Re: Marui Hunter - My first buggy... Found one to restore :-) - and a Galaxy RS too :)

Don't ask me why, but I woke up way too early this morning for a Sunday... Time to work on the Galaxies :-) First I put an ESC in the red one. It's fixed with 3M velcro, and there is a velcro band at the same place on the blue. I checked the motor everything is ok on both cars (I do not plan to run ...

Re: Marui Hunter - My first buggy... Found one to restore :-) - and a Galaxy RS too :)

Looking very good as a group ! And all in running condition with the modifications you made . :D Yeah, I even tested the Galaxy in the living room, and there is nice drift trace now on the ground... I need to clean that, otherwise my wife won't be happy when she'll be back from the poney club :-D I...

Re: Ultima RT5 modernized custom 3D printed chassis.

HiTec , it seems you do a lot of test prints. Out of curiosity, did you find a way to repurpose your PLA test prints back into filament, or is it lost? I'm asking as I noticed that I often need to do 3 or 4 prints to get a part right. Ultimately, it's not a lot of PLA, but it may turn to be a lot w...

Re: Ultima RT5 modernized custom 3D printed chassis.

HiTec , Dadio , Thanks for your hints, I see how much I still have to learn :-), and you are both part of the reasons I started to post in this forum, as your projects were fascinating for me (and overal, the level of the work shared by some people here is just incredible). I'm still at the beginni...

Re: Ultima RT5 modernized custom 3D printed chassis.

I would love this to be a free of charge, simple downloadable .stl, with licence that denies using it for making money with it. I just dont know how to do it. Some people violated the licence with my Ultima ST parts, when they started to sell the parts from my designs with some clear, serious profi...

Re: Ultima RT5 modernized custom 3D printed chassis.

It's very hard to guess what is going to sell , there are quite a few parts that are either on Shapeways or Thiniverse for free that I though would move fast but have not moved much or at all , even some of the parts that are relatively cheap on Shapeways don't get any interest , I though that once...

Re: Marui Hunter - My first buggy... Found one to restore :-) - and a Galaxy RS too :)

Coelacanth I just found this that may be of interest. It is priori to the Galaxy introduction, but it really gives a view of what was the state of the art ep off road racers in 1985... https://i.imgur.com/smoLmhM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6ASlV2H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9ZKpIpY.jpg https://i.imgur.co...

Re: Marui Hunter - My first buggy... Found one to restore :-) - and a Galaxy RS too :)

Dadio , Well, I found 17 issues of Model Cars Monthly recently on ebay, and it was acceptable price and I was a bit curious :mrgreen: (specially because I knew I would find at least the Hunter review from that magazine in one of the issues, as well as the Tomahawk and the Hotshot, which are part of...

Re: Marui Hunter - My first buggy... Found one to restore :-) - and a Galaxy RS too :)

I went to a friend's place today to gather a Galaxy RS roll cage as my son would prefer a Galaxy instead of a Hunter... I'll need to model the Galaxy specific parts (shock stays, super structure and roll cage stays)... https://i.imgur.com/KvI276R.jpg And the Galaxy roll cage came with something else...

xx for the year of release with 59 corresponding to 1984 According to this: http://www.meijigakuin.ac.jp/~watson/ref/mtsh.html that is correct, for Showa 59 (Japanese year numbering according to emperor rule). Thanks for this. I did not search for the year numbering explanation in detail. That is a...

Re: Kyosho Turbo Optima Legendary series - 30619

I had some torsion on my Turbo Op rere chassis. I think the culprit was the rear gearbox. the parts were a little bit skewed and therefore the front and rear gearboxes weren't perfectly aligned. After I screwed the upper plate and the mid spacer it wasn't that obvious anymore but it's surprised me ...
