187 - Last Weeks Recap

After the purchase of two NiMH powerpacks I've bought a new charger more compact than my old Hyperion and with improved specs.

My TA01 project have been completed with a proper body: Lancia 037 from TBG a repro of the Chevron Models one. Now I have to paint it! :-)

Last but not least something that I couldn't resist: a custom carbon fiber chassis perfect match for a Group B body.

186 - Leaving The Modern Era: Back To NiMHs

I've purchased a pair of comfortable and stress-free 5000 NiMH!
I've seriously and proudly tried to enter the moder era but when 2 of the 6 Lipos I've bought during this years started to bulge I've decided to throw them apart: my fault for sure!
I do not drive often my little cars and after my moving in Venice I haven't neither a proper workbench to take care of my RC stuff so I've decided to switch back to NiMHs.
Of course I will not start to wear animal fur and to carry a wooden club but, for a while, I will comfortably remain in the NiMH limbo.

185 - It Stands On Its Wheels

Now my TA01 stands on its four wheels, electronics is in place but probably I will swap the Hobbyking ESC with the MTroniks Tio Storm X to avoid problems due to the 14x2 motor I've installed. I don't want to buy another set of tie-rods so I will built it out from a threaded shaft: easy-peasy.
Body is choosen and bought: a Civic, the queen of sleepers.
