444 - Recovery Mode: We Are Having Our Autumn Holidays.

 

As in our habits my wife and me are having a pair of weeks of holidays in our cottage in the alps. Autumn is one of our favorite season and we enjoy it staying relaxed for the pre Christmas period.

443 - FlashBack Friday: My Tamiya Cr-01, Part #2

 

After a year of driving it during our holidays on the alps my CR-01 started to show all its limits, at better thinking its center of gravity lays a bit higher, suspensions are a bit complex ant that rail chassis is a bit redundant: a long season of mumbling started in 2013.

442 - Tamiya BBX: The Brushless Conversion Is Almost Done!

Spite the few time to dedicate to the hobby I've almost completed the installation of the brushless ESC/Motor in my BBX. 

With the narrow spaces between the cage's tubes doing cabling is always a PITA and I've been forced to dissasemble the rear cage the sensor cable is a new entry to me but it's a disturbing presence already.

The curiosity to do a short shake down was much strong so,  before putting the rear cage back, I've putted a battery on and I gave gas for a time or two (three... four...) on the entrance driveway and I've noticed that with the brushless motor NiMHs struggle, I guess it is the time to consider to buy a pair of LiPo packs, again!
