To big to get this in the post, picked up a "free" display cabinet 2.5m wide. It was bloody heavy and didn't fit in the trailer but managed to get it home with some overhang.

An opportunity for a cheap chassis last week I discuss myself about taking it or not for a few day, and finally decided to get it... It was not really expensive anyway, and althought there is some damage on it, I know that I can find what is required to make this a great car at the end, and further,...

Went to my almost local hobby shop this morning, to fetch a kit, and put my Nichimo Spirit FF on display with a few printed parts in a dedicated shelf, with a pdf printed on a side with a QR code to display my Cults3D page... https://i.imgur.com/W33NiWp.jpg This hobby shop is really dedicated to vin...

Happy New Year 2024 to everyone. 2023 was quite an impressive year with a lot of things I've done which I could have seen as impossible just few years back... The main lesson : failure is part of the success and you will learn from it, and each failure is a step closer to the success. And in terms ...

Since the inner upright was broken anyway, I decided to try to fix it.

Try to save as much as possible from the broken upright, then carefully file a piece of carbon fiber to fit.
Heat up M3 nut and press into upright.
Let´s see if it holds up.

Renderings again, still about the Hunter pre-production model...

Decided to try to actually finish this one up before diving too deep into something else. Decided awhile back that I wanted to put some more red into it, so put some different Tekin electronics in it. Factory Works cut me a rear body post mount out of some red G10. Swapped the steering knuckles for ...

Lots of playing around with body post positions and widening the wheel track, and now it sits just about how I want it. Lots of decal work still to design and install, but it is coming together.

Started into a Bullet refresh this weekend. Original plan was to go all out, and get the best of everything, but found out most of the parts I had (from two parts cars) cleaned up pretty well, so just decided to refresh it, and only replace what was really needed. As I found on my Slegehammer, Traxx...

Worked out a 4 part chassis, or 3 parts considering the last one is an addon... https://i.imgur.com/xuwbgyJ.jpeg And that should print on one single plate in 8 hours on my X1C (PLA - it would be longer with PETG or ABS)... https://i.imgur.com/Fii33EB.jpeg The way I broke down the chassis was basical...

Yea, mine are cracked at the link mounts, and this seems to be fairly typical of many of the pics I have seen of other vehicles. These are the only broken parts on my rig.
