P1000m5 Adam490's Short Bus

[joeymt33]

Thanks guys. I've got a few different mounts coming to try

With the windshield off I like it mounted to the rollbar at the very front so that it’s easy to reach. I keep it just left of my rear view mirror

Mines mounted on the front bumper , does have a bit of a vibration , tried to pad the mount I used and it helped a bit . Do think my 700 has more vibration in it inherently.

It's usually gonna have a bit more vibration with you driving wild man

Yeah that's why I bought the mount. I've got the remote on my steering wheel so I'm not really worried about where it's mounted

Do yourself a favor and change the password for the wifi to connect the app.
I lost connection to mine one weekend, I couldn't remember what the number was and connected to the first one I saw on my app. Turns out I was running @joeymt33 for a bit. I did wonder why I was seeing red on my machine and not silver.....

Changed the password last night, thanks for that. Also moved the mount up to the lower windshield where @joeymt33 has his and my video was much better on my romp around the neighborhood.

Went for a ride around my dad's property the night before Thanksgiving. YouTube blocked my video from being shared because Fleetwood Mac was playing on my radio... So there's a few moments of silence where they scrubbed it out.

I love that brake! It’s great for winching out @snuffnwhisky and I don’t want to put strain on the parking mechanism.

Got more goodies in the mail today. Thanks @Hondasxs for the love note!

He’s never left me a note, he must think you’re extra special Adam.

You said it, lmao

Got the Hillbilly brake installed, took about 5 minutes. I should have bought one of these when I got the machine! Waiting on a few switches now

@joeymt33 check out these 1/24 scale Axial crawlers. I've got one in my cart as a present "for my daughter"

Axial SCX24 1/24 scale R/C Crawler

That’s pretty sweet

Local hobby shop actually had them sitting on the shelf when I went in to pick up some drone parts for a friend. Pretty cool little trucks! I ordered tires, wheels, brass steering knuckles, and brass diff covers already...

I've got a few planes as well, a Cub and a Beaver bush plane with pontoons on it. I've been into some form of R/C my entire life.

Enough about the toys, what tires are you putting on the Short Bus?

I can't decide. I put different tires in my cart on RMATV every night and get all the way to check out and change my mind! I'll drink enough beer soon enough to just seal the deal and finalize the order. Wanted to sell the Evo's before I pulled the trigger, but I'm not having much luck locally. I did have a nice gentleman offer me $275 on FB the other night, then when I told him I'd set them on fire in my yard before I'd sell them for that price he called me a "fag". Really leaning towards the Terra Hooks now that I've seen them on @Bad_bowtie ride. They look like they've got a little better contact patch than the TB's.
