Day 2451

 I woke up at 7:30 and payed games for over an hour.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I went out to the shed.

I had three RC goals today.  One was to reset the Kraton gear mesh.  It was too tight.  I did that, but the adjustment screws are almost stripped out.  The second goal was to do the three B74 differentials.  I did that.  I'm glad that I had John's scale.  It would have been almost impossible to do it by eye.  The 200K oil was almost putty.  The third goal was to get the stuff ordered for the mini-b roller.

I took the mini-b inside and commenced a session of measurements and looking at specs.  I made sure that the ESC I want to buy would work.  I also checked the motor specs.  It was good that I did.  Losi uses a weird gear pitch (0.5 Mod).  Pinions of that pitch aren't available.  To make it worse, Losi's pinion uses an old standard 2mm motor shaft.  I could only find one suitable motor, and it took a long time to find it.

It was after dinner before I had the order set up.  Most of it comes from AMain, but some comes from Amazon.

Dinner was frozen pizza.  After dinner I went back out to the shed.  I cut out the B74s body and wing.  I kept some waste pieces for Ellen to experiment paint on.  I also drained the tanks.

It was 9 before I got done.  The rest of the evening was TV.
