The ST-1/917K was built with a dedicated remote control set, so I can hand the car to anyone so they can try during events. The remote is a crappy super cheap set, and may not be the best for this, and while everyone who got the car in hands complained about the remote, they also noted the chassis h...

Installed an old tablet to use Carvera Controller without using the laptop, so I can have access to the machine easily, without having to move the laptop. https://i.imgur.com/a5u5MbA.jpeg Yesterday, I launched one of the demo projects and I noticed that the machine is quite noisy during roughing ope...

The Makera Carvera Air arrived yesterday, about 3 months after the order... https://i.imgur.com/7JNM4nm.jpeg Had no time to unbox it yesterday, I did it today... https://i.imgur.com/8yvCtKB.jpeg After removing the protecting plastic, it looks like this... https://i.imgur.com/AkjEd3w.jpeg And a bit l...

Not exactly today, that was more during the long week-end we had here in France, but met again @TravelinTravis and @Trass in Belley for few days of RC vintage fun...

Another thing I did within the week-end was to print a TPU part. My daughter's car exhaust had an issue : the silent block (rubber) was broken, and the main exhaust tube detached itself from the collector. I had to find a temporary solution until we get the replacement parts (silent block and conne...

The 917K required some colors... I thought about red/white, green purple and blue orange, and that's the last one I chose...

Normally, the 917K should be ready for Belley

The Zerda ran at Montluçon few weeks ago. But it was with the main belt longer than what was required, with adjustment of the tightener rollers diameter to make it fit. The proper belt arrived the day before Montluçon, and I had no chance to change it before the event or during the event. I decided ...

It's a bit too hot right now to do something else, so I finalized the 917K and published it. Again same process than for the others was applied... https://i.imgur.com/yEwKH89.png https://i.imgur.com/uK5boO1.png The accessories for the Delta Plastik Porsche 917K (available at Mantua Models) are now p...

That's a nice haul. The silver chassis Jet is the basic model. Although yours looks to have better shocks on the rear. The Golden chassis Jet is the Pro version. There's also a third version which is an evolution of the Pro with a black G10 saddle pack chassis and some other upgrades. Thanks for th...

Finalizing the files takes time.
