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...

Yesterday before going to bed, I designed a last part for this car (ok, maybe it won't be the last one, I don't know :lol: ) https://i.imgur.com/MgyButb.jpg And I printed it this morning, just before going to the office... https://i.imgur.com/ZlfVeNO.jpg Next steps: - stickers (not my favorite stuff...

As usual, LEDs connection takes time... But it's done. I did plan to change the battery connector, but the parcel with additional XT60 connector did not arrived as per plan. That will be for later. https://i.imgur.com/NsaXQgM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/D9RoSzS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OfFZdUu.jpg https:...

With PLA could you kind of print them tight fitting then warm the ball up and squeeze the cup parts onto the ball , get a really good fit ? Or design a custom part to use bigger pillow balls ? The place is a bit constrained. There is no room to make it bigger, the cups placed on the top of the arms...

Nice Beetles, Doug!

One parcel which I was waiting for some time arrived today from Sweden... It took much longer than usual, and the tracking of the parcel still show it under transportation in France at Sweden side and under preparation at sender on French tracking side... I had some fear each time I opened the track...

Another day, another package



Underguards for Samurais by OptimaHouse and Lineworks, the coloring book by @optimaforever

Few incoming today. Few RXs for some cars first... Then a bodyshell and some accessories for my Kyosho Spider TF3... It will be a CLK GTR, and I'm not 100% sure yet if I get it painted my own way or not. Only thing that is sure is this car needs to get ready by first week-end of June for a vintage e...

Last, I got advised by a cool Australian guy that I have a package to fetch somewhere nearby... He told me : it's going to be amazing or a nightmare. I'll fetch that at the end of my day, check the content and report the long story if it is what I hope it is :-) First it is A M A Z I N G ! :D I sti...

Unexpected, somehow I still have no words for what is happening right now. And I need to tell the long story, as it is part of what came as a result of the Nichimo Spirit FF project for me. Few weeks back, an Australian guy mentioned he was searching rear arms for a Nichimo FF car in one comment of ...

I scratched my head looking at the bottom rear arms... Looking at them, they are not flat. And I checked it is the same on the other side. https://i.imgur.com/Qa52wBP.jpg Analysing a bit more, it looks it could be deformation due to the car sitting on wheels for long time. Very likely. In my chat on...

After my last post, I started to work out assemblies. I added the battery door hinge to the rear assembly https://i.imgur.com/tWXfHDn.jpg I had the idea that making assembly will help me to check key measurements and design. As expected, it helps, a lot. https://i.imgur.com/sk6zTuJ.jpg The battery d...

I did not made updates on this thread lately... First, shocks issue was solved with Tamiya red o-rings. They works much better, and the don't leak anymore. I received the under guard from Optima House recently. I had the time to mount them during an evening, butt did not bother to take pictures at t...

After the short but effective Samurai break, let's get back on the Nichimo... First, I was highlighted that there is some differences between the Midships to chassis and Exceed top chassis. Analysis of the instruction manuals shows they use a different MSC. My car is a indeed a Midships chassis with...

My wife was managing a go live in her company this morning, and she is having her desk in our room when she is working home. The result is that I woke up quite unusually early this morning. And it seems that my neurons are melting right now... I did progress this afternoon, but sometimes it was more...
