In this video i dig out some 7075 aluminum, fire up the mill and fabricate some heavier duty hinge pin braces for the Losi 5ive T and its many clones

Once again great video Brian your skills never cease to amaze me!!

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks Vance! Has it dried up yet enough to try your new Baja? Sure the hell hasn't here

[@kgm5512]

Nice machine work! Great to see your custom parts. You could always tap a hole off to the side of the pin hole to use a screw head to capture the pin, but if it’s not a problem…leave it!! Great part!

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks Kyle! At the rate its going weather wise around here, i'll never even get a chance to try it. Thanks for checking it out.

Awesome work that brace looks like it will withstand whatever abuse you put it through 👊💪🏻👍

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks Kong, and i admire your optimism lol! Thanks for checking it out

Another case of " if you want it done right" .... nice work, and looks like a nice tight tolerance on the holes hopefully won't wallow out to soon on yah . 💥💥👊🤘

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks Addict. I'm sure i'll discover a new "weak point" now. I just saw your Vekta run video and i love that 71cc

[@15scalercgarage76]

Great job Brian, u definitely know ur work👊🏻

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks buddy, i've been watching for some videos of your electric Vekta. I'm curious to see it run. Thanks for checking it out

[@Blue_Smoke_81780]

Nice came out sweet 🤙

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks JR, hopefully it defies my constant attempts to break it. Thanks for checking it out

[@jukkaovaskainen]

That brace is not going to break anymore! 👍

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Hey Jukka, apparently you haven't seen my driving videos,lol. Thanks for checking it out

[@dave.sanger1726]

On the brace, drill & tap a small hole next to the hole where the pin goes through, screw and washer will hole the pin from coming out .

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks for the tip Dave, beats searching the grass for a missing hinge pin lol. Thanks for checking it out

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Nice work, Brian👍🏼 i’ve had to do that myself with my 71 supreme, it kept snapping hinge, pen, braces in the rear so I made one out of steel and it’s been holding up🤙🏼💯

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Damn Ben, steel, that's the way to go with that engine!. Thanks for checking it out

[@SlickTrickRC]

Beefcake pin brace. Yeah I've found carbon fiber isn't so great on high stress spots. But useful for stifning and for looks. Block off plates. I was just thinking you could make custom hing pin braces to change the toe in..I personally don't like the look of 3% on a 1/5 scale.. but I'm a bit ocd for no good reason at times. 0:15

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Hey Wally, eliminating the toe in is the plan. I seriously doubt i'd notice the difference, especially since its usually upside down or barrel rolling on its way to upside down,lol. Thanks for checking it out buddy

[@SlickTrickRC]

@RCWalletVacuum bahaha. The toe in keeps the back wheel planted. But how much toe in, is the big question lol . There ya go flip king. Hey plenty of bloopers right. 😁✌️

[@RCRoads]

Wow my friend! That's the "Beef Master" front end. I think it should hold up just fine. Great job. 👍👍👌👌

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks buddy! I'm sure my crappy driving will find a different weak point,lol. Thanks for checking it out

[@RCRoads]

At least your able to make your own parts. Nice ones at that. @@RCWalletVacuum

[@RCWalletVacuum]

@@RCRoads Thanks buddy!

I think the rest of this month is all crap. Rain cool temperatures.
