008 - Mission accomplished

Installing a full set of stainless steel screws is a simple work of re-building. I did it for my FF03 following the Tamiya manual and having a lot of fun, it was almost the same of building a new kit.
The only "problem" is that the two long screws that are screwed in the motor plate passing trough the motor stay and the gearbox are too much longer. It depends from the carbon motor stay that I'm using that it is tiny respect the stock one.
I solved this little inconvenient using two trimmed CVA shocks spacers.
I used a old mouse pad to get a new foam bumper... nice!

007 - Stainlees Steel

Finally it's arrived! I ordered this stainless steel screws set for my FF03 the 27th of april from RcScrewz.com and they shipped it to me the 29th, indicating a delivery time of 6-10 business day and i think it is a reasonable time to wait considering that I live in Italy and they are from US.

But , at that time, I didn't know anything about the postal disaster that it was hitting the italian postal service... And today I've received it. The strange thing is that yesterday I sended an e-mail to the italian post to know something about my srew set, coincidence?

Finally this evening I can swap all the original Tamiya screws for the stainless steel set forgiving, for a evening, the buzzing gremlin that lives in to my servos.

006 - Servo gremlin

Since I've bought my new Ex-5 a month ago I've a problem with my low budget Futaba servos (Fp-s148 and S3003). After the switching on it is all right but after the first servo movement, when it returns on neutral position,  I start to hear a "grr" and servo overheats.I tried to solve this problem with the several set up possibilities of my new radio but the gremlin remains and I really don't know what to do.
