The sixteen cars I went with in Montluçonnaise 2023 all made at least a few laps of run during the event... https://i.imgur.com/bN5DWwO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/f7ODn3l.jpg And this included the Big Bear, the Super Wheelie and the Hunter (I still need to mount a video of the runs :-) )... The Big Bea...

As mentioned, I ran both the Samurai and the Ninja on the offroad track, during Montluçonnaise 2023... The printed tires performed well in both case. I'm very happy with the traction and they way the cars behave with them... And there was a short movie made at the end of the Samurai run (the last fe...

Tires test print resumed today, following some mail exchanges and advisory provided by the resin manufacturer. I launched a modified versions of both front and rear tires, to ease the printing. Few hours later... https://i.imgur.com/VhMOFGO.jpg The rear is a clear fail and I still do not understand ...

Some progress...

The front tire is nice. And better, I can reproduce it




That being said, I did not succeed to pull a rear tire yet...
Launched another different test. We'll see later...

Another test, another fail... https://i.imgur.com/l8LdEcL.jpg This is so frustrating... I decided to give up for today... It seems at some point the print splits or is not raised enough or too quickly... The good news in this is that the filter funnel i ordered is perfect to empty the VAT... I still...

Built and finished a TT-01E for my daughter so she has a car for a next event beside her Lunchbox... https://i.imgur.com/FMlCbpn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YbZNp3Z.jpg She likes pink and she wants it fluo :-) https://i.imgur.com/FgU2QJH.jpg And here is the final result next to my own CLK-GTR (based on ...

I really like this kind of moment when you see something and in your mind you think "But what the h*** did the designer wanted to do?"

A new bodyshell, more vintage like for the M05 (that I'll shorten specially for this) https://i.imgur.com/UMCFQIw.jpg And a very oldschool NIB https://i.imgur.com/ERare0M.jpg SG Gemini SLX 1/12, directly incoming from 1981, with a Lola T600 bodyshell https://i.imgur.com/7S8nodg.jpg The chassis itsel...

They did manage to release it with a different name and body but I've never seen one up for sale. As per the stickers sheet, there was three models : the Monster, the Super Hawk (a shop nearby had an identified body, which I sent the link to a friend, and he bought it, never saw any kit up for sale...

I think monster is a perfect descriptive name for it. It's such a composition of different design styles. What's really weird is like Hirobo , Ishipla was known for helicopters and in the 80s they were rocket science compared to buggy s . Well... But if you look at the first Hirobo car, it's quite ...

Thanks! I'm thinking I could repurpose som...

https://i.imgur.com/NGBZCPt.jpg Infill set to cubic-5% seems to be a nice spot. Maybe I should reduce bottom and top walls (there is currently 6, and 3 wall loops) as the sides seems to be slightly too rigid. I'll probably launch another print with 4 or 5 wall loops. The real question I have is to ...

I just updated the files on Thingiverse, Cults3D and Printables with a version of the repair parts designed to suit Frog body mounts...

Well, that was not really today, but it took a bit of time to sort the pics. There was a vintage event nearby over the week-end, and I went there the two days... https://i.imgur.com/nSATOHA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uJpbX9C.jpg Almost nothing broken : - a shock tower bent on the Turbo Optima - a rollc...
