Re: Playtron Lynx & Dorbeman - let's CAD again :)

Gears are module .8 (11T/30T), and bevel gears are 12T module 1 (the same are used at the re...

Re: Playtron Lynx & Dorbeman - let's CAD again :)

Re: Loisirs Creations RC - Manx TT - 1/8

Slowly but surely, it starts to take shape... https://i.imgur.com/EFjm1n2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/b12zkpo.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/DjC5S6M.jpeg I started to reassemble the car. The rear train and the motor (finally opted for a 540 Torque Tuned) are now in place. I've put a 15T pinion on the motor (...

Re: Loisirs Creations RC - Manx TT - 1/8

Everythings is now in order, and it is time to finish it, really... A quick search on internet to search a jpg of a logo, a 2 minutes activity in Silhouette Studio, the cut, and then we start to transfer something on the bonnet :-). I had a Dune buggy in my mind, from when I was not even a teenager,...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

Same Gentlemen sold me this laser a week after he kindly adjusted the buy now on a Kyosho Rocky.
Both need serious amounts of TLC but they were local and didn't need to pay as much again on shipping.
Not convinced i needed either, but got plenty of bits around to make up a decent runner.
