Here are a few pics of my redneck solutions for compressing the spring. The ratchet straps were a bit safer...

    Mini RC track

    My kids got me hooked on 1/24 RCs. One thing that helped hook me is that the mini's are much cheaper than the bigger cars. So when just about everyone in the fam started buying them I decided to make a track. My Wife and I host our family for a family dinner each month, I figured we could put...

    Rear wheel breaky

    You can see at about the 6:00 position the breakage. Spoke torque was checked before this trip, I didn't hit any memorable bad roads or bumps, I do very little off-road and what I do do is at 'relaxed' speeds. I would have guessed that I would be one of the last to have a broken wheel. About...
