Well laid down the law last night, told her I don't care wtf she does, but the budget is what it is, and she needs to earn $1*** a fortnight for us to get through. (I put in $1*** a f/n and a fully maintained work car)

Also reminded her that her dogs have set us back $20k in vet bills the past 6 yrs and I can't sell a dog when we run into a bill, thats her hobby the cars are mine period.

We went to her folks which is where she tries to complain about me the most, so I took the Truggy along and hacked around the front yard. Lasted 3 minutes before both front wheels detonated, one tyre came off a rim, the other stripped a wheel hex (silly me used a socket to tighten the 17mm wheel nuts by hand and didn't wrench them that extra bit) So the stripped wheel hex I have tried to save by putting a coat of silicone in there and molding a new hex shape, and will get some tyre glue today.

9XL motor ran cool on 4sA123, watts meter showed a amp peak of 114 amps geared 17/51 and in 3 minutes used 1150mah so not the most efficient set up.


Say Less, Do More.
