Lost track of just how small it is getting

Watching Mad Money and just learned something about computer chips that seemed worth repeating. A millimeter is aprox. .039" and a nanometer is .000039". Human hair is aprox. 50,800 nanometers, the smallest bacteria is 50 nanometers. the smallest virus is 20 nanometers. Intels chip circuits are 3 nanometers. I'm just getting too old, I can't seem to comprehend that.

Tell about it, I order a chip to make a 12 to 18v converter and it was so small, I ruined it by breaking of several leads trying to use it, so I order some samples from another source and they were even smaller, They're still in the bag and in storage, no way can I use them until I get a microscope to work under :angry::blink:

I did get a 12 to 60 volt converter working so I can drive some 10Watt LEDs, but I blew them up and have more ordered, hope I get them and have it working for jamboree

      Has anyone installed the magnum tuning chip? Is it worth it? Noticeable difference? I have a 2021 Axis 500.

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      I got an old 2003 Arctic Cat 375 Auto, and just bought a 2008 AC 650 side by side. Got a new starter, solenoid, and battery for the 650. Gonna change the crankcase oil and filter while I'm at it.
      Anything I oughta watch out for from them that's done the starter/solenoid on this model?
      Don't have a manual yet for the 650. Any recommendations for oil weight/grade?
      Thanks.

      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.
