The roll bar fits in place... https://i.imgur.com/fAdBJan.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/h8n3eOf.jpeg Obviously, this is not definitive mount : I must do paintjob first... Front buckets are printed... https://i.imgur.com/GUill25.jpeg I designed rear led buckets as...

My wife said I need to give the driver a helmet
This is not going to be easy with ears of my driver... I tried to draw something in Fusion360... That should make it...

The work is done



I applied primer once back from the office today... Wet sanding to do, then another thin layer of white primer, then it will be time for color...

Slowly but surely, it starts to take shape... https://i.imgur.com/EFjm1n2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/b12zkpo.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/DjC5S6M.jpeg I started to reassemble the car. The rear train and the motor (finally opted for a 540 Torque Tuned) are now in place. I've put a 15T pinion on the motor (...

Electronics is installed on a specific plate set on the floor of the bathtub... All nuts are placed within the plate for the case I have to change something on the setup on the field, and this will avoid to fight with nuts moving out of the tub... https://i.imgur.com/1ZOuXvm.jpeg I put the pilote in...

The driver has now a safety belt!

Everythings is now in order, and it is time to finish it, really... A quick search on internet to search a jpg of a logo, a 2 minutes activity in Silhouette Studio, the cut, and then we start to transfer something on the bonnet :-). I had a Dune buggy in my mind, from when I was not even a teenager,...

It is not exactly about today, but it's today that I sorted the pictures taken by my son... Saturday and Sunday, we were in Montluçon again for the Montluçonnaise - Speciale edition... A full week-end of Vintage RC... I set my stand arriving early on Saturday morning as usual. This time there was ab...

My Fantom ran on Sunday. At some point I handed my remote to one of the guys of the club to take a quick video... There was another Fantom (non EXT) on the track at the same time...

how much mAh does the charge claim it's charging to? The battery could just be bad, looks like a amazon special right? Some of those are notorious for improper mAh ratings and just poor quality. Also willing to bet that deans plug knockoff is actually made of steel and not copper, see if a magnet s...

The diff is in place... This is my own diff, not the original one. The original one would be usable as well. https://i.imgur.com/oVrq8ap.jpeg Then I close the bottom face of the gearbox... And forgot to take a picture :) Next was the idle gear. I have the custom diff, so this is custom idle gear. It...

I did a short trip to Vosgienne Vintage RC event yesterday... I've put everything in place and my lipos are going to storage mode currently.

Lot of work during the week for the office, it took a bit more time than expected to get the car finished... I derived a bit from the real one you could see on one picture as I implemented a Hunter monoshock, the Samurai driver (from The Optima House) and the leds/number plate holder. But beside thi...

I'm in My entry is the Marui Racing Buggy, aka Hunter prototype (at very least, this is the inspiration, from a single picture) https://i.imgur.com/X7RrfXd.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hXNwRk6.jpeg Again, this is relying a lot on 3D printed parts : At the very exception of the wheels (orginals from a Ma...
