Thanks!

I've finished the quick print of the gearbox profile. And it now matches the the gearbox (the real one)...


My gearbox is also good now

Gearbox halves are also ready for finish now...

Worked a bit on the CAD yesterday, but did not have a chance to post about it as it was very much time to go to sleep :) Yesterday made the last part between the chassis and the bumper, which was required to be able to seat the bumper... https://i.imgur.com/DeyWP9E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/L7Xecvc.jp...

Started the top half chassis on Wednesday... That did not worked out like I wanted... So yesterday, I scrapped it, and restarted differently... The masses are complex, but I feel like I'm on the right path this time... https://i.imgur.com/PHykVtG.jpg The right side is even more complex due to the mo...

At this stage I'd be thinking of building a printed runner and doing a shelf queen repair on the broken chassis . Don't you think this idea got thru my mind already :lol: ? I've thought about it, and there is absolutely now way to get the broken chassis together again... It is so broken a new one w...

Today, I wanted to tackle some additional parts... I started by using a plugin to model the internal gear (with FMGear, it's really easy). https://i.imgur.com/otjtqQK.jpg Then I decided to tackle the battery door and the rear sway bar. And yes, I did put some red on an original black part, but I do ...

3 parcels were incoming today... This is just a teasing, there is others

I got some friends on other forums impatient to know about N2 and N3 :-) so I have to post about that... So this morning, I got a first delivery at home. In the two boxes there was : 1. In the first box there was a Marui Ninja coming from Germany . Driver and MSC missing, Body is bad state but chass...

Started my afternoon with the radiator on my desk... I simplified it a bit. https://i.imgur.com/0vI9WkX.jpg For the small story, there was a radiator bag in the box of the Nichimo Spirit FF and Vantage FF... It included 3 parts. The radiator, the plate going between the chassis and the skid plate wh...

As planned, I applied the same method for the rear tyres... https://i.imgur.com/DpC53Ic.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6OOw9QX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BoXrQZd.jpg There is still a lot of things missing: - few pivot balls - shocks - Air scoop, bodyshell, roof and wing And I will need to have a look at the r...

After few days of confusion (360), with a lot of model explosions, and a few crashes of the application... https://i.imgur.com/oZZzTpX.jpg I'm very happy to say I finally succeed to have some progress today :-) First I got one shock. https://i.imgur.com/K3AFW0u.jpg The design is quite similar betwee...

How do you integrate an imported mesh , I was trying this today and gave up , I'd imported tires and wanted to integrate them with a wheel I modelled myself , importing the mesh was easy . Go in Mesh, use insert Mesh Then, I think it is under Solid/Create and Convert Mesh to Solid But then the file...

When are you printing the replacement chassis to fix the car , I'd love to see it running . I will definitely have to do some videos :-) Since I had the driver in, I decided to tackle roof and wing in the afternoon. I decided to do the roof with Metal Sheet, as I prefer the one from the Exceed than...

Today is an important day for this project... The 3D printed MJF Nylon PA12 chassis arrived... I was quite impatient to see it arriving, and be able to do some fitting test https://i.imgur.com/KKDK3rK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iSTFXed.jpg I also took the gearbox in, and it fits perfectly... As said, i...

A bunch of parts arrived from The Optima House today



And that included my Nichimo chassis, as this allowed both my friend from The Optima House and myself to save some shipment costs

The black MJF PA12 parts are printed and on the way already... As said it 6 stl files for the black parts. I repost the pics of the clusters as I had to update some as per the printers requirements: Chassis halves https://i.imgur.com/SnnXrbF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/j6tQwSX.jpg Radio box - reinforced...
