    if you think about it, you built an XL from scratch. i had the same thoughts with my 21, but in reality i didn't use one piece from the 21.

    I had a thought this past week.

    i maybe putting the brakes on this till i find out if i can get a diamond coated cutter for the CNC machine here at work. i used a 22.5 degree V bit to cut my prototype out. what's nice about this bit is that the actually cutting blade can be changed out. replaceable blades are cheaper then...

    I had a thought this past week.

    savage is a good name for a Decepticon i felt. i draw up some XL TVPs in autocad and machined them out using one of the CNC machines at work. the fit is pretty good for the first go around. i don't like how the emblem came out. needs to be more open. also, the cut outs might be too much for...

    update with video, what is my truck doing

    i might have the carb opening a little big. i've been checking it. i set it at a little more then a 1/32. 1mm is almost half way between 1/32 and 1/16. i believe with that setting and the LSN at 2 out (FS) it wanted to take off. i'll double check that. i have to fix the axles on the...
