Looks nice, but I'm not getting near it after it's been sitting in the summer sun. Also, where's the matching helicopter?

Maybe it's just my novel perspective, but the first thing I thought when I saw that pic was, and it's not to be vulgar or anything, but the first that I thought was, That's a really big tampon. I would be supremely impressed if that cut-rate ICBM could defeat all of the defenses of an entire...

I'd imagine, a M809 series hauling a mobile kitchen, which is in turn hauling a pair of MEP-002s, which is in turn hauling a water buffalo... will get you noticed by the people with the pretty red and blue lights on the tops of their cars. Still be fun to see. :-D Food, water, power, OH! And...

Which is easier? For mods to delete posts advertizing auctions, or for members to read the rules and desist from posting them?

Now get a black cargo cover and a bunch of friends with black BDUs. Roll up on a militia meeting and watch sphincters pucker as the "NWO soldiers" pour out the back. rofl

I'd have laid down a condition on that test, Rich, that the battery be removed from the truck, faaaaar from the truck, and from me to. If they insist on testing without protective gear, that's their problem. :cookoo: They have no right to risk you or your property with a manifest danger.

I wasn't delusional. I was not implying that a DC-DC converter would act as a motor-generator. I was thinking more in terms of a Maximum Power Point Tracker to level out the VAs coming from the wind-driven 400Hz genhead, rectified before applying even charging voltage with variable current to...

I've often wondered if a good use for 400Hz genheads might be sticking a set of wind turbine blades on it and sticking it way up on a pole. (With proper braking and governing, of course.) The power coming from the genhead wouldn't be 400Hz, but it wouldn't be 60Hz either. Just rectify it...

Google Maps now disavows all knowledge of Rossokha, Ukraine, so I can't find that Parking Lot of the ****ed anymore.

I like the reasoning represented in dc3coyote's avatar. "You'll learn to love my hobby... when the zombies come." And like BLK-HMMWV in his own inimitable way tried to say, it's an investment. When nothing else will run, a military diesel will. Transport of goods back to the homestead you...

Been watching through the Xtreme 4x4 eps this season and at about 12:50 here Powerblock TV: Xtreme 4x4 your friend and mine, Ian, dropped a four wheel hydraulic steer into the Budget Buggy, but then, it's a rock crawler powered by a Honda Acura engine.

Whatchu need all dem tooth picks fer?

Nah, you're not. I want my 10 minutes back.

For the longest time, I thought the Baby HEMMT project on here was just adding a second front steering axle to a traditional 6x6x2, to make it an 8x8x4, and I was excited to see how he would link the steering between the two front axles to keep from squealing tires or snapping linkages and was...

And save $20, because that's what the Army licensure adds to the price over a 29 LTD Classic.

So... I guess he's not going to find Soni's "missing" M818 now, huh? Was there ever a resolution on that? http://myworld.ebay.com/moneynmore/ Moneynmore is defunct and hasn't had any items for sale since the first week of April.

Where are all the good Capitalists? The federal government needs to license the RealTree(TM) patterns... even for winter patterns... and desert patterns... and even for naval vessels! Somali Pirate 1: Hey! What is that? Is that a US Navy ship about to fire anti-ship missiles up our keesters...

I hacked this together because I was bored. I wish I could have CAD'ed it, but I just mutilated one of the CAD renderings of the 1:10 scale R/C axle from RC4WD instead. RC4WD - The Ultimate RC Products Okay, what is this supposed to depict? A tandem steering ram mounted to flanges welded to the...

Jesusgatos: Even after I pulled up the Billavistas Tech Article, the images below 403 on me. *shrug* I think a redundant system with steering wheel -> steering shaft -> hydraulic steering pumps -> hydraulic lines -> tandem ram -> tie rods qualifies as a direct, mechanical linkage. Replace the...

Cat Savior: Even after recovering my Pirate 4x4 account and logging in, when I click on those P4x4 links, I get 403s with a side order of 404. Is there anything you need to do to fix that, or is Pirate being a scallywag? I've seen more hydraulics used at hydrostatic drive systems in...
