Fabrication & paint/clear all done. Also took apart the Ignitor wheels and painted them Hammered silver as well as painted the beadlocks. Soooo many screws in those wheels lol. Now the fun part of starting to put it all together can start. Gonna look great with the Polished freestyle axles under...

The shelfie is just about done. I still need to paint the driver, but I will do that the same time I paint the one for the runner.

This thing came out better than I thought it would. I honestly can't stop smiling at it! I am 13 again!!

Hit me up with a file for the chassis and it’s in the mail in the morning.

Today I started to execute the plan, and attached the frames with my measurement braces... https://i.imgur.com/ItN94k3.jpg?1 First, beside the gearbox attachement, the chassis is symmetrical :) https://i.imgur.com/S2BBR5U.jpg Then I used triangulation to define the attachment points, and less than t...

Yesterday, before going to bed, I launched a print of rims in red PLA. Those rims are based on Nichimo original design in a single part, and are adapted to "easy to source" 2 inches tires (with Hotshot tires in mind for my car). This morning, the print was at 44%, and it finished within th...

Today, I did this Reedy 14X3. Disassembled and cleaned everything, cut the comm, polished the brush hoods, painted the can, and added a new MCI decal. It already had the timing label that matches the decal. Screenshot_20220415-180537_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20220415-180549_Gallery.jpg The brushes had...

Just a quick up date on the mid, I’ve managed to get a couple of race meeting in since building it and I’ve got to say I’m really impressed with it so far. I hadn’t raced a buggy in nearly 5 years so the first meeting was a bit of a steep learning curve for sure. A few minor tweaks and it was really...

I'd absolutely really want to quit. Even being a "part-time" smoker, it's hard. Part time meaning, I typically have 0-2 cigarettes a day, but smoke like chimney while drinking occasionally. Well done Steve Dude, we're all human! I've heard it gets easier to every time you decide to. I am ...

I almost forgot I ordered this some weeks ago https://i.imgur.com/FzeKCl3.jpg The last bit (aka the missing body mount) arrived today... Well, there is still stickers missing, but I'm not sure yet if I'll put Nichimo Stickers on my own Nichimo... I may want to do something different, as it is differ...

This is how it looks now. I made the parts whick connect the nose brace upper deck to the noseplate and the upper deck to the rear bulkhead. As you can see it is getting serious here. Or series? :lol: If i have the machine ready I always make two, three or four, when the machine is ready it is done ...

here is an old pic of my first clod, I bought it used or traded as we kids did back in the day, picture was taken at a saw mill where I grew up, my buddies dad owned it and let us play in the sawdust mounds exhausted out the back of the mill.

Got it back together. Whoever was in this motor before, had the armature endplay way too tight. I adjusted the endplay and centered the armature in the magnetic field. I reassembled it with new Trinity springs and the old brushes. I checked rotation before installing the decal, so that everything wo...

I think the 30* kick up carbon plate is where the real value is, it opens up the opportunity to make all sorts of chassis that are long gone.

Hi all, update, finally, seems we never get enough time to work on these projects, so baby steps, -New 3 racing universals in the rear, and pin/clamp 12mm hex drives to suit, -Steering had some vertical slop which i took out with some anodized cup washers to match the turbo "duralinium" co...

Once the gearbox is completed, the next steps are about the front suspension. First the knuckles... https://i.imgur.com/apsYjrz.jpg And the front arms are joining the knuckles. The adjustment is tight, but is moving. I added some dry lube in the pivots, and it is smooth now. I guess it will improve ...
