      yep, out of toes too.

      Quite a few ppl have been RC’ing Barbie’s VW Transporter, Barbie’s Corvette, Barbie’s 355 Ferrari, Barbie’s RAV4 etc etc.

      So last week I went and bought… Barbie’s VESPA…! 👿

      Thing will need a drivetrain AND a steering system to be scratchbuilt; guess I’d better bearing the plastic wheels too.

      I guess it’s nice to have things to do, I enjoy the building/repairing part, but not nearly as much as tasting the fruits of my labour….

      So far with my boat, ive got the thing built/driveshaft epoxied in place, rudder, canopy chopped/ Watercooling system installed.

      Now it needs to have some gap filler applied all over, sanded, sealed, painted, get everything installed, buy 2-3 sets of Li-Ion batteries….oh and I need to make a cradle!!

      The firebird was crashed, and the motor/battery pack is shagged. Though i have 18 cells that are the same size as the Firebird ones, 900 Mah Nimhs.

      Im thinking of a gearbox and a higher pitch prop….oh and a new speed 400 is going in it when I find the time….

      Built a 5 cell Nimh Rx pack for the 1/10 nitro buggy. As I am financially Fucked atm, silicone retreads are my only option!!!

      The 1/10 boat…..well I just never got time to finish it, i got 90% of it done.
      Its running a fan cooled multiplex speed 600, but I don’t know if it has the grunt I need.

      Don’t make me post a picture of my garage !
      It has enough space for six (1:1) cars. I can just barely get my two motorcycles in !
