XLR8 , seems that this went crazy in my mind while in meetings in the afternoon... I think I can do better than the one I found on Cults3D. At the end of my day, I took the caliper to do some rough measurement, and went back to the drawing board... And started somthing... https://i.imgur.com/xHW2Hj...

Little work on this chassis https://media.joomeo.com/large/61e5d78c48aad.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/61e5d8ac50a41.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/61e5d8b891661.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/61e5d8c761f1d.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/61e5d8d50597e.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/la...

Carpet tape/ double sided tape without foam works well. Install it on the wheel with the outer protection still on it, install the foam tire, then peel at the protective coating till you can pull it out. Hope that makes sense Otherwise I’m not positive what glue they use but I would be looking for s...

I was wondering how these reissued buggies perform with today’s electrics? I read Kyosho have tweaked them for BL & LiPo but presumably the geometry is the same so does vast amounts of power release previously unseen potential in these cars or does it just highlight the ageing chassis design &a...

There is a long story about me constantly begging a friend of mine to use or borrow his CB back when I was 14 or so, and him never doing it for the longest time. He never played with it, and it just sat there. Then a one point, he needed a favor from me, so I negotiated a deal and got his rig for th...

Seems the quality is lacking.

Now with the replica body, everything is painted (thank's to typhoon graph) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51720763697_7f765554f8_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51721826798_e5af8e40c1_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51720764587_4641f1f7ba_m.jpg Aluminium wing buttons are te...

Next question , these tires have a 90° shoulder , the road surface and side wall just meet at a hard edge , my mind says that's bad and I would put a radius on the shoulder , this also brings up the question of trueing them , is there an easy way , I mean I have a lath but I've no idea and there mi...

Next question is what kind of gear ratio to use , I was using a 13t pinion with a 54t spur giving 4.15/1 , it felt over geared so on instinct I ordered an 11t pinion to give 4.9/1 , that still seems high to me but I've never driven a rig like this , anyone have a pointer on gear ratios for this wit...

54/9 (6/1) is the gearing that I chose for this car, with an 11T triple. However I intend on running slightly taller F1 rubber tires.

Although it's intended for automotive purposes, the gear ratio and tire diameter calculators work with anything.

Getting back to it. Since I know now that I will have to bag the part I decided to test laying the material and bagging. So no resin for this attempt. 48C4DC9F-757A-4BA3-ACC7-66CCBF158D5F.jpeg 426AA4E5-8BD1-4E6C-A809-8354A2ABED7E.jpeg Now this that is glued to a board I can tack down the fabric as I...

One of the pieces of paper in the box was this that shows the pre-production model and on the back there is a price list. It's interesting that they call it the "RPS/Yokomo C-4" I assume that this was dropped in the box by RPS because it had the parts list on it that is nowhere else in th...
