Called the RUF SCR 2018 it is a stunner. More power, less weight, more driving safety and 4 liter naturally aspirated engine that have 510 hp, all wrapped in a classic Porsche 911 shape. Yes please. Their goal with the SCR 2018 is to create a “unique state-of-the-art sports car for experienced connoisseurs and sports riders who do not want to miss the furioso of a naturally aspirated symphony”. The carbon fiber monocoque is further reinforced by the integrated steel cage (IRC), pushrod suspension on all four wheels corresponds to the chassis of the Formula 1, and in the middle of the works more as a 500 hp six-cylinder engine with full four liters of displacement. Ready to drive, the new SCR weighs less than 1300 kilograms; The timeless and elegant body is made of a fantastically lightweight, solid composite material: carbon fiber.

Dual-Motors (one at the front axle and one at the rear) 4WD: The K50 with permanent magnet synchronous motor has three driving modes: Adaptive/Sport/Boost. You can switch flexibly to meet various driving situations such as daily travel and extreme driving. The extremely dynamic overclocking mode release 320KW of ultimate power, and the full-time four-wheel drive creates a driving experience with full back support.

The new RED AXS road power meter comes in three chainring sizes, plus two aero sizes (these are pre-bolted/integrated for more ‘aeroness’). In addition, there’s the 1x variants.

The bigger crime is the 10t gear. You don’t need 35mph of gearing for gravel. With 12 gears, what do you need 2x for on a bike that can’t use the top end speed and aren’t worried about .5lb of weight? You’re better off in that scenario using a 1×12 with a 10-42 cassette. You’ll have more reliability, less bouncy chain, better shifting, etc. I get 6mph to 28mph on 10sp 42t x 12-34 in nice steps. Weight is the same as 2×10 11-28 and wheel weight near the hub is no big deal.

– Adding voltage output for battery: This is primarily a service related item, but can be useful for better determining actual battery life left.

Koch added that the number of gripper tool changes (compared to previous lifting methods) at the plasma table fell by 25 percent. And the number of hoists overall, for both the brake and plasma system, has fallen by about 24 percent.

Whenever the Greenworks Pro refused to oil, it was another puzzlement. With the tank half full and all of the oiler holes clean, it still wouldn’t pump oil out to the chain, though a lot of dripping oil was evident at the back of the bar. I finally discovered that the oil would only feed properly with the tank all the way full. So even if its tank has oil inside, this saw requires the extra step of checking frequently if it’s still oiling.

We brought in Matt and Richard Kent of Kent Made, LLC along with Jon Bucklew from Seventeen20 Modern Furnishings as our resident table saw experts to offer their insight as to the most important features and performance indicators. Matt and Richard do a lot of fine custom carpentry on site while Jon runs a shop-based business.

That boost in welding capacity has opened up more possibilities for further efficiencies. They include the welding of small components that go onto subplates that hold small parts, like base plates and risers. (Base plates hold the receivers that in turn hold the load cell. Risers serve the same function but also can elevate the scale module when needed.)

Following the traditional design—perhaps blindly—of gas chainsaws that need to idle and rev, the DeWalt 40V Max, Echo, and Greenworks Digi Pro saws feature variable speed triggers. The smoothest cutting is done at the highest chain speed, even for small limbs, so I’m not sure of the utility of this feature on electric saws.

Call it entropy or thermodynamics. Like all things in nature, most things want to go back to their natural state. The iron from the ore seeks to release the energy that was put into it during the manufacturing process and return to being an ore. This time around, it will not end up in the ground; it will end up in the gutter or on your shop floor as flakey rust.

This has been my point to GM lovers everywhere, and I am a GM lover. BUT Toyota simply handle there issues. If they know of a faulty part they fix it no questions asked. No madder the title or the original owner they fix there vehicles for there customers if it is a known issue. I have relatives who have switched to Tundra pickup and they handle it. Now I know you can go to Toyota sites and see unsatisfied customers but what are the issues. On average not a well known problem. If you go to ANY GM social media site and they are bombarded with dissatisfaction. Its the truth check it out for yourself.
