I made this hump thingy for my track today from some repurposed steel and some wood. It's very heavy and strong. It can work as a bridge or just a big hump. I tried it as a bridge. I thought it would be hard to drive because of the visibility but when I stand here it's fine to drive through. If I stand on the bank where I have stood before then it's not good. I want to make a small driver's stand where I'm standing in this video. The sun will get in my eyes sometimes but I can always move to the bank if I feel like it. The video was shot at 22:00 in the evening so that's why it's darker than usual.

When the Kyosho Raider arrived it was crowned the beginner car of the year twice. I have a Raider Pro, which is the same car except for a different body, and wanted to compare it to the Grasshopper on my track. The Hornet would have been a better comparison since it cost the same as the Raider, but I don't have one. It's probably also junk compared to a Raider.
I hope Kyosho rereleases the cheap Raider as it's still a great beginner car that could almost keep up with competition cars with upgraded shocks and motor.

Trying my little AS350 outdoors for the first time. 6G mode because I forgot how to change to 3D mode. I figured it out again on the next pack and did a couple of messy flips, but no crashes. It's a little too sensitive around the center in 3D mode for my liking, but I'll get used ot it.

A new onboard video from my EL-39 flying over Senja in northern Norway.
Foxeer Legend 2 camera.
If you're new to my channel, this jet is almost completely 3D printed, including the EDF unit and landing gear.
Length: 1858,5 mm
Wingspan: 1451 mm
All up weight: 7,5 kg
The STL files can be purchased here:

Running my two 3D printed buggies for 4 minutes. How many laps did each
do? I keep losing count. lol
Both cars are printed from regular PLA except for the body and the wing. The bodies are LW-PLA and the wings are PP. Both cars are runing 13.5T sensored brushless setups on the same 2S shorty lipo. I did not charge the lipo before running the badger. It's on the same charge cycle as I ran the Mk Ultra on.
3D printable files for each:

Disclaimer: The HUD speedo is showing too much. I have to calibrate it. It's just a way to show the acceleration so don't fret about the speed limit. This car is slow so don't laugh too hard at the performance... ok laugh if you want, but it's a 3l/100 km car and is my daily. Also, all tests were done in Mexico as this kind of extreme power isn't legal here /sarcasm because it's probably just up to the hp it's supposed to be.
I decided to try making an electric supercharger last year but the car I was going to test it on became unavailable so I figured I'd try compound boosting my Volvo 1.6D. It has a tiny turbo so I had to really restrict the supercharger with a converging coupler but it actually works. Because of the successful proof of concept I will try it on a Honda CRV later. It should be a much better fit for that NA engine. Hopefully we can find a tuneable ECU, but if not then it's probably not going to create enough boost to damage anything.
