Re: Marui Big Bear tires - let's CAD :)

One thing to determine is if the tire material requires a higher temperature that the mold can handle. i've done some research for this: Formlabs pitch their Resin10K has being having a heat deflection temp around 220°C, and they announced in their webinar about injection molding it is suitable to ...

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

Running the 1:1 bike today...

A day with high (34°C) and low (10°C), and some rain. My bike did not run since almost 2020... 400 kms, partly under (heavy) rain, but smile under the helmet the whole day :-)

Re: Marui Big Bear tires - let's CAD :)

I completed the collection with the Tbird coors tires... https://i.imgur.com/As5N9z4.jpg Amon my research I started to talk with someone on another forums about moulding tires. From the discussion, I'm now convinced it is possible to do with a single part for the center mould. The flexibility of the...

People contacting me directly thru email while no post here?

Hi Not sure I'm the only one for which it happens, but from time to time I get some mail from "members" in this forum asking for help or for parts... What actually bugs me is that when I check the profile, the guys don't have a single post here, they did not even bothered to present themse...

It came with the box, Bill Eliot is brand new, new rims and tires (not even glued), chassis is new but missing the central shaft (I have one somewhere), and there is as well the manual. https://i.imgur.com/o...

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun

I remember talking with some friend and saying him that Optima rere design of the mobile parts at the front and rear are very close from the Marui parts. I just check, using some spacers it should fit without much effort at both front (C and hub carrier) and rear (hub carrier). It won't be exact mat...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...

I don't know why I got this appearing in my items proposals on Amazon, as I did not searched for that whil looking for some cables for the printer... But it appears that pulleys are easy to find in 20T and 16T GT2, and it is the same for timing belts in GT2 in different dimension... That may be a ve...
