Well I got tired of the electrical tape holding the hood on after the hinges broke. Here's my rough solution. It works well. It's just a bit of 1.6mm aluminium plate. 90mm long, and the screw holes are 80mm and 60mm apart. Cut outs are 45mm apart.
Hi folks, I'd be grateful for help. I had a Rheem Stellar stainless 250l hot water service installed in 2021. Since that time it has burned through 4 elements. Not very stellar. In the first three cases, the element corroded and failed internally (according to the sparky). In the latest case, there is water leaking out of the electrical connections of the element (see photo).
The website says this model does not use a sacrificial anode.
I've had several electricians out to deal with this over the years and none can understand it.
The thermostat has been replaced more than once, with temp set appropriately.
Rheem say it shouldn't be happening but they haven't been much help beyond this.

Now onto my 5th element and I have spent more in 5 years on elements than the HWS itself, which ironically is supposed to last for years (stainless etc).
My first SCX24 build. It has been a steep learning curve and there's plenty of bugs to iron out. Not the prettiest truck and I plan to repaint. Anyway, both the process and outcome have been very satisfying. It's really capable and regularly out-crawls my TRX4.
I need some advice on my first scx24 build. I'm trying to put an EMax servo on the pictured Ali express axle. The mount width is okay but the depth is an issue because the upper link points aren't flush with the servo mount base. I've considered an aftermarket mount, but the attachment system for the mount on this axle seems non-standard. Grateful for any help!
