Doing a test print of the front end now , fingers crossed

Result of the front test piece , it's mostly very good :D , there's a few things like the servo cut out that needs to go forward 1.5mm , the diff bearing seats are slightly off but all the screw holes line up and the suspension fits perfectly .

Rear test print , overall very happy , much like the front some minor adjustments needed.

I am certainly liking this..... I would probably like it more if there was room for a 'regular' shape battery through the chassis..... but still, buggers can't be choosers..... ;) Keep up the good work, mate! I'm starting with a faithful reproduction , later once the important geometry is right I c...

Baa , just chased my own tail trying to fix issues , brain has melted and I'll go again in the morning .

Ok the corrections on the Mini Mustang chassis are done now I can move on to making the left and right side details .

Finished the PB Mini Mustang chassis , had to be very patient at the end as Fusion 360 was close to crashing after every action and it had to think for 5 min before I could continue , that also meant I was saving after every action and it needed to think for another 5 min , just tedious :!: Anyway I...

I left the carrier as close to original as I could and I agree with all those holes the chances of breakage are high but it just looks “right” with em. On the clips, I left them open but not really snappable. I wanted the look but wasn’t concerned about the functionality since we don’t have the cor...

Congratulations Dirtburner

Started modding the Mini Mustang chassis , I was asked to make it fit a shorty lipo and add a nylock nut for the belt tensioner screw. The battery was more involved as i had to move the servo 10mm forward to fit it all in . I beefed up the tensioner screw area and added another screw hole for holdin...

Think the shorty lipo chassis is ready . chassis 3 v5 v13.jpg chassis 3 v5 v131.jpg chassis 3 v5 v142.jpg I looked into pricing for Shapeways and its just under the £120 mark delivered in the UK , I can't see that being very popular so I'm going put the files on Cults3d for a few quid and then peopl...

Mini Mustang lipo shorty chassis is half test printed , from the pictures you can see the nylock nut for the belt tensioner and an enlargement of the flange to accept a second screw to help secure the nut , battery fitment showing relocation forward by 12mm of the battery and servo , unfortunately t...

Make sure you bring plenty of D batteries The one that I had took ten of them, and they didn't last long. Needless to say, it stayed on the shelf. Mine was a bit special , I plumbed in a 30 watt per channel 4 channel car amplifier/graphic equalizer , with 4 boxed car speakers screwed on , ran it al...

Think I've finalised the Mini Mustang chassis for lipo , got it all test printed and I'll fit the transmission tomorrow just to be sure the belt clears , I added another screw to the joint for the two piece design just to tighten it up .

With the transmission in the belt just intrudes into the battery aperture by about 0.5mm at the top rear but clears the bottom it easily clears by about 3mm , the solution is simple ,just lower the aperture by 1mm or 1.5mm , the aperture is taller than the shorty lipo I'm working with anyway so 1mm ...
