Re: [MBZ] OT: Electric plane crash

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

I usually guess at it. My charger does have a storage charge setting, I don’t 
always have someone available to make sure it is on the right setting. If the 
battery takes an hour and a half to charge, I will just charge it 55 minutes or 
so. That usually works.

I use LiPo battery packs in my RC trucks. They provide smoother power and 
explosive acceleration! They do require a bit of a routine. They must never sit 
unused for very long when fully charged, and they need to be kept at around 60% 
charge for storage.

Re: [MBZ] What do you think of this 1987 Mercedes 300TD Wagon 1 OWNER

Since he didn’t actually say “I am the original owner, “I am thinking the 
latter. So actually, it would be a two owner car. Also, no mention of mileage 
though it may be in the pictures?

Re: [MBZ] This is Sort of Tempting

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

The Finny project seemed like quite a fun and rewarding project! It was quite 
enjoyable to follow along as it progressed. How much would you value your total 
with purchase price, parts and time to improve it to present condition? I get 
the same enjoyment in my RC car hobby with building up projects to running 
condition and selling them and using the funds to build another. 
Good luck with the sale, and also finding your next one!!

Re: [MBZ] OT small victories

None of my 1/5 scale RC 2-stroke gas RC  car engines have carbs with tamper 
proof screws, just slotted type screws. Of course, the carbs cost half the 
price of a cheap weed whacker. As long as I run it dry or clamp the fuel line 
shut after a run, they start right up the next time out.

Re: [MBZ] New car day +2

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

At speed, you can hardly hear the engine in my 2015 Beetle TDI! We found the 
speedo over 100mph without even realizing it. It lead to a speeding ticket on 
the trip home from purchasing it in Houston. It has been dubbed “The Speedle.”

Re: [MBZ] OT: rechargeable stick vacuum cleaner

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

The thing I really like about our central vacuum is that it exhausts outside 
the house! It is a bit of a chore dealing with a hose, but I am OK with that. I 
had an issue where my powerhead clogged up with dog hair that got sucked up 
behind a napkin which got stuck in the pivot point on the powerhead just below 
where the wand connects, and I had to blow it all out from the top with the 
shop vac which was a bit ugly but did the trick!

1976 Mercedes SL450 diesel

condition: good 
cylinders: 5 cylinders 
drive: rwd 
fuel: diesel 
odometer: 10 
title status: clean 
transmission: manual 
type: convertible

I have a 1976 Mercedes 450 SL, we converted installed 5cyl Mercedes diesel in 
it. Drove it for while and was not satisfied with the auto transmission -- 
replaced it with four speed Mercedes transmission, installed clutch. The car is 
completed -- but I have not completed the final minor things --- The brakes 
need to be checked, since the car has been sitting for about a year. We do 
start it once in a while for lubrication. 
No cross members or structural changes was needed for the engine or trans swap.
The car has both tops, I have never taken off the hard top --- so the soft top 
is still tucked in. the body is in good shape, the rust is not an issue. I 
still have the gas engine with the transmission and the auto trans for the 
diesel --- you can have them if wanted. 
We are asking $5K for the car, it will make a great commuter car.
If you have questions contact Sam.

very good shape. Engine runs well and has no issues. gas gauge does not 
operate. that is about the only mechanical issue. The car does need a paint job 
to make it shine. a little TLC will have this car ready for another 100k miles.

I didn’t buy the E300D. I didn’t have any drivers to pick it up yesterday. The 
seller has a dishonest reputation on Craigslist, so I’ll pass.

It has never happened to me with a real car, but I have had a wheel come loose 
on one of my RC cars, shoulda put some thread lock on that one. The wheel was 
found, but the nut was gone.

[MBZ] OT 2000 Dodge Durango question

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

Today, I bought a 2000 Dodge Durango with Carfax verified 43,000 miles on it, 
5.2 L V8 engine. I found something very interesting going on. It will not crank 
at all unless the light switch is turned one click to the right, just before 
the position to turn on the lights. I have never heard of this happening 
before. It is as if the starter circuit has been wired into the light switch.

Re: [MBZ] OT Induction cook top

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

What brand of induction cooktop did you purchase? I am thinking about 
purchasing in induction cooktop, but I would like one that has knobs rather 
than a touch panel with a display that is hard to see. I really like the 
adaptive technology since the surface is  not hot when the burners are turned 
off.

My dad and I had a 1962 Corvair Monza Convertible and a 1964 Greenbrier van, 
both unrestored in drivable condition. we drove both of them all around Central 
Oregon. The only problem we ever had with either one was the spline on one of 
the rear axles on the Convertible which wore out. Fun times!!

Re: [MBZ] OT: Is Amazon slow for everybody?

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

My understanding has always been that the business has to pay the extra three 
percent or so processing charge whether it was a debit or a credit card 
transaction, and that the only way this could be avoided is to pay in  cash. 
This is how it is at my local hobby shop since he always encourages us to make 
our bigger purchases in cash rather than credit or debit cards.
