Time to call it done. The motor was connected this morning. And this afternoon, I took care of the finition and the stickers. Some of the stickers are coming from the kit, and some have been prepared by myself (either because what is within the kit are not white, either because I wanted something el...

Finally, the Turbo Optima made its first run today in the garden. I could have done it one the track, but where I was, there was a tremplin in the middle track with no possible shortcut, and I was not ready to get the first run of the Turbo Optima there due to this (I did not really succeed to pass ...

Hi HiTec and welcome in my thread :)! Great work! I think my "Super" arms would fit great to one of those chassis. 8) https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Marui%20Hunter%20rear%20lower%20arms%20universal%20shim%20compatible%20super%20arms%20v8.png/_medium.jpg https://hitecmod...

The gearbox cover with rear susp supports looks awesome btw! I might have to silently use that idea in my own chassis as well, cause that looks slick! Your parts also look great, already saw them in thingiverse. Hats off for your great work! My problem is that i have almost ready chassis, but i hav...

Painting a body without visual feedback with a transparent overspray film is challenging. After the paint here is the final result https://i.imgur.com/SmT1kcR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1vKfY1m.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tNWllqB.jpg Blue traces even appear where I did not saw them, but with the time I spe...

Few pics of the body on the car... The driver remain to be done (Ideally, I should make a 3D scan of the driver before doing the paint) https://i.imgur.com/V1kfNax.jpg https://i.imgur.com/17r8n6r.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4WpXnNe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kjCwqRT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w44aAQV.jpg

The package arrived today, and waited patiently I'm home to get opened... I'm please to say now that if have no more reasons to keep my active search for Marui Hunter or Galaxy on ebay and other sites, as here is what I received today: https://i.imgur.com/aYkECxb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K8cd1mq.jpg ...

After the cleaning, I decided to start the red galaxy. I need some room, so the best way is to get the parts that are not in a box waiting for other parts to join a châssis and become a car... As planed when I set my bid on the red Galaxy, I swapped the chassis. As all the parts beside the chassis w...

I remember back in the day, after I built a Hunter for my cousin and the Galaxy for my bro...and wanted a car to best them all, I hoped for a Frog. I got The Frog for my birthday. I remember us bashing around those cars, and it seemed that Galaxy always ran and handled better than the supposedly su...

Tires look to be Marui, but the wheels are not for the Hunter and Galaxy... Probably one of the Super Wheelie series...
