https://i.imgur.com/s11KMnu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UhtCooB.jpg That looks uncomfortable for the driver. It's not the roof... It's a paint mask 3D printed to fit exactly the parts I wanted to keep with the original finish of the Nylon PA12 MJF... https://i.imgur.com/mlV9ILe.jpg (all details in my S...

I'm happy to report that my masking plan worked as expected. https://i.imgur.com/UhtCooB.jpg And the result is here... It's not perfect, but I'm quite happy, and the stickers will work (whenever they arrive)... https://i.imgur.com/JbS2Rr1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ARiZ8JB.jpg Still have to work out th...

I worked a bit on the driver, I will have to find a better driver or a better solution at some point, but for the time being, it will do the job... There is still a lot to do on that one... https://i.imgur.com/M0hHkgQ.jpg I also worked out the accesories, and the transluscent ABS snap on lenses fit ...

Bouncing Billy starts to get really impatient, now...

Almost 9 months mark on a project worth a picture...

Well, I took my stuff out of the car once back today from Vosgienne RC 2023, and RC car event in Tendon, Vosges, France... As usual, I went there with a few cars, and many of them actually ran during the event... https://i.imgur.com/H0FSOq6.jpg There was many discussions around 3D printing, just lik...

This Hirobo project is not finished, and today I got one more reason to trigger the rebuilt of my 44B chassis... A few months back, I did a CAD model for a bodyshell for the 44B Hilux.... https://i.imgur.com/2S3jOEo.jpg I believe the 210 mm wheelbase makes room to use the body on M chassis with some...

The vacuum formed body looks great. Well done sir! I've been looking for a means to make a light-weight alternative body for the SCX6 (OEM and aftermarket body options are extremely limited) and your proof of concept definitely offers some hope. Inching closer to buying a printer - for creating mol...

I'd be very tempted to trim, paint, detail and call it finished. It does look very good. So, your goal is a vacuum formed polycarbonate body? I envy guys like you. I can manage to stay with a project only about 3 weeks and if it isn't finished, it resides evermore in a junk box in the attic. :( Dou...

If I was to be hyper critical the roof looks a little high and changes the window profile in comparison to the original but really it's a superb job and I prefer the aesthetic of yours over the original that looks a bit crude . I noticed as well... The fact is, when I started this bodyshell, I did ...

Let me know how you get on finding a market for a niche within a niche product ...... I really need to know myself lol Well, started to contact the few french Hirobo fans I know having a 44B Hilux chassis. For some of them, they got the chassis without bodyshell... And I have my fingers to count :-)

There was a few Super Wheelies present in the event over the week-end... https://imgur.com/5jyUzHL.jpg https://imgur.com/wxr2pR2.jpg The Mitsubishi Jeep catched the people and generated a few 3D printing discussions, but I did not ran it. I won't run it until it has stickers on. The CJ-7 however ran...

My car is still waiting for stickers... In the meantime I'm doing some additional pictures to prepare the two future publications on Cults3D... One for the chassis and one for the bodyshell and accessories... https://i.imgur.com/gWYqCZ0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YJrQgmD.jpg I also prepared a small sup...

The complete radio box was already printed long time back by stevar who did not have any parts of the radiobox with his own 44B chassis. And it was perfectly adjusted in length and matching the profile of the rear gearbox parts... But that was not enough to validate the top of the radio box would ma...

Hirobo 44B/Zerda Pulley cover printed as well... https://i.imgur.com/Cpk0hTs.jpg it matches the rear gearbox (it was already tested by Andy from tamiyabase, but it was missing some space for the motor screws, which is the modification)... https://i.imgur.com/6FB9coU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8b2Jebr.j...
