Starting something special today... Enjoy Easter eggs

Once the gearbox is completed, the next steps are about the front suspension. First the knuckles... https://i.imgur.com/apsYjrz.jpg And the front arms are joining the knuckles. The adjustment is tight, but is moving. I added some dry lube in the pivots, and it is smooth now. I guess it will improve ...

Time to add the wheels. There is pins and hub on rear axis as well, probably because that's the way they thought it would be easier to remove the wheels... https://i.imgur.com/O8rtpyU.jpg And then, it was the time for the roll cage... There is a lot of screws. Everything lines up perfectly... https:...

And a quick run video...

The chassis are Tamiya xr311 or Lamborghini Cheetah.

Was going to say exactly this.
I started to key my answer, got a call, and then you had it done.

As I decided to delay the Samurai first build for a few days, I have some time to finish something... I decided to deal with the two Galaxy. I cut the wings, and drill the driver figures (they are repro in resin). https://i.imgur.com/CfbRk7n.jpg Next was to take care of the wings paintjob. Thanks to...

My son finally finished his Super Hotshot... (yes, the driver has closed eyes, as my son decided that since he's driving the car the driver figure will be afraid and keep eyes closed :lol:) https://i.imgur.com/VlupaHe.jpg That means that my tools are available again :-). In other words, it's time to...

Next is about the front gearbox... First, the differential. The red parts are again from OptimaHouse. The ball bearings fits perfectly. I had some difficulties to get the e-ring snapped in, but that's because of Marui's design. I used the sheet I used for the pinion mesh to get the e-ring lit up to ...

Lunch was good, and parts were printed. It did not took much time to print, probably more time to heat the printer than to print, actually. I printed 8 spacers, just in case I need to put them on the front as well (as per the instruction manual, we are supposed to put on on each side of the arms). I...

After a morning spent on a track indoor session, i got back to work after the lunch. But I had prepared my plan yesterday, as it required some printed parts... I was teasing a way to fix my ESC: there is a natural room for it in the place of the Speed controller servo. I started to design a very sim...

I did not post late on Sunday evenning as I have my stuff to prepare for a work travel, but before going to bed, I worked a bit to prepare a driver figure before painting it. I got a few Marui multipurpose driver figure reproduction from OptimaHouse. https://i.imgur.com/9dtuHiN.jpg There is one thin...

I was back home on Wednesday evening. I tool the time to take care of the driver figure paint job, at least for the helmet... https://i.imgur.com/rmeuCE0.jpg On Thursday, I did a few five minutes job in between meetings to deal with the driver body(s) (I used a paint marker rather than a brush, it's...

When you look at the reverse side of the Samurai chassis and look at the machining of the mould it looks very rough and ready , all the sectioned out areas are like granny's patchwork quilt , they don't smoothly transition but have steps , I think even the machinists had a had time making the mould...

I had Hunter and Galaxy drivers sitting unpainted on my desk for a while (a long while)... Got recently some goodies from optimaforever for the Galaxies, and I needed to showcase them. No way I can do this without proper driver figure and wings. The wings were tackled a few weeks ago. That was not t...

Received today a set of Stickers for the Nichimo... Maybe this time I may do a box art (usually, I don't do that, but since the internal are not originals, it may be worth to do it this way :lol: :mrgreen: ). Beside this, I unlocked an achievement this week-end : I received my first tip as designer ...
