Sup everyone. Racecar building/engine assembly/welder and hopefully soon to be roll cage builder. Way things are going it looks like it’ll be more armor than roll cages but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good shit. Glad to have you with us

Back to drones for a min. Def stay away from DJI. They control where you fly and track everything. Ready made rc sells everything you need to roll your own. Also check out tiny woop. They fit in the palm of your hand and have a camera that transmits to a video receiver. Also it’s not the motors that are noisy it’s the props. DJI props are about as quiet as you can get but still sound like bees. There are some pretty cheap bad ass planes that have long range and good cameras and can glide pretty far. Rmrc sells all that

The other big companies are FPV and surprisingly Amazon sells a ton for decently cheap

Does anybody else's 2A budget have any competition?

Im going to be spending money on my car soon, but thats just an unfortunate side effect of being a car guy

I feel the pain

I know how to work on any Chrysler vehicle and cummins stuff im a certified FCA tech

Dank

I’m a industrial compressor and engine mechanic

I work on fords in my spare time

I'm a GM certified master tech but i left that because if its not a pushrod V8 it was trash and i hated warranty, so i work on european/exotic shit now

American motors went to junk there for a while

The newer gassers seem to be a ton better

Here I am, picking up a Discovery 1.... aka : the only reliable land rover...

@IA that looks like a good how to. I'll have to check it out later

So what shtf vehicles are y’all working on

Wife and I are looking at purchasing either a small transit bus or a box truck to turn into a mobile bugout home.

Very nice

I’m working on an old 83 bronco right now

Debating on the fuel system

I have a 650 carb sitting in the garage I can throw on it for free but I kinda want a EFI replacement

i really want a fj70 troop hauler

That would be sweet

Those are goofy looking but they do their job well

there was 2 for sale on craigs for under 30 grand but i aint got that money

Oof

I picked up my bronco for 800 bucks lmao

nice

I put a battery in it and drove it up on to my trailer

The guy I bought it from was pretty upset, he had it for 4 years and could get it to run
