Reupholstering 8th gen Accord door panels

I have an 08 Accord EX-L sedan

The vinyl on my front door panels was falling apart so I bought some replacement pieces on ebay and I looked all over the internet to find a tutorial on how to recover this piece and I couldn't find anything so I'm going to post how I did it and hopefully someone out there can use this to fix their own car.

The hardest part is removing the panel that the vinyl is on. For this I used a Dremel tool to cut around the melted plastic posts that hold the panel to the rest of the door panel. If you zoom in on that second picture that shows the back of the door you can see the melted posts and screws that hold the panel in. I used the Dremel to grind away the melted part leaving the post so that I could use a hot staple to reassemble the panel when I was done.

The rest of this repair is pretty straightforward. You just peel off your old vinyl and use spray adhesive to apply the new leather or fabric you have.

Each side took me about an hour to do including taking the door panel off and putting it back on. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Let me know if y'all have any questions.

Throttle issue with new electonics

I'm putting together a mjet Ragnarok 3d printed jet boat and I'm having an issue setting up the transmitter and ESC.

When I plug in the battery and pair the transmitter the motor spins when the throttle is at the neutral position and I have to hold it at full throttle to get it to stop so that I can unplug the battery.

I have used this transmitter and receiver with a smaller jet boat with no issues but now that I'm trying to use it with this new motor and ESC I'm having this problem.

I have tried adjusting the trim and doing the transmitter set up and reversing the throttle and changing the wiring from the motor to the esc. I'm hoping someone else has had this problem before and can help me out.

I picked up this truck used a few months ago and have been enjoying the heck out of it. I 3d printed this ramp for it out of PETG. I used very little infill and outer perimeters to save material. This made the ramp a little flimsy but I can easily print and replace the pieces of it when I need to. The next ramp I build will be printed from TPU so the pieces are less brittle. I used corrugated plastic sheet for the surface of the ramp. That part has held up surprisingly well and makes the overall ramp pretty light for its size. The ramp ended up being 4ft wide

I wanted to post a video of my truck doing some flips on the ramp but reddit isn't letting me for some reason.
