I first added some room to give wider choice of Lipo packs https://i.imgur.com/SEBEICJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LA9nxIn.jpg Then I added some holes in order to be able to pass cables more easily (when you can, it really makes sense t...

Nice prints

Back in eighties, in France, there was a specific racing category for 1/10 electric powered wheelie cars... And the Super Wheelies were highly represented in that category... Many cars had supsension mods, with addition of hydraulic shocks, and there was even an article in one of the rc magazine to ...

I pursued the work on the rear side and adjusted shocks hook positions https://i.imgur.com/Ad2ggFX.jpg The setup will rely on a combined shock/spring, not like the front. Any other setup would require to work differently and make dramatic changes to the chassis... https://i.imgur.com/Ad2ggFX.jpg htt...

I will need to print body accessories for my almost fully printed model... I started to put the roll cage parts together with joints to be able to prepare the clusters... https://i.imgur.com/gBXIgfu.jpg Then I added all the accessories for the Super Wheelie bodies. The front part of the spare wheel ...

Some prints arrived today...


Most of the chassis parts for my Super Wheelie project and a lighter Idle gear for my Hunter...

The ball bearings were a bit loose (8.3mm for a target of 8.05 mm) on the first printed SLM version. The designed was updated to 8.2mm. And while at it, I also included some holes to try reduce as much as possible the weight of this thing... https://i.imgur.com/59WW67j.jpg I mounted it this morning,...

Some chassis parts printed in MJF PA12 arrived today... https://i.imgur.com/gsHtAaL.jpg I've already done some checks but without pictures so you'll get the results later :-) In the meantime I've done the remaining clusters... https://i.imgur.com/bMisgut.jpg One for the Big bear front arms ready for...

Super nice work!

This afternoon, i tried to export a dxf from Fusion360 to transofrm it in png, and it did not worked the way I wanted. I finally took a screenshot of the windows profile, and redimensionned it in Silhouette Studio, set the sequence of cutting : first pass for the holes, second for the glass surround...

WHile awaiting the part for other projects, I restarted to work on this Mugen Mercury... https://i.imgur.com/uii55qU.jpg The chassis is quite complex to measure for multiple reasons : it has everything to make it difficult : - plans are not parallel - length is too long for my caliper - and each cur...

Printed parts for my special project arrived today...


Eager to see the week-end starting...
