Found this on the side of the road today. Some new wiring here and there, a little solder, and battery diagnosis and my 3 year old has a sweet ride. Has 4wd too. Sweet! I love road-finds - I grew up on them. When my dad would come home and pull a few bikes out of the back of the station wagon it'd be just like Christmas!

I love road-finds - I grew up on them. When my dad would come home and pull a few bikes out of the back of the station wagon it'd be just like Christmas! Yep, builds character. I happened to have a charger laying around that works on it too. My favorite road find was a kamado grill. It was cracked, but all the pieces were there. I had remember reading somewhere that you can patch those up with portland cement. So a trip to lowes and 10 bucks later I had the grill patched up. I got a 800 dollar grill for free and repaired it for 10 bucks. Still use that grill 5 years later. I never want to get rid of it, I love it. It is something I would have never tried or bought myself, but those are the best charcoal grills on the planet. Moral of the story, if you see a broken kamado style grill for free or extremely cheap, grab it up and fix it with portland cement. Have an awesome grill, or sell it for a couple hundred bucks profit.

why will it only let me post 1 pix? You need to do external image hosting and link them. You can just load the pics up on discord and use them here. There are tutorials on how to do it on here.

Not scratch building, but getting this thing going. Hope I don't kill anyone with it. LOL. It has 4 2507/1800kv motors and the very same 7056 props I use on the dragon. Should rip. If 2 will pull my heavier dragon vertical... 4 will do better.

I'm working on a twin motor boom conversion for my dolphin. I figured if they could do it for the drak, I could do it for the dolphin!
