Bought a huge box of wheel this week. I just finished going threw them. Total 23 tires 12 aluminum rims sets and 12 plastic rims sets. Half 4 pin other 6 pin. I think I will sell the 4 pin wheels As I mainly use 6 pin.

I have decided to keep the 4 pin plastic wheel half's. I can make the hubs to mount them. I finished drawing up the plans.

[king quarterscale]

Started machining the hubs today.

[king quarterscale]

Finished front hubs today. Just need shorter bolts. I will do the rear next week. I ordered more material to make more later.

[king quarterscale]

Had to order a new DRO kit as the old unit died. Installed yesterday and what a difference it makes. I can now start making more hubs again.

[king quarterscale]

Finished making 4 pin hubs front and rear. I made 3 full sets of 4. Plan on making 6 pin hubs same for other plastic wheels.

I finished making the 6 pin bolt on hubs today! I have 3 full sets of 4. I can mount aluminum or plastic wheels.

[king quarterscale]

Bought a huge lot of plastic wheels from the same seller I bought the tires from.

[king quarterscale]

Plastic rim arrived today. Most are 4 pin. A few that were 6 pin and 4 pin same style as I had purchased before and other 4 pin area different style rim. I have cleaned 1/2 of the box. total were 21 complete rims. 2 rims halves are a different width. Not standard 1" or 2 " like 1-1/2" and another 2 wheels were one piece.

[king quarterscale]

Got to the bottom of box and there was 8 more 1-1/2" wheel halves. I have cleaned them all up.

Trimmig the Comander 2 this week.

[king quarterscale]

Scored a lot of Zenoah g2d engines and parts!

[king quarterscale]

Went threw the lot today and there were lots of new part Enough to build 2 + engines and I have a third from another lot that now can be completed. All that was missing was hardware to complete the second and third engines.

[king quarterscale]

Had a second look again at parts and just found out I had a lighten flywheel and advance time coil kit. !!!! Awesome.

[king quarterscale]

Started ordering hardware to put G2d engines back together.

[king quarterscale]

Found gasket material to make new gaskets that are discontinued for G2d. Making several spare sets now.

[king quarterscale]

Finished front 6 bolt bearing hubs Today. Now I can start the throttle servo mount for the G2d engines. I bought a carbon fiber sheet. Original was fiberglass and it was to much flex.

[king quarterscale]

cut carbo fiber sheet today. I didn't have a carbide tip blade. So I had to do some edge sanding to get throttle servo plates to size. I made 6 . Drilling wasn't a big deal. I use a end mill for the 1/2" bore holes. I will finish the other 3 tomorrow I mounted one and tried it out. Much stiffer now..
