Sure it works and it didnt catch fire!

Off on another tamgent…. Got some shop time with the grandbrat. He need a desk lamp so we looked around for an idea to steal and proceeded with welding 101. With a little help….

And yeah the Stoopid thread has morphed to a vast supositary of usless info, kinda like an encyclopedia. Thats it! The encyclopedia of stoopid! It’s like a Saturday afternoon sittin round in the shop, Drinkin a few shop pops and bench racing the guys! Gawd! enclosed? Sounds good in theory, but...

You cant fool me! I can see you designed the answer to the 90° drive angle dillema! you don't need no stinkin gear box!

Yeah i'm yanking yer chain. i was surprized at the stretch also. So the length increased by approximately 2 inches, that amounts to about .042" / link. l don't see the ends in your pic either. You trying to fool us? Maybe l should invest in a 100ft reel of the shyt?

Obviously oil is gonna be a better lube than dry or no lube. The down side is the dirt attraction and keeping it on the chain and not on the surrounding territory. there are recipes out there for wax/oil lubes, but they don't seem much better than the commercial stuff. The power and weight are...

Yeah thats the best way i believe. Dry lube cant hurt, it has to be better than nothing. Way better than volcanic grinding compound.

Todays topic on Hack's garage, chain lube! Purdy friggen exciting huh? l see a lot of posts off road stuff here. That is probably the single worst environment for a chain to exist in. Desert moon dust here makes an excellent grindinh compound it has the grit of talcum powder and the abrasiveness...

To be fair he receives “ coaching” from 2 old retired racer guys and 2 40 something guys that have a similar background. The training has been effective as the only incident was spin out while drifting around a turn

You might want to rethink this. My grandbrat started driving this thing @ 8 YO. It took about 2 hours for him to find WOT and he hasen't let up since. Now @ 11 YO he wants mo power. Evidently 45MPH ain't enough.

You could rig a throttle limiter quick and easy. Next week you'll be removing that when the kids get bored going slow. You'llbe amazed how quick they learn. Make sure all the saftey equip is in good condition, seat belt, helmet, gloves, nomex fire suit etc. ya might not need the last one...

I have been on a quest for a quiet muffler also, that is quite a dillemma. Automotive mufflers might be quieter but the size and weight pose quite the quandry. I have decided to give this one a try. They claim it is mo quiet and was quite easy to order. with that its time to quit all this BS...

We have wild bunnies, an infestation in fact. Destructive little critters. I shot 15 this summer. The coyotes love 'em. I hate em. They eat the landscape plants so now they eat lead.

After another Fire extinguisher clamp/bracket thingy broke this weekend l decided i need something mo bedder. The standard 2# bracket that has been around forever, just doesnt work in anything other than a highyway vehicle. So the engineerin department went to work. I learned decades ago that...
