It actually did knock some of the dirt off the top of the ramp, so gonna have to add some more and pack it down better for this truck.

Well just pulled the diff/axles out of the rear, I'm gonna say that bevel gear probably needs to be replaced

I was so happy to get these from a friend today. If I wasn’t addicted before I am now.

The sides are trimmed and the tabs are cut into the back. The chassis is about 5 mm longer than stock

I've been watching for a reasonably priced carcass for a Hornet project. What I ended up with is a nicely upgraded former shelfer. In the Toy Story scheme of things, I'm a bit more of a Sid than an Andy, so this will meet the need nicely. It's shelfer days are done. 😁 . PXL_20220527_130708540~2.jpg

I haven't worked in CAD since long long ago in high school and it is nothing like we had then. I would think with modern computers and software would be an easy scale up here to 1/10? The hard work is done. One can dream, but this is awesome! I’d be willing to bet they modeled it in 1/10 first and ...

I used to have a close on a Zilla 2 chassis I sold 7-8 years ago and have since regretted. Anyway this popped up on the local CL about 20 mins away from me and at a reasonable price so I pulled the trigger. When I got home there were some killer extra goodies in the box. The guy I bought it from was...

5mm aluminium centre drive shaft finished. Very lightweight. I can confirm that it moves just enough to be removed from the chassis as described in a previous post. No more time wasting spur gear changes.

Hello, I was so happy that I got an almost complete 834b / Dog fighter with tires, gears and chain in great condition. Unfortunately the pre-owner was obviously a full time smoker right in front of the shelve where the car was stored. After putting a wheel in the ultra sonic bath it immediately turn...

I just ordered two sets in natural black. Standard Shipping was $9.99 here in the states…total order was $38.

This morning, I started by using the slicer to prepare a set of test print and launched a print of the motor plate. The first test I did last week was non conclusive as the PLA was probably affected by storage issue. I had the dryer running all afternoon yesterday before I run some night prints, and...

Throwing a couple more pieces together just to see what it looks like, love how it is coming together.

First time again that the Yoko stands back on his own feet. Not fully assembled as some of the original Truss Pan Head to fasten the wheels were overrided ind the Philips head and need to be replaced. But still looks good…😉 B8FDD091-CB30-4809-9DEB-D2877F31E40E.jpeg 4785EE6A-23E9-4D01-8DE3-B8BA8C789D...

I did not took pictures during the test of the rear gearbox. I spoted instantaneously 2 big mistakes and one smaller: - the top of the gearbox was off of 1.5 millimeter, which explain partly my rear input rod issue colliding the top chassis - the rear extension that aims to fix the roll cage was off...

It doesn't get much more simple and straightforward than this. Bullet-proof budget racing.
