I woke up about 7:30 and played games before getting up for pet stuff and breakfast. Then I did a little surfing. After that I got out the RC stuff. It was time to finish the Chevy.
The steering servo had to be replaced. It turned out to be easier than I thought. I got the old servo out without much trouble. Then I took an old servo arm out to the garage and used the Dremel to shape it into one that would fit the Chevy. Then I went back to the house and put everything back together. Finally I remounted the ESC and receiver and dressed up all of the wires. That went well too and everything worked perfectly when I was done. The only thing left to do is install the magnetic wire connectors that I ordered.
The Chevy had gone so smoothly that I decided to replace the axles in the Mojave GROM. That didn't go anywhere near as well. I had to cut all four plastic hexes off with the Dremel. It was hard, messy, and a pain in the ass. When I was putting things back together one bearing fell on the floor. I had to crawl around for a while to find it. It's now like the Chevy - install the magnetic wire connectors and it's done.
I did some more work on the spare bedroom. I cleaned up the closet so they will have a place for clothes. I also put away a lot of the stuff on the bed. There's a lot more to do, but it's manageable. I got out the instruction folder so I could reorganize it. However, I decided to watch a few videos first. That turned into a nap. When I woke up I didn't want to do anything more except watch football for the rest of the day.
