To be fair modern polymers are way better than they were in the 80s so the ribs may not be needed.

I actually put off getting one of these in favor of an optima mainly because I want to build something and the 834b is mostly assembled.

May get one later on but not now.

DSC_0655.JPG Mine is good to go, went with a cheap shorty lipo as the stick liop I was planning on using did quite fit with the body on. The stock Yokomo Motor seems to have a bit of punch for a 27T but I've only run it around the living room (hence the dog hair). One problem I had though was the r...

Started on this car again. Bought some... 5x10x4 bearings (no 3mm wide ones easily available today). Maverick ion(?) Dogbones (1mm ish diffrent to the meteor OG axles). Some dogbones from aliexpress 56mm long. Going to try some diffrent set ups with the bearing rear hubs and see what works and what ...

She was thrilled to be going on a car ride at first, but I think I captured the moment she realized we were at the grooming place.

Epoxied carbon fibre strips to the top of each side of the chassis for added strength. 1.jpg Kyosho Tomahawk front shocks have also been installed. Note the carbon reinforcing plates behind the tops of the shocks. I think without them the shocks would eventually tear out. 3.jpg These G10 plates were...

If the shaft is messed up from a pinion screw eating into it you might have trouble getting the bearing past it, so you may end up filing the shaft slightly.

Nice. thanks.

Finally had time to sit down and reassemble a Wildebeest I took apart a while back and cleaned up. Got a bunch of new pieces from Crunchy and it all went together nicely. I'm pretty good at the transmissions now, I've been told they never go back together correctly but this one was fine. I did end u...

Are you going to run this out at the Mrc track at Rolleston? I'm planning to. My son (5) is just getting the hang of driving mardave meteor #1 (my car) and I'm building his one (meteor #2) at the moment. We might get a 2wd SCT for him at Xmas because when I went out for a look last yr there was at ...

Few test prints done... https://i.imgur.com/rtrLqsE.jpeg The chassis splitted is printed as well https://i.imgur.com/W1ceoZ2.jpeg I did some checks and it looks good. https://i.imgur.com/qZboGJj.jpeg I had not much doubts on the holes positions, as they were already corresponding to the belt cover.....
