UPS and USPS on the same day, bringin' me goodies

Here's two.

Well, dawg inspired me to build a servo winch with his pics of recently acquired goodies. I'm jealous I guess. I had an old ace 1015 that used to not work but now apparently does,wtf! Pulled the pin on the gear, and glued the pot to neutral. Made a spool out of a couple plastic circular horns and a small spacer. Done and free!

Now 2 issues. The one I will figure out eventually, where the hell do I mount the thing. The other is a question, apparently my digital servos are supposed to be run on a setting of 5.5ms. At least that is what it says on the screen of my dx3r. Now I read that my 3rd channel will not work on the 5.5ms setting, so I set it to 11, now it works, and perfectly. Am I doing anything wrong? Will this actually harm anything?

[1santaever]

Well if it was a broken servo that unbroke than I say let it eat lol to me it sounds like the worst you could end up with is a broken servo or am I missing the point?

[460bronco]

There is also a steering servo that runs off the same radio. Also digital.

[1santaever]

On so I was missing the point

[nebie545]

I mounted my servo winch in the back.screwed a flat alu plate on the the rear h-brace and bumper mount. then ran the line thru an antenna tube zip tied to the frame around the tranny.. will text u a pic

[corporatelemon]

Thats an awesome idea! Nebie

So I sold some old springs from my bronco and made a small treat to myself thanks to the Saturday sale from rpp last week. USPS tracking still says expected delivery is Thurs march 5th. Grrrrrrr! The damn package has been bouncing around California all week! Don't they know we're like crack addicts?!
Hi, my name is Bill, I have an addiction. NOW WHERE ARE MY F@#$%&G PARTS!

The missing Yeti part I ordered shoulda been here today, but tomorrow is ok too. I'll still have the part in hand before Hobbico customer "service" replies to my e-mail. It takes a friggin' week or more to answer back? And how long to ship?

F'em!

Is that why they called this rig a yeti? Cause its so hard to find, they can't find the real thing either

[TrailDawg362]

You might be on to something there, bud!

[1santaever]
