NORWAY - PREPARATION


It's time now to prepare ourselfs for the Jotunheimen trip. And because I'd like to test snow conditions, today is perfect. So here I am, 17 kilos on my back and 11km to go. Lovely!

STARS?!

...see the shadow on the picture? The sun is out. And if there is a clear day, a clear night might follow. So there is a chance to test my prepared cam tonight and get some shots from the moon.

SNOW PREVENTION

ONE MORE HOT UP

You’ll never finish the task of tuning your RC car. After I did a couple of jump sessions by using a self made ramp I figured out that the oil shocks worked too softly. So I modified the rear shocks by exchanging the oil. I’m using viscosity 1200 and harder springs (reely) now.

At the front I just exchanged the springs by harder ones. The setup is much more robust now, though the setup is nearly too hard for flat terrains.
Let’s see what the next part will be that need’s a replacement…
