Today I was mostly 3d printing polycarbonate Meteor gears .

Three years + and still running ,my longest thread , must be longer than winning an argument with my wife
While I'm here what are people's impressions on Fan RC replica RC10 Gold shocks ?

I guess it really depends on how much load you put them under , if you use a 10.5 brush less motor on lipo batteries then no they won't last long but if your running a 21t brushed motor on 7.2 NiMH then you'll get a reasonable life out of them . I have some Yokomo 834b gears printed by Shapeways in ...

Last piece of the puzzle, motor plate/gearbox brace , I found a little time to make it today .

Found a cool old wing to finish off the runner body and an old Demon motor I thought was toast but it turned out it was a bad brush and brush spring , also swapped out the 12t pinion for a 14t and it runs very nicely now with the motor still only warm after 5 min . Last thing to do now will be the g...

Just took her out for a first test drive , shock oil is too thick at the rear but still a pleasure , not very fast but it's the stock Mabuchi 540 white end that came with the kit , a small pinion too maybe 13t ? and only Nimh 7.2v battery .
