Thanks to all that replied. The reason that I have not taken any pictures is that it would mean that I would have to straighten up the shop and put things away. But if i do that i probably would not remember were I put them, that's the problem with a 83 year old brain😂
Dave B, sorry the Ford is a family possession and will be pasted on to the motor head grandsons. I hope that they don't kill it🤞
Anyone is welcome to visit ( Long Island, NY)

Great photos of all the work shops/spaces. I wish my work bench was as organized as some and than again mine looks like a tornado came thru when I am in the middle of a project.
I am very fortunate to have 2 separate car garages attached to the house, one is 10x20feet and the adjoining one is 16x24feet. Both are heated and air conditioned. the smaller one is used for a small portable spray both vented to outside, computer area, heavy duty work bench with metal fabricating benders and presses.
The larger one has a 4-post drive on car lift which I store my 1940 Ford coupe when when I work on it or just storge. Leaves plenty on floor room when it is up. Also contains my metal working shop with a Bridgeport mill, Southbend lathe, drill presses, grinders, sanders, air compressor, storage, and most importantly my model making area for both boats and 1/4 scale R/C controlled trucks and trailers.

Chum444, I think I must add a qualifier to your statement about the fact that the Flysky radio's don't work on more than 3 channels or have mixing functions. I think this may only be true for the 3 channel pistol grips because the FS-i6X and FS-ST8 and other upper range receivers certainly do.
You can not beat Flysky for quality for the buck. I use them for my boats as well as my 1/14 scale trucks

another thing to consider is customer support. In my experience there is almost no support from Spectrum, I have stopped using them and usually use Flysky and HobbyWing. Just my experience. Len

As Lew is well aware it is not necessarily the height of the water that really counts, within reason of course. Just a few inches of water can ruin the flooring and cause damage to the walls and any thing sitting on the floor making it necessary to remove the water damaged areas of the walls along with the insulation to prevent mold.

Good news Roy. I know how you feel from experience. They don't want you to drive for a while (can't remember for how long) because they don't want you to damage your healing eye in case of a sudden stop.
Also you may thing about removing the lens of your glasses on the side that was just operated on.

let us know how you make out finding a wider center dead spot. I like the way you can easily tune the Hobbywing ESC using their program card.

Just to add something to help tune/adjust an ESC is get a programming card or programming device to tune or easily setup your ESC. It sure make this a easier thing then retrying to keeps track of the number of beeps or flashing light.
