For those who lurk on Reddit - my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is an iPhone app now
  • I sometimes use RDX to check out some small communities on reddit I miss. So first off, thanks! Secondly, is there a way to collapse comments or skip to the next root comment?

    A new-ish, well-maintained vehicle with new tires, fresh oil change etc, if it's left dormant & undriven untouched in a residential driveway for 1 year, will it be driveable after 1 yr?
  • I would highly recommend you do not drain the fuel tank, you should leave it with a full tank to minimize the amount of room for moisture in the air to condense. Too much moisture in your tank can cause it to rust from the inside out if it's steel.

    Twin I Beam prerunner I'm working on
  • Time will tell! I've made another person's design for an RC buggy out of PLA and it has held up fairly well for the most part. Worst case I can try PETG if I have issues.

  • The one that appears to be connected at the front has another beam that goes down to the other wheel knuckle. The one at the front is connected to the servo for the steering input. Hope that helps! Look up "dual swingset steering" for more information.

  • Econofil PLA from filaments.ca

    I love this line of filament, never had any problems with it. Used this colour just to use it up on my first test print, it's not my favourite colour. Looks too much like dry pasta.

  • I just think they're neat haha

    I have a 1996 F150 2WD which has beams and they've always kinda fascinated me as a solution so I wanted to dive into the design considerations.

  • I wanted a 1/10 scale prerunner with long travel suspension so I decided to make it myself! Designed in OnShape, printed on an Ender 3. I have a bit more info on my thingiverse page. Any other RC hobbyists on here? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6306854

  • Okay so flying kites is a very good time. Two line sport kites can be reasonably cheap and easy to learn. You can transition into larger power kites that are a total blast and quite a workout to control. I've never done it but you can move up to kiteboarding or similar sports as well.
