Finally...A Lathe!!

After 3+ years in RC and abit less than 2 years in 1/10 scale, I finally got my own lathe...
I know people who have been in RC for less than 6 months and they got everything or more of what I owned...

This lathe, is from Eagle Racing...Quality wise its not as good as Hudy ones, but as long as it cuts its good...Got it for $80, what more can I ask? Haha...

Hudy lathes use a better lathe bit than the one I have now, hence it produces a slightly smoother finish...Oh well, I can always change the lathe bit, just that its expensive to get a diamond bit...

Had some problems when I lathed the first comm...The lathe bit stand was kinda shaky...I thought it was normal for such quality, but I was so wrong...There were afew grub screws where I can tighten the freeplay and etc...Wheee...Now its not shaky!!

At 4V input to the lathe, it draws around 2.4A...

Hmm...Probably I can start charging people for trueing their commutators...Haha...
The standard rate of $1 or 1 can drink would be nice...

The small demi-god of drift luck...

Why?

1. At Tampines HPI drift challenge, Kenny won me and he became 1st of the event...
2. At SGDrifters UP Challenge, Billy won me and he became 1st of the event...
3. TODAY, at Bigsplash...Charles won me and he became 1st of the event...

Win me, 99% chance getting top 3...
