      @John Boy's RC honestly I have wanted to get into the hobby for years. Just have a lot going on on the home front so the cost has been and is at the moment an unnecessary indulgence. Got to put my kids and family first, however I love watching every video that Kevin puts out. This guy is fantastic and I can't even begin to comprehend how anyone could hate on him.

    Hey Kev! I really like the videos where you find old discontinued rcs, and I’d really recommend finding a losi muggy, they’re originally nitro with a high torque engine, very tough buggers, and very fun. I’ve upgraded diffs and drivetrain on one and pushed it to 8s lol

      @@derekhobbs1102 yeah they were tempered back then. Especially in Europe but Now windshields are two pieces of regular glass with clear nylon plastic sandwiched between them. One so you still have glass. That’s why you get rock chips or cracks in windshield. It’s called AS1 level safety glass where as tempered glass on drivers doors and rear glass is AS2 because you still need protection from the windshield at speed instead of a face full of gravel sized pieces of glass.

      @@KevinTalbotTV No, aluminum isn't like steel, it doesn't lose its "temper"
      You don't have to get it cherry red either, just "too hot to touch" is enough.
      If you have a propane torch that's enough.
      If you watch guys who rebuild wrecked ferraris they use this method a LOT when straightening bent aluminum pieces.
      I wouldn't do this on a lower control arm, but for a 1/8" thick piece for an R/C? no prob.
      You have to worry about melting the plastic stuff bolted to it, aluminum wicks heat really easily. Keep a water bottle handy.

    Nothing wrong with knocking stuff out with a hammer, but a bench top press makes it quicker and easier plus you can use it for other things that come up.
    Also heating the chassis will help when trying to bend it back.

  • @muskokamike127
    @muskokamike127 Před rokem +5

    1:00 to straighten stuff like that, get yourself a steel L channel and a c clamp. Line them up and put the clamp between the bent part and the L. If you need to "over straighten" you can put some spacers on the ends so the middle tightens more. you can use that for chassis too. (kind of like when you put it in a vise and tighten it down). It works great for things that you can put in a vise.
