Two fingers on both, but four fingers on the clutch when I'm stopped at traffic lights.

You mentioned kicking the shifter, it should never be that hard to shift, apply a little presure up on the shift lever, dip the throttle to ease the pressure on the gears while pulling a little harder on the shift lever, it should slip into the next gear like butter.

Is there a big enough market in the US to make sense of opening another factory there?

Nice, your own design? I've always had plans on the back burner to mold my own outta silicone.

I wonder what the accident statistics are outside of the T.T.

diy buggy (sh.itjust.works)
 

Been a few months of on/off designing and printing, but it's on four wheels now (the correct offside rear is being printed right now) still loads to do, the temporary diff is too low, leading to the axles falling out and the tyco bandit inspired body is no where near fitting yet.

So I knew the gearing was too long for the larger tyres, new gears on the way, I expected the motor would die from the abuse/heat (the 3d printed motor mount was certainly feeling the heat!) however it hadn't died after 3 or 4 battery pack, so I went for a high speed run, on the plus side it went straight, also on the plus side we get to replace the 20+ year old esc! downside I have to lend little TerraRoot one of my RC's until his parts get here doughtnut video

Cracked the 3mm ball joint out of it, testing it by sending it down playground slides, thought the link would break first but I seem to have over engineered that.

Threw some electronics in it, battery just fits between servo and diff, and it's a roller! Handles nicely on the kitchen floor, more strenuous testing soon.

 

But don't mix steroids and ritalin, that was an interesting 22 hours.

Stopped for a stretch and a photo, odd she didn't idle, but what harm, 30 years old, nope she had broke down right here, got her going again, no go again next vilage, thinking it's the enforced winter slumber, rode home hard, 240kmh, 13krpm in 5th (not enought space for 6th) and pulled in home and idled like nothing ever went wrong.

Had some left over rc junk, challenged myself to make it go without my usual over designing/thinking/planning procrastinating until I never even start. happy how it turned out! reminds me of a tyco bandit, probably shorten v2 even more and stick that bandit body on.

So my buddy is selling this, it's been sitting 20 years, engine turns over, been stored dry, but plenty of corrosion. Six thousand km on the clock and it's probably true. Tell me I don't want a finicky 250 bhp/ltr explosive powerband impractical smells great does something funny in my pants purple two stroke. I am struggling so hard not to.

 

Little terraroot decided the paint scheme, I had to limit him to three as he wanted every can in the shed, he didn't do too bad!

Found some nicer bodies, learning some blender as I go

D12 printed body (sh.itjust.works)
 

Well, stuck it on, little chassis "cage" fits great, think I'll add some more detail to that and release it, clips and so on, since I lost the hardware to fit the orignal body ha.

Also fiat abarth 131 rally spec ought to look nice with those wheels. or an escort mk2. next!
