Kyosho Inferno rebuild

The problem was I hit a bump while I was braking and the car turned right unexpectedly. It was probably only doing 20mph at that point. I changed my line to avoid the bump when braking after that and all was good.

Fuck!

We've had a few power cuts over the last couple of days, something is wrong about a mile down the road. Again!

Thankfully the UPS has worked perfectly and for the short cuts it's kept the server running. For the longest cut it also then shut the server down.

It was still doing it's beeping to start with but I finally found a setting to stop it and it's all quiet now XD

I did try it all out. I mainly just use the auto four wheel steering. The crab walking is funny but not much use. The fully independent front and rear steering is really hard to get used to, but it's actually very useful. I was climbing up on to a concrete block wall and I had to steer the rear end only to get it to climb on with out the front going over the side. It's an amazing little car.

Either way..I'm watching

Why can't we have normal warm weather, JC?
23/05/26(Sat)20:39

jesus FUCKING christ, can't I just get a normal fucking summer for once?!

All I ask is 3 months of 25C with low humidity. With once or twice a week a bit of rain in the evening. Oh and a busty neighbour who needs me for sugar. ;)

Sadly the age check thing is going to be a thing in all OS's everywhere pretty soon. If they can find a way to do it where it doesn't leak peoples data and is anonymous in use then it would be a good thing, but I doubt that'll happen as then we can't be tracked!

Me looking at the huge list of AMD CPUs currently available

That is indeed the power supply I bought. Good to know it's decent.

Everything arrived today and I've put it all together. It seems to be working, so that's nice :)

Ubuntu 26.04 installed without issue. Seems ok, but I do find I miss some things from Mint. Maybe I'll just use Mint for the server.

The memory I bought second hand works well, although I could live without the RGB flashy shit! Thankfully it can all be switched off. I haven't pushed the memory to full speed yet, but I'll give a go tomorrow. I might just leave it on it's slower normal speed for server use though, it'll save about 5p of electricity a year! XD

47 degree climb and hold? No problem :D

Had a little 'in the field' shakedown, in the garden. It's pretty impressive how well it grips and climbs. The precise control over the motor is also really impressive.

General driving is not too bad. It's a little slower than a typical 1/10th car and doesn't corner too well due to the locked differentials, but I didn't expect and different.

I found a problem with the 'engine braking' setting in the ESC. The car just instantly stops when you lift off the throttle causing it to do a stoppy and almost flip over! XD I might need to adjust that!

Overall very pleased.

Still a few things to sort out, like the lights, but I'll get to all that soon.

It can only be better/worse.

Better if our I/O overlords are watching.
Worse if it's humons.

I thought AR was dead.. I guess they went more to 'smart' (AI barf) glasses? :|

So you gonna need 2 AR glasses? Or use one with combined sight if that would be possible. But I guess that be very expensive, right?

I have those far&near sight glasses. Okay, they also turn darker when the UV light is higher but that was only about 100 euro more. The total amount, for the glasses, was just too damn high!

Not yet. I've been hoping the CDS (Cat Distribution system) would provide me with another one, but it hasn't happened. I should really look in to it soon.
