My dad’s best friend he had for his whole life developed pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and offered me the car. It wasn’t running and was stored in his garage for six years. I flat bed towed it from his garage to mine. There it sat for another four. This last summer I cracked in. Found 2 gallons of f...

Well I didn't get it in the post but my LHS did, and I got to pick it up. Also, does Yokomo not have spell check?

I made some test prints of the motor cover. I wanted to be sure it can be mounted on a car with the motor in... I printed the parts for exhaust and airboxes in white so we can clearly see a color separation for the tests... https://i.imgur.com/YbngEot.jpeg Then the motor cover and the rest of the re...

Sometimes you get a mediocre result with a lot of cost and effort. IMG_3676.jpeg The bulk head brace is good. Some voids but ok, the battery cover… the pressure was too low and the moisture was too high. Also unfortunately the mold looks like it got some edge damage. Still decent results . At least ...

Made a mount for the ESC.

Riu Dunamar again,just north of Cancun.

The build us finished! I decided to ignore the esc issue as it was already soldered in and I didnt feel like redoing it with another esc.

Those are actually part of the "4 link" which uses live hinges at the bottom. System works really well. The part in the middle is a "dipper". You fill the well with syrup and it's a crude but very effective damper. Just try not to leave the car inverted for more than a few second...

Years ago, I read about this diff on Tamiyaclub (Blasphemy! :D ). It's mentioned in the second post on page one by the member Tanker (2). https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9140-srb-balldiff/ I wondered about it for years and came to the conclusion that I'd probably never see one, or ...

they needed to team up with AC/DC on that release!

That also might be what I need when I get around to re-doing my Hyper Hornet front suspension. I hate dealing with the limited clearance in Hopper tubs. I just use the standard servo saver and glue it together, then use a cheap metal gear servo in it. But with your printing capabilities, you have a...

I did not advance much today... Just built a mould for the prototype bodyshell... https://i.imgur.com/jVDE8Xy.jpeg And out of curiosity, I tried to see if it is printable within the 256x256x256 mm of the Bambu Lab X1C https://i.imgur.com/7hVWazg.jpeg Yeah... Technically possible, but I guess this wi...
