RC birthday car parts milled up and running. Pixel helped.

Garrick's birthday RC cars for some fun. Rear shock tower broke on one of the cars. I milled up a new one in aluminium 'cus replacement parts weren't due to arrive 'till after Garrick left to go home. It worked great. Spare parts arrived later. They're ready if the other car breaks next visit.

MJX 16210 and MJX 16207. Serious 1/16th scale 4wd machines. Power/weight ratio with modern brushless motors and lipo batteries with Electronic Speed Controllers is absolutely bonkers. Puts the old 1/10th Tamiya stuff with resistor speed control on brushed motors with NiCads to shame. Those ESC's were well over ~$250.aud when I was 17. Now they're a few bucks.
