I thought I could move on the Zerda soon, but I did a miscalculation for the belt length, apparently. Ordered new ones, longer. And in the meantime, this mean I need to do something... A friend has fed me with ideas in my reflexion, and he will work with the red parts for the chassis he is going to ...

This is a recreation of my late 80s Blackfoot. I put it back to the specs i raced it like back than, including the Lemans 240ST motor. It was the golden era of rc and this was one of my more memorable rc vehicles. Display body includes 5 coats of automotive clear. Messenger_creation_219B7354-C3BD-49...

Time to check the assembly is going to go easy... First front train bar... I straight away noticed that I need to review the bottom part of the clamp either to introduce the nuts by a pause during the print or either reviewing the design to make it easier to insert (it was a bit too hard to my taste...

For those wanting to see the chain drive, here it is fresh off the track from the race..hasn't been touched

Berfore dealing with the bodyshells, it is time to deal with the wheels... The simple way to have proper foam tire easy to source is to rely on Kyosho Fantom wheels. The carrier would simply required to be drilled with a 10mm diameter for the center hole, the carrier has the same hex definition. On ...

Sure, about 8 months to take it from mostly done to mostly'r done! Sounds about right! :D Finally got it worked out that I have a roll cage, so got that on, and got it painted up ............... although it is purple, but my phone is making it blue for some reason. Weird is that it is picking up the...

I printed tires with Recreus Filaflex 60A. https://i.imgur.com/TKD0DP0.jpeg From what I can see on my desk, it could actually work, so I'm eager to try them on asphalt to see if workable this way. Backup plan will be Fantom EP-4WD re-release wheels... I do still have to do something about the holes ...

I did a rear body mount that is targeted to be printed in TPU and will include leds holder, exhaust, and flaps behind the rear wheels... https://i.imgur.com/R2jQmol.jpeg I believe the inspiration of this bodyshell is a Ferrari 333SP, but I decided to not use any wing for some reason (something I'll ...

No idea what I’m going to do with these, thought they were too cool to pass up though. As Jeff stated, Premier Designs Bat Wedge. I have one I picked up awhile back for the exact same reason. I know a guy that has a few more, and I pick up a few bodies from him every time I go out there, so I am su...

Ruined a "vintage" esc heatsink. I dared not file any further.

Cut and mounted another TOJ for the indoor/carpet car....thanks again RC10resto, I guarantee the NIB will never see any asphalt scratches! Will be running both this summer.

My last post on this topic was last Sunday... Since then, I had quite a time to move some stuff around... First, arches were unmarked on the bodyshell. I did a small tool (and I believe I can improve it for next time)... https://i.imgur.com/8EeO7M9.jpeg The principle is simple : mark, drill, fix, cu...

Made two new bumpers.....wasn't happy with the width on the first one I made a while back. The added width covers both front tires and should help protect the kingpin/graphite crossbar weak spots a bit better. For what it's worth, my chicken scratch/drawing is in the photo if anybody is interested. ...

This Arsey 10 arrived. I'm not sure why the front wheels are in the back

Bolink Invader + Cobra Sport. Seller basically put together a BOGO and I couldn't refuse!
