My Jrx Pro has been sitting on the floor for a while now waiting for some final parts. Picked it up and had a look at it a couple of weeks ago. And found a puddle of shock oil under the front of the car. I like to have oil in the shocks even if the cars are just sitting still. I guess it makes them ...

The weather is getting warm enough again to start working towards a layup. I am working towards a fiberglass mold, but also trying to learn what is involved in making carbon fiber. I want to have at least a couple of mm thickness for my mold, even if I Ian going to add reinforcement after my initial...

https://i.imgur.com/FoFbrh9.jpg This got me thinking the whole night. It's good, but it doesn't respect one thing of the Samurai design. Something disturbs me when I look at those pics. The rim diameter size difference of the original wheels is about 4mm. Front tires are lower profile than rear one...

Added one parameter, reviewed the slot internal diameter and it should be perfect now... https://i.imgur.com/WZd6N4R.png https://i.imgur.com/s28yNcg.png Edit : tweaked it so it become less obvious that the external ring is bigger... https://i.imgur.com/ODajQRP.png I think I'll need to reprint those :)

Got the body cut out and Jeffs custom rear tower on, still a long list to do....

It wasn’t cheap but I wouldn’t consider it terribly expensive either…I got them rtr cars at about $200 a piece…of course then I had to buy fast chargers and extra batteries on top of that but cars ain’t fun if you have to charge them for 8 hours to run 15-20 minutes either…granted I gave a bit more ...

Yea I realize the clod ain’t got a snowballs chance…but if I can get a little more out of it maybe I can prevent it from becoming the victim of a demo derby when my boys decide to gang up on ol dad…

I washed the Uno cards this morning if anyone is up for a game...

Finally got a body painted any high down force wing sorted. Going to get its first run this weekend coming, it’ll be interesting to see how it goes against the modern buggies at the local indoor track.

Wow thanks for getting back to this one, just went through all of it from the start. What a phenomenal build !! Digging the black Novak with custom decal 8) Thank you Sir for the kind comment, glad you like it. In the end, this yielded that crazy sight: https://zupimages.net/up/22/07/dlfg.jpg Doug ...

Melted my brain for today :) Here is where I am... It definitely goes faster than what I thought initially. https://i.imgur.com/3A8gLHY.jpg I reviewed a lot of measurements within the day, and crosschecked also compared to the top half chassis... Part of what I have to do next is to position holes.....

I have now my second component. The RX box bottom part is defined...

Well, I don't have a clue yet... Today's lesson was that it is easier to see the symmetry axis of a gearbox when you have the gears visible inside... https://i.imgur.com/PE9avzz.jpg I started to model the left half of the gearbox... Almost used the full panel of my Confusion360 skills within a singl...

It turned out quite well. I posted it on facebook, but some of you might have missed it.

The work on the gear box continue... At this stage, I have three sketches for the gearbox. One for the profile, and the target is to use it as well for the right gearbox. https://i.imgur.com/LjJJ4MP.jpg It's not even complete as I added other things inside the sketch later on... I have another one f...
