I keep my Benjamin trail NP pistol in the garage which is where my trap is too. Here in PA that means its pretty cold right now. It seems like the first 5 or so shots are a little wild, then it starts driving tacks.
Is this common?

I have had this pistol for 30 some years. just started started shooting it again. All I ever did was plink and shoot some annoying rats.

Put a small scope on it and have been playing with it and another pistol in my basement at about 25'. Resting it on a clamp on a door frame i sent all ten through the bullseye in a group smaller than a dime. I am in shock. I've never shot anything close to that.

I wanted to fit "132" size motors in a Stryfe without cutting holes. I think there needs to be more room at the back end of the motors for multiple reasons so i Bulged the side. Album.

I made up 1/4" aluminum blocks a little bigger than the motors, stuck them on the ends and screwed the FWC et al in place. Using a hairdryer i heated the shell and gradually tightened the FWC screws to bulge the side of the shell out.

Works great, left the motor terminals straight, wired with 16 AWG wire and the additional 1/8" clearance is perfect.

I know the alu. blocks are rough, I banged them out the other night to see if this would work.

I also know that there is a d

I have used a hairdryer (not a heat gun) I do not remember who's suggestion this was a few months ago, to warm my flywheels to allow easier installation/removal.

With all of the talk about tight flywheels, flywheel reuse etc. I have not seen mention of this technique.

Does anyone know that this is a bad practice if done more than once or twice, or is the elasticity of the wheel materials not adversely affected by the heat?

Just plugged my pack into my RS and the motors (Hellcats) turned at a very low RPM. Disconected it and put a meter on it, my 3s pack was at 3.5 volts!!! I had left the low voltage alarm plugged in a few weeks ago. Not sure when the alarm went off, must have been one day when i was at work.

Guys, do not leave your Lipo pack connected to anything when you are not using them.

So I'm getting my hair cut last night and my barber, who collects toys and all kinds of other things, has some one sorting through some of his stuff and I asked do you ever run into NERF stuff? He says "All the time by the boxload real cheap".

I said I'll take whatever you find.

This should be interesting!

So last week our washing machine stopped working completely, had power, had water but would not do anything.

I was about to replace the water valve because the solenoids had no continuity, but they did show the same resistance so I looked elsewhere. There was a blown fuse up top behind the controls, (which by the way none of the online troubleshooting guides mention) so I jumped it with a piece of wire (temporarily) as It was a Sunday and any place that would have carried this fuse and was open was too far. Tested the machine, then threw in a load of wash. Halfway through filling the breaker tripped in the panel. Some research later... the lid switch which should never be bypassed is mad
