Check out this dyno i made for tuning RC trucks. It really helps when the thing is not blasting away at 40mph while you are trying to check the smoke levels!
YouTube - HPI savage on the dyno
My stupid truck broke the starter pin thing so it wont start. I fixed it once, but broke the heads off those tiny allen bolts that hold the starter thing on. I glued them in so its not going to be easy to fix! Damn rc trucks are a ton of work to keep running!

Heading out tomorrow afternoon. My buddy is already out there in his RV. We'll be off Wheeler rd at mile 2.5.
If anyone wants to hook up for a run on Saturday shoot me a PM for my #. I'll have my Slash and at least one crawler.
