This fence is falling apart, but the posts are set into a giant trough of concrete. No clue how deep, but I have no interest in renting a jackhammer and then lifting all this concrete out into a trailer by hand, then unloading at the dump.

My current plan is to cut the posts at the bottom. Then use those metal brackets to bolt the post to the concrete a few inches over.

The problem is the concrete isnt level. What would you use to shim under rhe metal bracket? I'm afraid wood will rot.

What's the best approach?

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone has made a writeup about how to build a kit like these from scratch. I have lights and I just plug them into power now. But I'd rather control them with a button on my transmitter. I know $9 isn't a ton of money, but I'd rather buy some stuff on aliexpress and be able to build like 10 of them for $9. Plus I could probably keep the size down for my scx 24 and 30.

From what I can tell my receive puts out 0.4 volts on the signal, then it drops to like 0.02 volts when that channel is activated. So I assume I just need a little relay. Even if someone has a relay recommendation, I can try to figure it out from there and post my own writeup. I tried to search, but only found people with complicated projects using microcontrollers with brake lights and other neat things. I want to go simpler than that.

What is the recommended procedure to store a disassembled engine? I have it in a shed with no climate control. I'm starting to see rust on the deck, crank and exterior of the block. I cannot assemble it because I will eventually need to carry it over grass part by part to the garage.

Should I oil it up and wrap in plastic? Should I take it to a machine shop for a hot tank/cleaning first? It may be here for a long time.

Put out your campfires please. I came across this fire today with absolutely no one around.

If you camped here last night, you need to just flat out do better.

I used all the water I had, and buried it in ash the best I could. There were still some embers and my drive home was far thirstier than I wanted it to be.

After a few months of enjoying my mostly stock SCX10 iii Coyote, I'd like to try my hand at a build. I'd rather do a fresh build to have a second vehicle to share with a friend or my wife. Then I'll upgrade the Axial later. I really enjoy working at hard lines more than just moseying down a trail so I'm building with that in mind. Located in the PNW if that matters.

Can anyone provide some input into this parts list? I'd like to save as much as I can without too much compromise. This is all going to be over $1000 after shipping and taxes, which is quite a bit of money. I was thinking of going with the 1800Kv esc/motor instead. Is that worth saving $35?
I haven't ever used a high end servo, but the 35kg blue amazon servo I put on the coyote is still a bit lackluster, so I'd like to try a good one. Is there a better one to go with maybe under $100?

I'm not on facebook, and I don't know anyone else in the hobby, so I don't have access to a used parts market.

I really appreciate any input or feedback.

I accidently pinned it into the shed when I got distracted after this and broke my first part - a front link. Sad way to end an evening crawl.

The last piece of a long expensive puzzle just arrived. So exciting!
