      <image:caption>This is the screen from the passenger side. The best part is your copilot can operate the screen while you drive. There is no lockout feature, which is AWESOME. Thank you, Ford! Now, as a driver…. please let the passenger work the screen while you drive. I really don’t want Ford to get sued, so they have to change it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The rear most seat does not come with pull tabs. In fact, the rental company filled in the hole with metal plug because they don’t want people removing the seats. Where is the trunk monkey when you need him? “Honest, I didn’t remove the seats…..”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>These are the pull tabs that allow you easily remove the seats, but from what I can tell it should be a two person job. So, if you bought one you could easily remove some seats and still have room for the family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - New Motor and New Problems: DisArrma-ed - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Getting the motor mounted is not as much of a challenge as you would think. Basically, you put the motor in the chassis, you get the gears where you want them, shine a flashlight through the chassis mounting holes, put your screw in the hole, and loosely attach that screw to the motor. Now it is easy to get the other hole to line up with the motor mount as you watch the gears mesh. The hardest part was getting the speed demon back inside the motor ….. okay… so it was just a cool light trick.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There is a spot that says “Fan” on the speed control, but that will only work with a 2-wire plug. I did some digging, and to do the Arrma fan, you have to attach it behind the LiPO/NiMH jumper.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is the bone stock truck right as you would open the box. I did take some time to break in the motor with some revving up, then running at slower throttle, and then revving it again. I am not sure if that makes a difference, but this truck is quicker than I thought.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is the 2S LiPO. I was surprised that the results were pretty much the same. The only thing that I would say is improved is the run time. Other than that the speed was dead on the same.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This was very disappointing. I am thinking that the motor is shot. It is possible that the Deans or the T Connector might not be as good as the Spectrum connector.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2S,  3S, and NiMH…. Oh My! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was the most disappointing. I really thought we could get closer to 30mph or at least over 25mph with the 3S LiPO. There is something going on with the motor and I might want to check the card programming. I did check the throttle trim on my controller, and it was all set to 100%. I am still suspicious of the motor.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I really do not know how that happened. I have never seen a servo crack like this. All I can think is the truck was driven a lot with the body off and rolled many, many, many, and many more times. I bought it used, so the previous owner, and who knows what happened.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Road Trip Report: Pompey’s Pillar/Tower</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now you might be thinking, “What? They traveled through Rome to get to North Dakota?” Well, yes, our minivan doubles as a time machine. It's pretty wild what happens because that's when V-TEC really kicks in. The secret is holding 88 mph + 5200 rpm. It is a tough combo, but you know when you hit it because you travel in time. Well, so far it only works to see the future quicker, but we are working on traveling back in time as well. So, I do not have a time machine, this is not the Roman pillar, but the pillar outside of Billings, MT that bears Clark’s signature. You can read about the National Monument here. This is the pillar that Clark discovered. Not, the “She’s a beat clark” as complimented by Cousin Eddie. Rather, it is the explorer Clark, as in the Lewis and Clark Expedition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You notice that the landscape is flat, and then there is a rock that is jutting out of the ground. It is just fascinating to stare at it. I can see why the Clark expedition had to stop.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It helps to heat up the body so the sticker glue sticks. Be warned! The stickers REALLY stick with this trick, so when you stick it…. well, you are committed. This heat gun has served me well over the years. I get no clams, but just pass along a great product.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 4Runner Cruising with the Cruisers: 406 Cruiser Vintage Days - Every year we have a club picnic just to get together. We do a raffle, swap lies…. you know like the small rock garden becomes the insurmountable cliff face that only BigFoot can climb when chasing goats. However, I engaged my locker, let my rig walk up to the start of the rock. I inched forward little by little and almost made it. I mean the flex on my rig was so intense I thought I was going to snap the frame. Then I had to slide out the window because I put my rig in the only place I could. The rocks surrounded me and I could only slide out the window and rock climb to the top. Thankfully, I was able to carry the winch line in my mouth, and then I slide down the winch line like batman. At that point the rock began to shift so I could only climb in my rig through the sunroof. The rocks were starting to cave in around me, but I gave it some gas. I hit the remote button on the winch just in the nick of time and just escaped the avalanche of rocks. The howling wind was brutal, the birds of prey were gathering for a feast, and I saw the huge cave right in my line. The top of the cliff was going to be straight up without a line to drive. Thankfully, I managed to hang on the winch line, I went over a cave, and got the wheels on the top of the mountain just before everything collapsed behind me. Man that was close! I had no idea that Bigfoot and Smokey the bear hung out at night. That was a really cool night to sit around the camp fire and hang with some new buds. However Bigfoot really needs to lighten up!”</image:title>

