    I can't wait to pick one of these up. I had a thought for a scale detail; the holes that the micro servo sits in leaves enough room for some more thread in there, so maybe a license plate holder could be made to go on. Maybe with some stand-offs or spacers, but it might look cool and "hide" the servo a bit too.
    Really awesome work, this is so cool, thank you for doing this.

    • @RCeveryday
      @RCeveryday  ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought about that or even making them spikes just to look cool. But everything interfered with the servo horn moving.

  • @TheUncleRuckus

    A Monster Truck Rat Rod crawler would be awesome! 🤘
    One suggestion is that if you do you power tools to not use an Impact Driver/Drill like that, use a Drill Driver that has _Adjustable Torque Settings_ and turn it all the way down to 1 to start from there. Or you could have a bad day. 😂 👍👍

    • @RCeveryday
      @RCeveryday  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends on the axles specifically, some have different spindles, most generic ones are about 5 and 1/4 inch eye to eye. All depends on the rod ends as well. Its so versatile. The cheap ones on amazon work well.
