I see I'm not the only one that has way too many of these. I think my current mini count is 4 JRX2 and 3 JRXT.
Oh I plan to have 7 (or 8 but that 8th one is dumb lol) by the time I am done, one for each model based on the jrx2
I added a thin nut under my ball studs now the steering doesn't snag, whee.
The car looks so stock and entry level.. heh, I love how the threaded rod turned out
Edit, I kinda liked this perspective

Oh nice! I have been working on a xx buggy chassis to shrink to 16th scale myself. I was thinking of redesigning those bellcranks a bit to eliminate the bearings and servo saver when I shrunk them

I'm planning on changing the design a bit to try and emulate the worlds prototype's machined look. Should be stronger, too, since the machined style suits 3D printing better than the molded production parts. I did something similar with the steering knuckle and upright.
Once i get these parts modeled and scaled, I'll have to figure out where to locate the posts on the chassis. And then I can start printing!

Got in my new test subjects, they don't seem too willing but they have no choice! Muahahaha -evil scientist laughter-
The camera adds 10 layers of dirt to the dirty one heh.

I wanted to print some orange antenna mounts so um.. yeah
https://cults3d.com/:1327190
one slotted for easier antenna mounting.
...oops, used the 3d model I had made of the rc10 antenna mount before I adjusted the holes for antenna tube, was an easy fix.

Finally had time to figure out my solidworks issues and made up a non slipper spur gear that CLM was looking for.
Hoping the test print works out OK then I'll publish it.

I'm already planning on making a nonfunctional replica of it.

That should be easy enough making an outer slipper plate that resembles a hydra drive, I have faith in Rogue over there
Biggest issue actually might be the spur gear cover won't fit anymore, it should be easy enough to model up a mold for someone to vacuform a hydradrive gear cover however.

Mini SE is coming along well, it only has one steering post though the screw stripped trying to take one off one of the donors. I am in the process of printing rear hubs at the moment. Those front arms are a pain heh. I plan to print a grey retro case for it to match the lxt. I am also considering finding a machine shop that can machine me 4 sets of longer shock bodies and shafts... maybe heh.
Hopefully the jrxt wheels come in stock some day so I can get several sets, a chassis would be nice as well for the pro although I would be forced to reprofile it from the rather clunky shape Horizon produced. Finally got the ender 3 pro printing again, although not with the orange filiment, either something is whack in the center of the bed, or I have nonstick orange pla... the black is sticking fine though lol

Why not just use the jrxt shocks? They were the same size in the 1:10 versions
