First test print of the front tire. This is probably a usable tire but the back side is pretty ugly. I want to mess around with the settings and also look at softer compounds. I have a rear tire on the printer now. Even though we are only doubling the dimensions to go from 1/10 to 1/5, volumetricall...

Focus is back on the 44B chassis... First, I decided to do a support super easy to print... Tires are now 1 mm over the ground... https://i.imgur.com/opOcmxS.jpg Next I review the roll bar. The target is to have something that can be used when running (with search lights in a very Marui way). I may ...

61 mph wasn't enough (still need to break 100 kph) so I installed a custom 3d printed idle gear (30t idle gear along with a 20t pinion). Once I get my stability issues corrected, it should hit 65+ mph. If anyone was looking for optional stock 32t idle gear, there is a file for that too! https://yout...

Not today, but yesterday. Ol' lady took me on one of her 5 mile death marches. Scenery was decent though.

An actual towel animal, not the birthday toast juice.

Didn't realize there existed this type of RC racing. I know I would totally be the person to trip over all the course barriers.

IMO, the best looking monster truck of the '80s was the Kyosho Double Dare! Not the best at really anything else, but looks wise, the DD does it for me!! :D So, through horse trading, I have ended up with two semi-crappy Double Dares, so might as well make one out of the best parts. This will be a r...
