Rats. I was waiting for these to come back in stock because I wanted a blue 480T for this build, but they're now showing discontinued - https://kyoshoamerica.com/37033.html#catalog-product-description-additional

Looks like they're wifi only, no ethernet. That's a no-go for my company, unfortunately. We had an UM3 running on wifi for a bit but they got mad about it and, of course, you couldn't set a static ip on it, so that one nobody uses because you need to bring in a usb drive.

How easy are these printers to network? Do you have to drive them over octoprint?

At my company we have a couple of older Ultimaker 2 Extendeds that have a lot of hours on them and we've been debating replacing them. The new Ultimakers are really nice, but I'm wondering how these stack up.

I don't think I'm ever going to find the time to get back into modelling a whole new chassis for this project so I'm abandoning that path and going back to where this started, which was piecing together an independent front suspension setup from Turbo Rocky parts. But complicated, of course. BTW, if...

So far my Rocky has held up to brushless power with the Le Mans 19.5 running on driveways and tennis courts with dirt oval tires. The gears are 32 pitch so pretty tough. It's the metal beveled diff gears with the outdrive splines I'm most concerned about. Those seem to be pewter or some other soft m...

As I'm iterating to finalize the design, I'm starting to think about how to configure this in a way/ways others are most likely to use. V1 was designed around the TLR 22 4.0/LXT geometry because my Pro SE has the Jammin Jay Steering Enhancement Kit which came with the larger LXT uprights. I presume ...

The Quad/Dirt Bike groups on FB got intolerable for a bit because there were so many "waffles" where people were trying to get $8000 for a clapped $2000 dirt bike.

If you decide to put money into it, Kyosho recently started a retro styled Le Mans brushless motor series. Not cheap, but pretty sharp. I've been putting them in all my retro Kyosho builds on principle. LE MANS 480 GOLD Brushless Motor 21.5T LE MANS 240S Brushless Motor 19.5T LE MANS 480T Brushless2...

Thanks for all this! To be sure, I'm not hoping to retire should I find a buyer! Just curious to learn about it. This one has been sitting in a box in the basement for 40 years. I enjoyed building it then probably only ran it outside a half dozen times at most, including last weekend to see if it s...

And so in the interest of getting to 30 posts(!), let me see if I can pick a few brains to figure out what I have here. I saw just one ad on ebay for a Rocky - actually it's for a pair of Rockys - and the seller is asking $1089. Is there something quite so special about this model? It looks to me y...

Finally got my 3Dprinters up and running and also found time to get back to working on an RC project. I took some time to alter my upright design to accommodate the Aluminum 22 2.0 spindles. Apologies the pictures didn't come out the greatest. I had to offset the upper camber link back to clear the ...

Something I tried to explore was a yokomo axle that is 60.5mm. Unfortunately, none of the wheels shafts would fit the Rocky hubs right. Yokomo offered a wheel shaft in aluminum, which would be neat. But unless the yokomo CV joint is compatible with something else, this is a dead end. yokz2-010rb_1.j...

As cas22 mentioned above and verified: the Tamiya outdrives, part number OP-218, can be substituted for the RK-21 outdrives. When I first put mine together before making the CV post, I noticed a slight binding as it felt like a spline would catch something, but it's not an issue now. I've done some ...

If you're wanting to ditch your JIS plastic thread hardware for hex drive but don't want to thread M3 machine screws into all the plastic holes, which runs the risk of stressing the screw holes, Axial has a variety of fasteners in M3 and the elusive M2.6 Kyosho has a lot of M3 as well, but the butto...
