Dusted the old girl off for some astroturf racing

Glad we can get arms again now from Jc Racing

Just thought I would park this here heh.

Been a couple of minutes since I had a "wake up early on a Saturday and road trip to a RC car" day. Had a great one today! A Kyosho USA-1 and OG Blackfoot, about 45 minutes from each other, and about 2 hours from the house. Both very under priced IMO. A USA-1 has been a bit of a Eleanor to...

Installed. I drilled and tapped the 2 holes for the front sway bar mount. It sort of matches my XX now.

Got eyes on this Saturday. It's a dream come true up close. Realizes a long time dream! Runs decent too, if you're into actually running R/C cars... I just like to look.

Point of no return. Bags cut open. 20220803_165634.jpg 20220803_165325.jpg Hydrating the nylon parts. 20220803_164808.jpg I don't think I will be peroxiding any parts. IIRC, some of the parts (rear bulkhead, trans. case, etc.) are what they called bitd "glass impregnated nylon" which accou...

Few more pics

I think the chassis might be finished?

Only taken four years can i blame covid

So I couldent resist. I bought the red one, Figured as it's my first ever Losi!.. I have a few mods in mind. Swapping the wheel nuts for white nylone. Thinking of painting the receiver/esc case orange. Try to source mini-T 1.0 springs. I've ordered JRX2 decals and panel decals in 1/16 scale from MCI...

The peroxide did its thing and now we are looking a little bit brighter.

Time to focus on the hardware.

Moo ahh, ah ah ahhh.... The future electric DS has arrived. The Exide Batteries decals seem like fitting foreshadowing of the future.

I dont know if I will follow through on this or if it is just a 3d modeling exercise, but I have been modeling RC10 parts and trying to translate them to 1/16 scale. I do not have any front arms anymore apparently so I had to find some parts on yeggi (the grey ones). In the picture is the model next...

It all looks to be printed , the 959 is described as fused nylon , that's selective laser sintering or multi jet Fusion , either way printed , the tires are described as having divots on the back face from the production method or in other words support material , I'd presume they are resin printed ...

Have the other printer out of the closet grinding away again making more prototypes...

the tiny battery box is precious