      <image:caption>I really love fall mornings in Montana. My joke is that summer in Montana is the best two weeks of the year. However, our fall weather is great. Nice and crisp in the morning and at night. Then the daytime hits a sweet spot.. The mountains are always therapeutic for me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tuning the Slash - Nitro is not as easy as electric (That part is true) Turning a carb is a bit of pain, but it is a fun pain once you channel your inner fuel injection. I found that it really helped to just keep saying, “I am the fuel injection…. mMMMmMMM…. I am the fuel injection.”  Or I might deserve the Joe Isuzu warning.  Honestly, the tuning process is more trial and error while watching the exhaust emit liquid or smoke.  You have to be the brain of the car.  Who knew that Lightning McQueen was onto something? “Speed…. I am speed….. “ Or “fuel mixing… I am the fuel mixing.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am not lying about the tuning part. That is way more challenging than tuning an electric car!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tuning the Slash - If you think of a clock being on the top of the carb, the needle slots are facing hour numbers. You picture the clock and turn that needle counterclockwise (open it/richen it/more fuel to burn) or clockwise (close it/lean it/less fuel to burn) only one hour at a time. The image to the right has the different settings you can use. There is a PDF file you can download if you click the image or click here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just think of opening or closing a faucet. I discovered that slight adjustments make all the difference so no need to crank away. You can also print out one of my break-in sheets and write down the stock settings. I was told the standard is in and four turns out. Remember, these are full turns and not half turns. You have to commit to the hokey pokey. When you shake it all about…. well it is not a half shake, but a shake and a turnaround. So, turn that screw like you mean it! Full turn!</image:caption>

Yeah, I am working on the video…. I might have to get multi-personality disorder so we have more people around here to finish projects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tuning the Slash - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I move them closer together. The Slash has a sweet stance. The sound of the Nitro is way better than the electric. The M-05 with the 15t motor rips… at least I think it is 15t it might be 13t. All I know is that we were laughing at the little CRX burning out at the start. I should drop my brushless motor in my rally car and run it against the brushed. That sounds like a future post!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here we have the sad story of the Traxxas. It is back on the bench waiting to receive some love. The radio lost connection to the truck and I did not set the fail-safe with aggressive enough braking. So, it used a mailbox post to bring it to a final stop. Now, I set the fail-safe so it will fully brake immediately. I do worry about it flipping if it breaks communication with the radio again. Oh well, I will do some trial and error to figure out if it is better to go to 3/4 brakes or full brakes. This could be fun, and done in a very open parking lot! The Slash might be on the bench a few more times.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thankfully, it is not that bad. It is just a couple of parts and then it will be good as new. I put the parts roughly together to make sure I got everything that I needed. I hate going to the hobby store and discovering that I forgot something essential. If you do the same thing to your slash here are the parts: Traxxas Caster Blocks 3632 &amp; Steering Blocks 3736 I ordered this from Amazon. I am not sure if it is good quality, but the link is here. Yeah, it is my affiliate link so I get some clams. I will let you know if the part brings chicken dinner. You know… winner winner chicken dinner! Thanks for reading! Now get out and play!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Slash: She’s a Rippin’…. Not just playing Air Guitar - Break-in Procedure I took a screen shot of the Traxxas Manual (I downloaded a copy to make sure I had one on my puter), turn the paper landscape, and then put 6 boxes to jot down the engine temp after each run. I didn’t take many notes, but I certainly carried the authority well with the clipboard, pen, and jotting down little things here and there. Note to self: get a yellow vest when you break in the next nitro car. You can download your own PDF. If you want to look official when breaking in the car you can get a hard hat and lab coat or just drive the car and have fun.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Update on Slash… Nitro, not the Guitarist… although I hope he is well - Ideally, you are going to want a flywheel wrench for this part. I know that people have used pliers, but you are taking a chance of running out to the hobby store to buy a new flywheel. Who knows if they even have one in stock? Attach the flywheel wrench to the flywheel pins, and then turn the clutch nut with the nitro glow plug removal multi-tool or ratchet. It is usually an 8mm or 10mm depending on the engine. You simply hold one of the pins with the flywheel wrench and then tighten the clutch nut to German spec. You know, ghood N tight. If you don’t feel like you are on the verge of puking you didn’t pronounce the Germon spec correctly. The translation in English is roughly, “Good and Tight.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Update on Slash… Nitro, not the Guitarist… although I hope he is well - The next thing you want to do is check the carb alignment. I may or may have experience with this because I failed to note the problem. Well, I am the “Special” or the “Chosen One” who holds the piece of resistance, and so I did not do this. Or I totally did it and channeled Chris Farley walking into the sliding glass door in Tommy Boy, “Son ofa….”. Getting back on track…. The thing to note before you wiggle the motor into place is to make sure that the throttle arm is in line with the intake for the air filter. You might think, “How the heck do you adjust that thing? This is going to be difficult.” Well, this is why I am here. For a limited time and for only 19.95 I can tell you how to make the adjustment AND you get a free crappy toaster! But wait there’s more…. Or maybe not.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Update on Slash… Nitro, not the Guitarist… although I hope he is well - The temptation you might have is to start turning screws to see what will allow the throttle arm to turn. Please don’t do that. You will really hate life when you try to fire up the motor. Well, I guess you won’t hate life, but you will have to turn all the carb screws back to factory settings which is going to delay the fun factor. All you have to do is take a hex key, I love this set, I was able to find the correct hex, get a really good hold on the set screw, and loosen it. The screw is on German spec remember, “Ghoooot N Tight” so you have to give it a pretty good turn. Once the screw is loose you can turn the throttle arm to align roughly the same angle as the intake.</image:title>

