Nothing too exciting - just some wheels I slapped together in Tinkercad (I did not draw the centers, borrowed from another design) and sent out for professional printing....

All done

Lots of talk about slot brush conversions on here recently, so here is a review from Radio Race Car magazine discussing the offering from Intronics.

An interesting read.

Very nicely done!

Can you see all obstacles in your way

I'll bet this body looks great outside on a bright, bright sunshiny day.

I mixed up a batch of resin and applied it after dropping off the kids and before work.

Last, I got advised by a cool Australian guy that I have a package to fetch somewhere nearby... He told me : it's going to be amazing or a nightmare. I'll fetch that at the end of my day, check the content and report the long story if it is what I hope it is :-) First it is A M A Z I N G ! :D I sti...

All done.

Didn't get the JG rear shock tower, got ripped off on Ebay.

I got a few more I wanted, and a few more I didn't plus a 2nd lathe. Probably a few more items in here to add to my garage sale.

Wrong thread, but too good to pass up.

This is my solution to the problem. In th...

Cool thread - always interested in Coyote mods!

We did the alloy motor mount mod with heatsink ribs/air flow grooves and it works well.

just a few photos to wrap up this build(s).

Pro tip #2: If your body post springs are in need of replacing because they have seen way too many rollovers or are rusting, this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LD2S71C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 is all you need. Ignore the fact that the description calls them compression springs, the...

You should use a front diff case in the rear too for extra bearing support on the spur shaft..makes it easier ...

Just chillin' waiting for a squirrel to run by before the bluejays come to chase it away.
