Looks good.
I'm amazed you were able to foil the bumper in one piece. Nice!

A new 1:8 scale Mopar from 3dsets:

It's very tempting. I don't have a Mopar in the collection and the 1:8 F150 Raptor needs some company.
So many projects, so little time.

I'd probably just go with PLA since it's cheap and easy to print. ... then I'd need to be careful around curbs and lamp posts and avoid leaving it in the car during a hot summer day. I've had a look at the build manual and I am thoroughly impressed. The level of planning, design and engineering is r...

The absorption rate for PLA does appear to be very low. Remnants from my first roll have been left in the printer for a couple months now and it's still pliable. I reckon it will make an acceptable print despite never have been dried. PLA, however, isn't easy to sand to remove layer lines. Could ABS...

Yes-sir, looks fantastic!! Every RC collection needs at least one Scorcher and yours is perfect.

BTW, considering the era this car came from, maybe your driver would be sitting on a stack of phone books?

... and unfortunately, I'll continue to derail this thread. :lol: The F100 pickup is only my second RC project using a printer so I'm still learning. One feature in Bambu Studio that I've started using with this project is adaptive layers. Parts on the left were printed with uniform layer heights (0...

Well, the stepper motor finally arrive and the autopsy revealed a 3-stage planetary set. Each gear set is 3.56:1 (the cube root of 45.2) so I've gone ahead and modified the transmission to use only one gear set: planetary gear set.JPG I needed to turn an input shaft, make a bearing carrier and a mot...

For this model and the Subaru Impreza by Casadio, https://youmagine.com/designs/1713ec98-35fa-4601-9032-bff7966fd1c3#top I really appreciate that they've created an inner (unibody) structure. https://youmagine.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBd2FFQkE9PSIsIm...

In the video attached, he had no trouble scanning the object in to Fusion, and using it to make a part with the correct dimensions. If no one has tried Polycam yet, I'll find a phone with LiDAR and give it a try. I believe it's worth trying. BTW, could you please post another link to that video? I ...

This one looks pretty good however, with the 40th, 10T, DS, Halsey and Team Car, I think they've covered all the bases so I'll skip this one.

Now, when (if) they offer a '91 Stealth, they will have my full attention - and my money. 

If this happens, I believe it will be a first for AE; offering a production version of an aftermarket conversion of their RC10. Today's AE is a different company so I guess anything's possible. What about the centro? I must admit that I'm not familiar with the Centro. Was it developed by others and...

This thread has gone quiet for the past month. I was surprised to find this posted on ebay this morning. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/af4AAOSwtWpnuLou/s-l1600.webp https://www.ebay.com/itm/326454975320?_skw=rc10&itmmeta=01JMQ0PSTDXPER3NJT43A905NM&hash=item4c023b9b58:g:af4AAOSwtWpnuLou&...

The more I think about this, the more angry I get.

Why didn't they reproduce the 4wd RC10 prototype that Jay raced at the World's?
At least that car has some connection with AE.

Well, they can keep it! No pre-order from me.

First few ABS parts have printed without a hitch. So far, so good. I've used PEI plate, ran filament calibration, used glue and a brim. No bed or layer adhesion problems. P1010076.JPG I did notice parts are easier to remove than with PLA on the high-tack cool plate. Anyway, on to the next set of par...
