071 - High Tech Rice


I've got a pair of KO spare receivers awaiting to be used: the KR-407S came with my EX 5 and was saved for car without many space and the KR-201S was bought as spare.
The place were I live is particulary humid and I prefer to save unused electronics from potential risks. So, to prevent moisture damages, I decided to use a ermetic food container and a punch of rice... of course I prefer it as risotto or, if japanese, as onigiri or in a donburi :)

070 - Good Brothers Share All!


Sometimes taking a decision isn't easy but, this time, decide to swap my never-ending-Brat-project's unis with my beloved Green One's dog bones sounds like a columbus egg.
Tamiya unis aren't cheap and it's a shame keep them on my Brat that, awaiting for a definitive set up, does not have a run from years. I quickly decided to do the business and complete my WO's drivetrain.



Done!

068 - Ouch! Poor Blitzer!

I'm continuing the deep cleaning of my RC fleet. Today has been the turn of my Stadium Blitzer and, considering that it was already cleaned two or three times during the summer, I only removed the dust and filled up with marine grease the differential (it seems very smooth and I'm really curious to feel how it drives).
In cleaning the car I discovered a pair of cracks and some deep scratches on the body and a little crack on the chassis that, for the moment,  I fixed it with a little of styrene glue.





In the next future I have to buy a new body and a new chassis to bring my Blitzer to its best conditions.

067 - Wabi-Sabi(?)



Today, after a summer of bashing without any maintenance (excepted for new diff gears), I deep cleaned my Wild One. Usually, before this type of operations, I order some new parts to bring the car closer to the original splendor but this time I decided to "simply" clean the car, to rebuild the dampers, remove dust and little stones and so on.
I'm fascinated by the Wabi-Sabi concept tipycal of the japanese culture and I figure that my WO with the signs of use but cleaned and in full efficiency could be a sample of this idea of beauty.
