Some very cool builds that are stalled.

More parts, more chances to have one missing, more "chances" to have an unfinished project, maybe?

One of the guys on the french formu rc-vintage proposed me to do some foam tires. They came in donuts os 10mm thickness to assemble on the rims. https://i.imgur.com/WSbqJZu.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/HzHZAoX.jpeg I now have a set of foam tires. they are at an undefined shore higher than the Fantom tir...

Another non rc related use of my printers. TPU is an amazing material https://i.imgur.com/w39OSdk.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/QnjRgrA.jpeg https://makerworld.com/en/models/1342470-heavy-duty-blade-for-ryobi-loan-trimmer I'm impressed how long the printed TPU blades worked :they last longer than the ori...

A bit later... I finally took the time to do the paintjob and almost finish this car... https://i.imgur.com/iDpmsGu.jpeg The lexan wing is quite exposed, and I'm just realist on my capacities as a driver : it won't last long. I decided to do something about that with a TPU wing. https://i.imgur.com/...

Aïzia, young Australian Sheperd just joined the family on Tuesday... Adaptation with Nooshka goes well, as well with the 2 cats of the house...

The Montluçonnaise is taking place in one week from now. It's time for the last bit of preparation. The event is on 4 days, and on the road track, there is light in the evening which allows for night running time... Which means that to have it realistic, we need lights on the car... That was the pla...

Sticker time! As usual, I wanted a 9 rather than a 2. Other elements are basically from the kit stickers, but the 9 was designed using the plotter and 2 different vinyls... https://i.imgur.com/uWE5Mri.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/pwgdZcA.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/7xnStWs.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/uICNvPN....

The Montluçonnaise is nos in less than 4 days. I decided yesterday there will be one car built on the track during the event... I did print a full set of part, and tires will be delivered onsite during the event. And I rushed the design of the bodyshell supports for a Porsche 917K by Delta Plastik (...

Event is getting closer and closer.

I'll be easy to spot on site

Time to get ready and pack everything... https://i.imgur.com/nwYk3dm.jpeg 25 cars, and I hope I've not forgot anything... The van is looking quite empty... I did not consider bringing more : I'm going to fetch a friend on the way, and I do not know the room he needs for his material... And I know th...

Your runs were very pleasant to see, very smooth and the car looked great on the track... And for sure, your pit table was amazing : clean and super organized...

I need to check what I have recorded as well... I may have some nice vids as well...

Like most all of us, I used to race in a galaxy, and a life, far far away now. But after 2 years of collecting/building and thanks to many people on rc10talk, 36 years after last being on the track (last race 1989 On-Road Oval Nat's)...This is my Composite Craft Predator Lynx....at the track and FI...

Back from the event yesterday... It was great, and I have a few elements to sort out : in particular pics, vids, and getting the vids from my cars that my friends took while I was getting nice runs with them... https://i.imgur.com/ZM9O28x.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/rkBiX2Y.jpeg I will have to properly...

The Vaillante won the 1/12 race, although I suspect the organizer got this framed looking at the first curve events :-) The car handles great, and both configuration were running great, as long as we have the right tires (Kyosho Fantom wheels with the center hole redrilled to the right diameter is t...
