Tonight, I did only one part... Measurement is hard as would say Dadio :-) I first made a sketch which holds 90% of the rear gearbox left side. It was hard to measure, and I have to pull a gear calculator and count the gears teeth in order to make sure I have the right measurements... https://i.imgu...

After the shocks, time to deal with the internals... I started by the "simple things" :) https://i.imgur.com/jbnDAne.jpg Then I took care of the differential bevel gears... https://i.imgur.com/sdpgKBq.jpg Next the output/inputs bevel gears... And I need to find the motor pinions, I should ...

I did not post yesterday, but that was intense work... I started to deal with the bevel gears for the central joints. I started to check the position of the cone inside the gearbox. https://i.imgur.com/jPGaTrP.jpg The way those bevel gears 18T mod 1 are built is basically variant of the same bevel g...

Before starting something else, I took two additional snapshots of the Coors chassis...

Broke a Big Bear chassis in 3 stl so a friend can print it on his small printer...

Thanks for this, Dadio ... Looking at the gears I got printed for the Hunter and the Nichimo, they all worked straight out of Fusion, printed in SLS or MJF, but this is not exactly the same... And for what I intend to do : i'll print in PLA because of the low shrinkage as the target is only dimensio...

Today, I got some pictures from my friend Bormac ... He allowed to share them. It was about the Midships bodyshell attempt... Just a few reminders before the pics : - this is a dimensional test, which means the mould was taken straight out of the printer and the vac forming was done without any addi...

After a few hiccups my printer is back online... I had some hard time with it to the point I'm more and more considering than rather than buying new old cars, at some point I should trhow it and replace it by something more reliable... Anyway, today, I started the test prints for the Big Bear/ Super...

After the print of the bevel gear 27T confirmed I could be slightly more optimistic about prints, I launched the full Big Bear gear set I checked after a few layers to see it was ok to continue... https://i.imgur.com/uDX8lBE.jpg And it was... 2 hours later, I had the full gear set on the bed. https:...

Gearbox parts are printed... https://i.imgur.com/gYiXrdn.jpg Good : - it matches the profile of the original gearbox, and holes positions are correct, axles as well, and on all faces... Bad or mixed... - it is really tight with the arms axes. I'll recheck the measurements, but I may have to review t...

The chassis itself is a nightmare to measure, in all the directions, with a similar type of complexity as the Marui Samurai chassis... I had some checks, and what I thought initially to be a common plan was not... https://i.imgur.com/jLuEfXp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PnWYnK5.jpg In terms of approach, ...

After my last post, I worked out the Bumper... https://i.imgur.com/CAmOEBA.jpg And it was very quickly added to the chassis... https://i.imgur.com/wfmiBLm.jpg Then I had a look in the box where I store the parts https://i.imgur.com/CDsCYjB.jpg On the left side, plastic parts already modelled. on the...

it took a whlile to arrive with some additional delays but it is finally here... I finally have a Marui CJ-7 Golden Eagle Super Wheelie... https://i.imgur.com/UtuVG8v.jpg And in the box there is one car (black body) and 75% of the second one (white body, new) : missing a chassis, transmission, rear...

I generally love the box art technical diagrams and pics... Having a CAD model of a full car allows to play a bit with what you can show... 2WD transmission focus https://i.imgur.com/e0tJVs8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wB7PZXE.jpg 4WD transmission focus https://i.imgur.com/RNn64Dl.jpg https://i.imgur.co...

Spend some time to do a cluster with the full Big Bear gear set in strengthened version (module .8). I also added whatever was needed to complete it for the Super Wheelie, within the same mod and a ratio as close as possible than the original gearset in module .6, and since I had many Hunter / Galax...
