Howdy, I bought another car from the original owner. He was only about 25 miles from me. It’s got quite a few scratches on the original chassis and the one it’s currently fitted with. From what I was able to look up, it looks like maybe a Trinity chassis. The car came with the original box, a bunch ...

Thanks guys. With the prices going up on eBay, I thought this was a pretty good deal for $275.

This morning I was not feeling well, so I dropped a message to my boss I'll get a day off and moved all my today's meeting before getting back to sleep... And around 11 this morning, I woke up, and decided to restart the work on the left half gearbox... First work out the supports of the suspension ...

That was a few years ago, just having a little fun with my (by this time) new milling machine. https://i.postimg.cc/njVBbvTG/asso1kompr.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/TLkmRp4M/asso2kompr.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/6TmRg4ZC/Asso-Alt-Chassis1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bSsndp7G/Asso-Alt-Oben-Regler.jpg https://...

Yesterday, I made a lot of progress... I started during the lunch break by doing some reverse engineering of two parts closing the gearbox on the motor side... https://i.imgur.com/RsrWSQx.jpg Once you have it done, it looks definitely easier to understand - I guess I will have less difficulty next t...

The gearbox is printed... Time to do some checks. https://i.imgur.com/cXOPZOh.jpg First, the mesh is good. Next step, trying to fit it with the right one... https://i.imgur.com/8zIGXnT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AqHs07j.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mO8Ebjt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w4PS8WR.jpg Good : meshed, ...

The stock was far from beautiful :wink: might not look like it in the pics but it was pretty rough. If it were a valuable gun then I would have done a restoration on it back to factory condition. But the stock was in pretty rough shape, barrel was rusted/pitted, plus the Model 41 was a gun that is v...

Thanks!

I've finished the quick print of the gearbox profile. And it now matches the the gearbox (the real one)...


My gearbox is also good now

Gearbox halves are also ready for finish now...

Worked a bit on the CAD yesterday, but did not have a chance to post about it as it was very much time to go to sleep :) Yesterday made the last part between the chassis and the bumper, which was required to be able to seat the bumper... https://i.imgur.com/DeyWP9E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/L7Xecvc.jp...

Tap pic for details, I appreciate your time.

Bit of a scoop here... I seem to have stumbled across a bit of a Novak servo haul. I have been on the lookout for a Novak NES-1A servo for my Demon MF-1 1/12th build and nothing much has come up for a while..... then out of the blue a couple of days ago i received a message from a friend of mine who...

It is just about 50% more than a B1. Not quite a B2 though.

Started the top half chassis on Wednesday... That did not worked out like I wanted... So yesterday, I scrapped it, and restarted differently... The masses are complex, but I feel like I'm on the right path this time... https://i.imgur.com/PHykVtG.jpg The right side is even more complex due to the mo...

At this stage I'd be thinking of building a printed runner and doing a shelf queen repair on the broken chassis . Don't you think this idea got thru my mind already :lol: ? I've thought about it, and there is absolutely now way to get the broken chassis together again... It is so broken a new one w...

Some more Novak ESCs showing up in 1984 race reports.

1984 (May) Euro Champs. Looks more like an NESC-1 than the ESC in my first post. 1984 (Aug) World Champs. No pics...just a mention.
