At first I was pissed off when I found out the rims I brought were junk. But shit happening is how we learn, so I got to learning how to make an axle that would work with the rims. Turns out the junk rims was more fun than good rims.

Wicked impressive! You have the eye of artist, the brain of engineer, and heart of a junker. Awesome combination for a maker. Glad we have you in the RC hobby. I am always inspired after I watch you work. I have solved more than a few trouble spots after I watch one of your videos. Thanks for whay you do and showing it on KZfaq.

Dude you are infinitely creative with things you use. Those rear “brakes” turned out awesome after rust.

Thank you mate! What surprised me was the parts all self aligned when I press fit them together. In my case bashed with hammer. Elegant as a bulldozer in a China shop is me.
