Ayk super trail ?

Well won Brocklee

That's a cute trick , I'll have to remember that one .

Took all day but I've fixed the Samurai chassis model , just a little more work and it's time for another test print but this one should be the completed part

OK now printing the corrected left side chassis


This shows the correction , old on left and new on right

The inspiration for this build comes from the Marui The Samurai 4wd prototypes campaigned at the 1985 Worlds , the prototypes were all white . The Samurai to me is one of the best looking buggy's from the 80's and in white just so much better , this project leans heavily on 3d printed parts , I drew...

Been busy Printin ! I got quite deeply inspired by the Prototype White Samurai's that were sent by the Marui team to the 85 worlds , ever since I saw them I was in love :P https://i.imgur.com/na72bF1l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JupOJzTl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N4b0FFgl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4ehZiJ1l....

This is the very latest iteration of the chassis with all rolled edges and sectioned out hollow , I've kept a version that's not sectioned out and I'll offer both the solid and sectioned version on Shapeways , cost difference is negligible .

As Murry Walker a famous Formula 1 commentator was fond of saying " To finish 1st first you need to finish "

It's done ! by far in a way the hardest thing I've ever reverse engineered , everything lines up , it just drops right in there

Chassis now on sale on Shapeways in my Dadio Designs shop

Printed and fitted the right side chassis for the Samurai and it also fitted perfectly , I've just ordered both parts myself from Shapeways , I'll let you know when they arrive.

I'm no expert on pan cars but I like that a lot , should be in the Build Of The Month Contest for sure

This stupid idea popped into my head and everyone loves an FF right ?

Found this little feller walking across the path , late in the year for caterpillars here .
