HOW TO Add back lighting to the Duratrax Ice DC Charger.
First. The Disclaimer: Don’t try this at home. I’m a professional working in controlled environment. I know what I’m doing. I never make mistakes, should I do some I always hide the witnesses bodies. This document shows how I added back light to MY Duratrax Ice Charger. Its not meant as a guide to follow. Should you decide to do something similar to your own charger you do it on your own and carry full responsibility yourself for your actions. Doing this modification will void your warranty. It is likely to destroy the charger and might be dangerous to your health. It will make your grow older by a full year in the next 365 days, make your hair fall off and make teenagers call you The Old Man and be embarrassed to be seen in your company. The last one may have already happened, depending on your age and family situation.

Villian Boat Project November 13, 2003
Posted by Shannon in : R/C Projects , add a commentOne day I was surfing the net, finding out about Tunnel Hulls. I stumbled upon the Precision Boats website, and it all started from there. Tim Fulton of precision boats had me convinced that it was best to stray away from the quick and easy ABS plastic Tunnel Hull kits out there, and get a “Real†boat. An all wood kit. At first, I was a little intimidated. It sounded like a lot of work. But if you want the best, the time invested would be worth it.
Since then, I have acquired the engine from eBay, but the option of buying the thunder tiger outboard was always out there, and me being the type who likes to “fix†things, I figured I would buy some used stuff. BAD IDEA! Don’t waste your time buying used stuff from eBay. You will save yourself serious cash in the end if you buy your engine new, I think. Thunder Tiger outboard all the way.
So I ended up buying the kit, and here’s the story on putting one together. To start with, I am the kid in school who never listened, so following instructions to the “T†was never my bag. This article will emphasize the most important points of assembling a Villain S1, and if you follow the included instructions as they are written, it is almost impossible to screw it up. If you want to rush through it, I can give you a few hints and help you get ready before you order it so you know what you need. Just be careful if you order it from Precision Boats, because if you order it from them, it will be on your doorstep before you got to the hobby store to buy your glue.
