Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
The two rows of smaller bearings vs the one row of larger ones imo would be worth the time and effort. Instead of the axle support only in the middle, it would have support both on the inside and outside of the axles bearing surface The bearing size I saw in the manual was 6x15 (696ZZ), is it actua...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
Clearly hirobo didn’t think about bearing sizes when they designed these things :lol: Cant we all just 5x8 and 5x11? :mrgreen: Let's remeber they were the first to deliver a car full ball raced. They might had an approach slightly empiric, based on availability and costs (same as Akira Kogawa when ...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
Within the last straight line for the Hirobo Bearcat SS push to Thingiverse... It's currently about finetuning and test print... I started by trying printing a topdeck section to check my chassis measurements. The print failed multiple times, and therefore I stopped trying and just checked the dimen...

Re: Your top five cherished RC (by manufacture) in a collection?
that is a difficult topic for me... - Marui Samurai - Kyosho Optima (would be hesitating between my Turbo Optima and Javelin) - Kyosho Turbo Scorpion (although I could be tempted to put the Tomahawk here, but same as the Optima, there is so much in common between the 2 I'm cheating and making it one...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
A new project started with arrival of a few parts today. This is not a complete car, but those parts are in very good condition (basically new) and did not cost a lot, so it was a no brainer... https://i.imgur.com/6EOkw7m.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XKqwFG7.jpg Hirobo 44B chassis parts...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
1mm split pins on eBay are cheap as chips and easy to find , can't see the point of messing about making them . Thanks Dadio ! Great as I just order what is needed for a few bucks. A new proof that searching with the right reference leads to solution out of rc world for a fraction of the rc world c...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
I finally got my bearings... I will have to get 4 MF106 for the rear axles tomorrow, but in the meantime, I can start. Step one, put the gearbox together... I had to get help regarding the screws to be used as they are not documented in the manual (the car originally came with the gearbox assembled,...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
I had hope to find some MF106K bearings today thanks to a friend at the club, but it did not work... I've ordered some. In the meantime, i've taken bearings 6x15x5 for the rear axle carrier to continue this build... https://i.imgur.com/A3gsUGW.jpg The wobble is definitely present, and the MF106K bea...

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun
A bit of Ninja love yesterday evening... I had the wheels model already, but while i'm still having target to try reproduce tires, if I want to run my Ninja before that, I will need rims adapted to available tires... I decided to apply the same principle as the Samurai wheels... I first focused on t...

Re: Hirobo Bearcat SS - Let's start something else...
Having virtual images rendered from the work you made on Fusion 360 is actually great (nb: he is not only working on Fusion360, he added some magic in other tools). And he allowed me as well to spot some mistakes which are now corrected on Thingiverse as well... The fact is : this time I've not prin...

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun
I decided to print a White Ninja rim set for a friend who have a Ninja with a red bodyshell. I'm going to see him in the next few days as I have a car sitting for him since July in my pile of boxes (some stuff he bought without seeing it and he asked me to get it for him)... I took a very different ...