      <image:caption>You also have to get the clutch plates mounted in the bell housing. I hooked the spring first. I lined up the clutch plates facing each other, and then I rolled the spring over them. If you notice, I laid out the ball bearings and the shims to make sure I didn’t have too much play in the bell housing. I used the Traxxas Teflon washers. You will probably want to pick some up at your hobby store, not to mention the e-clips or circlips. Traxxas has a pretty handy variety pack. I am pretty sure that it is 5mm e-clip and it is nice to have an e-clip tool. However, you can use pliers if you are careful. It is not going to burn the house down or anything, but it is frustrating when they fly in the air, and then you have to look for it. Remember that Tommy Boy crashing into the sliding door? Yeah, you might have a few of those moments. Hopefully, you don’t shoot your eye out in the process. Oh, different movie… my bad. The video below is a pretty good explanation of the clutch setup. I did not make the video or produce the video. I only linked the video so please don’t harm the messenger.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The clutch is sitting on the flywheel all pretty. Supposedly, you can flip the clutch to get a more aggressive takeoff. I have not played with this option, but it might be something to play with in the future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Update on Slash… Nitro, not the Guitarist… although I hope he is well - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you have the motor roughly placed, but before you wiggle it all the way in, make sure that the carb is able to accept the fuel line. It might bump up against the differential case just enough to prevent the fuel line from getting seated on the fuel intake. Yes, I had another Tommy Boy experience. I am getting really good at wiggling the motor into the chassis and out of the chassis by this point. You do the hokey pokey and you wiggle the motor out. That’s what it’s all about….. This is the tricky part.This is the exhaust side of the motor. I found that pulling out the motor mount behind the gas tank was the easiest way to move the motor into place. You will have to jiggle it to get it to move. The other thing to note is if the flywheel is on a car stand the motor will not drop into place. The flywheel sticks through the bottom of the chassis in the cutout. (Ignore the black wire. I cut the zip ties and moved the wire with the other wires to clean up the chassis.) So, I slide the motor into place. I pulled the motor toward the back of the chassis a little bit. I slid the motor mount into place, lined up the screws, and tightened it all down. The oval hole is where you put the screw, and the hole is machined that way so you can move the motor to set the gear mesh on the other side.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If the carb is just too tight against the differential you just need to slide the motor out, turn the nut maybe a quarter turn to loosen it, and you can adjust the carb so the intake will take the fuel line.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you have a new motor you will remove the pull start if you want to attach the EZ start. There are just three screws and it is very easy to attach. Just learn from me and move the black wires BEFORE mounting the EZ start. If you forget just cut the zip ties and you can move the wire over the head/the motor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My Love for Tamiya - I also love how Tamiya models are scaled.  I mean scale with incredible detail injected into the body moulding.  Once you add decals and paint, you can make a car look like. areal car.   In fact, my response to their new car build is, “Well, that settles it!  Now I have to buy the model and the 1:1 scale model!”  If you are good at painting, you can send a pic of the finished model to your friends and say, “Hey, look what I got?”  Then, wait for the reply, “Duuuddd! How did you get a 911?”  Then you send them the pic of you holding it.  The fun never stops!</image:title>

      <image:caption>The Traxxas Easy Start system lays nicely on the rear bumper. I keep having trouble with the grey wire disconnecting from the motor. I plan to solder the wires to the motor so I am sure that the motor will have power when I want to start it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The blue wire is for the electric start. The wire attaches to the glow plug. You can tell if the glow plug is bad because when you hit the start button on the wander the green light for the glow plug will not glow. Personally, I have a separate ignitor to use so I can heat the plug before starting the motor. One thing I don’t like about the Traxxas EZ start is that you cannot heat the glow plug separate from turning the motor.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The other reason I like the hobby is it gives you something to do with a kid. The wife sees you as a good dad, but the reality is… well, I’m just a big kid. On a serious note it keeps the kids away from too many video games which I think is a good thing. it gets you outside, and making an RC car do donuts can bring out the kid in all of us. Don’t we all need more kid these days?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is a buggy I built to race against Short Course Trucks. The reason: i was too cheap to buy a short course truck, and I really loved the buggy. I pulled out the Losi Xleron brushless system and went back to brushed Tamiya Sport Tuned motor. Not as fast as it was, but more fun to run against my son’s TT02B buggy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is the beginning build of my son’s Bronco body. Tamiya does a great job of making a scale model!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why the Radio Controlled Cars - CC02 Bronco</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here we are applying some decals. The cat crap has alcohol… so my son can stay calm while decaling…. I kid…. I kid…. It is to clean the body so the decals stick. Another trick is to use windex so you can slide them around a little before they fully stick.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why the Radio Controlled Cars - CC02 Almost Finished</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is my son’s bronco or the CC02 almost finished. We still need to add the roof rack and decals. It is a really fun build even if you are not a Ford fanboy…. which I am not. However, I will concede that the new Bronco in the 2 door looks phenomenal.</image:caption>
