My machine shop has 5 of my heads sitting there....that's a first! ;D Been "massaging" a set of Golden Rods for the past 2 nights. The bolt heads need trimming and tuning etc. The bolts grab way before they bottom on the cap.....you can only wonder what that does for actual torque readings. They are getting there.

I think he just did! Two nights spent on those rods and they're still not ready to be trusted....at least for a certain JMR standard.

It must be spring break.  ;D

Thanks, Mike :D   I know how much you LOVE the old stuff! ::)  Hopefully I didn't ruin you regarding 'vintage' RC hipo parts....   You let me talk you into reinventing my old school big bore motor.   I told you I'm a bad influence.   Running and ducking....
