Damn! That is a very sweet setup. Using a base frame of stock alu profiles is perfect for customisation.

Pretty sure there are arduino, or similar, projects for rev counters etc. I've seen people use mobile phones for that too and mounting the phone on the centre of the wheel or behind it.

It should support it's own weight just fine. The servo is rated at '7Kg', but exactly what they mean by that is always open for question. This little wrecker rock crawler is only 643g. The 4 wheel steer mini rock crawler is 800g, but it has heavy brass wheels on it to give it more grip. The 1/10th rock crawler is 3360g!

I'm really enjoying these 1/18th rock crawlers. They're a perfect size to drive around on obstacles you find around everywhere without having to build a specific course for them. The 1/10th rock crawler really needs a proper course built for it to really challenge what it can do. But I hope to build some cool obstacles for all of them in my garden in the future. I just have a load of 'real life' bullshit to deal with first! XD

We have too many of those already, but I hear there is an opening in Clacton that might be of interest to them.

This is super sad :(

I didn't even realise he was that old either.

So I need to make a tight fitting lid. I'm sure the neighbours are going to love this XD

Farage is such a dumb cunt. He thought if he quit as an MP and then got voted back in that he would then not be investigated for dodgy financial dealings. He's going to get investigated regardless! Wanker!!!

Binface for PM!

3 days of 'joy' here too.

Soon the new summer, coming to you fo' free!

My bad. I stand corrected :D

Much better XD

I saw a video were it looks like an Igla MANPADS 'killed' that innocent fuel storage tank. Somebody might be send to the gulag..if they make it.

>>39778 I'd like to try this at some point

I've been cleaning up the car after it's run in the quarry and found a bent bolt on the top of the front left shock absorber. Thankfully no other damage found. I do have some concerns for the chassis though. That 3mm aluminium plate is only going to take so many rocks hitting it before it needs replacing XD

Boo!

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

Fit young playing with balls. What's not to like :D

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. ;)

>>39759 Oh, that sounds just like the weather we have here.

The dragons left because the asses went to London.

Nap time for everyone!

Damn! That's some pretty funky shit!

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!

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.

And also fuck ICE!

Thank you good sir.

I'm okish. Been having a lot of headaches and just generally feeling like shit. Such is life :/

It can only be better/worse.

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

Same here. It was a bit slippery this morning but now it's raining and all white shit's gone.

Why does every company have to add AI to everything now!?! FFS :(
