Love this guy’s sense of humor. Also love that he’s not working with an unlimited tool budget and with unlimited floor space… Not yet anyway. I do hope his channel takes off and provides him with the excuse to go wild with not only projects but tool/workshop acquisition as well.
In the mean time: Cody, if you’re listening, I’ve got a 13” lathe, a manual mill, a mig, plasma cutter, drill presses, grinders, vises, files and a willingness to let you learn on them if you need to make a part that you don’t have the equipment for. I’ve got to disclose that I’m no machinist, but with trial and error I’ve managed to get through some stuff I probably shouldn’t have attempted. I’m an hour north of downtown Houston.

Self post - and to answer why - box on top because I am too lazy to wire the second ESC to the boards battery.

Everything else cause I need to try all wheel drive.

Before:

61lb vanguard. I need to just wire in the second ESC.

You think? I can’t see why it would be more fun than a scooter, and the riding position with the handlebars that far forward might be awkward.

I haven’t ever been on a scooter so I can’t really give a opinion, but I had a kick scooter with the big wheels (maybe 16 in) when I was a kid and I rolled over anything on it.

I definitely see why you put it here, but I’m a sucker for anything that has a motor so I’d ride about anything in this category with no shame :grin:

You’re just supposed to be accelerating so hard all the time that the weight balances out

thank you so much for the smile … reminded me I’ve done worse… from an old confession post :joy:

I’m quite proud of the frankenstein post-apocolyipic style of my ‘will last 1 ride no more’ collection of old china bits build :joy:


yup that is some of that green gardening wire and hotglue :grinning:
