Hung a few more pieces on the chassis to check alignment, adjust tie rods and check for anything that I've missed so far. And I put the rear shock tower on correctly :oops: :oops: :oops: The springs look a lot better after their tint job. The car still needs to come back apart for bearings and C-hub...

How to take a simple RC10/10T battery hold down mount and make it way over-complicated.

Well it's pretty well trimmed. Sanded 320, 400, 800, 1000. 1500 and 3000. A quick buff on the wheel and ... From 6-12" inches away it looked like a mirror finish. optima35.JPG Back to wet sanding. I can never really tell the final finish unless I polish the piece then either take a pic or look ...

Two more attempts... The second polishing is virtually flawless to the eye. Even the previous pic looked extremely good. Things I must keep in mind, aluminum is one of the most reflective metals, I am exaggerating the ever so slight imperfection with a bright led light , the image on my monitor is a...

Something I have been working on for the past few weeks. May very well be the height of my clinical OCD lol. Have been 3D printing and painting everything for a scale garage scene for the Felony. Everything is 3D printed, then painted/detailed. Pictures on the walls are resized pictures I took up on...

It took me longer to build the theater than it took to build the house.
130+" screen, 7.1, 2k watts, sub plays well below 20hz and lots of acoustic damping.
The only task that was "farmed out" was the seating upholstery.
It started as an unfinished rectangular room.

Not a random bump, but never hurts. Gave the barn a full detail yesterday.

The plan this time is to build another runner car and I've just uploaded some part designs for printing -- for the first time. To date, every part I've gotten from printing services has been someone else's design so I'm new to the process. We'll see how this goes but so far, so good. The first item ...

Thanks guys Steve- It's a painted ceiling with UV reactive glow paint for stars. I had been to "The worlds largest mechanical planetarium" I visited there while on a trip to the family cottage. And that was the inspiration for the ceiling. There are 8 4' UV fluorescent tube fixtures nested...

I found a set of 3d printable bulldog style wheels in 1.9 for hotshot tires on Cults3d , they looked really nice until I put them in my slicer program and there was very little material between the holes so I designed a set myself , they also have a deeper offset than standard hotshot wheels . https...

The 2mm Kydex sheet came today so I made a front bumper to preserve the cage , its slightly darker than the cage but I can live with it .

The pandemic has been taxing my patience and wallet for the past 16 months. I decided to build a collection of sets of cars from a few different manufactures-EX) RC10, RC10T, RC10L, TC3, etc. I've been focusing the most on vintage Traxxas as of late and picked up a pretty complete Bullet that needed...

Eating a bug on the window sill this a.m. A bunch of these little guys around here.
