RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Well, why limit to RC if you can do more serious stuff? That looks like a very serious workstation. :) Looks like you put a lot of work into it. Actually, I would argue that top RC drivers are probably phenomenal at RC racing games or racing games in general. They require the same skillset and dept...

It's out at Kyosho Fair. Images linked from Kyosho Corporation's Facebook page : https://scontent-mrs2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/272683492_2121336858013976_2344976040019465406_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=dHqemJ0vS4sAX8gYmc8&tn=S9odHiLmGfftJhvo&_nc_ht=scont...

Decided to restart my Fusion360 project from scratch yesterday night, to do it properly this time... https://i.imgur.com/YPCUTS4.jpg I do have now a model which allows me to play with the internal diameter of the tyre I want to put on the rim, the width of the rim, and the number of spokes. The spok...

I did a last thing on the Wild One... I may come back to it later on for some adjustment, but there will likely be some runs before... https://i.imgur.com/X53wh2I.jpg Mister Big Hands has now clocks to look at... https://i.imgur.com/Jm59JQ8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xjgaXfG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Hwr...

https://i.imgur.com/FoFbrh9.jpg This got me thinking the whole night. It's good, but it doesn't respect one thing of the Samurai design. Something disturbs me when I look at those pics. The rim diameter size difference of the original wheels is about 4mm. Front tires are lower profile than rear one...

Added one parameter, reviewed the slot internal diameter and it should be perfect now... https://i.imgur.com/WZd6N4R.png https://i.imgur.com/s28yNcg.png Edit : tweaked it so it become less obvious that the external ring is bigger... https://i.imgur.com/ODajQRP.png I think I'll need to reprint those :)

As mentioned in my Marui Samurai thread, the pictures from the previous post generated some discussion with optimaforever who highlighted the shortcomings of my silly approach to model the chassis. I decided to restart the work from scratch using a different approach. The idea being to build a body ...

Melted my brain for today :) Here is where I am... It definitely goes faster than what I thought initially. https://i.imgur.com/3A8gLHY.jpg I reviewed a lot of measurements within the day, and crosschecked also compared to the top half chassis... Part of what I have to do next is to position holes.....

I have now my second component. The RX box bottom part is defined...

Well, I don't have a clue yet... Today's lesson was that it is easier to see the symmetry axis of a gearbox when you have the gears visible inside... https://i.imgur.com/PE9avzz.jpg I started to model the left half of the gearbox... Almost used the full panel of my Confusion360 skills within a singl...

The work on the gear box continue... At this stage, I have three sketches for the gearbox. One for the profile, and the target is to use it as well for the right gearbox. https://i.imgur.com/LjJJ4MP.jpg It's not even complete as I added other things inside the sketch later on... I have another one f...

This morning I was not feeling well, so I dropped a message to my boss I'll get a day off and moved all my today's meeting before getting back to sleep... And around 11 this morning, I woke up, and decided to restart the work on the left half gearbox... First work out the supports of the suspension ...

Yesterday, I made a lot of progress... I started during the lunch break by doing some reverse engineering of two parts closing the gearbox on the motor side... https://i.imgur.com/RsrWSQx.jpg Once you have it done, it looks definitely easier to understand - I guess I will have less difficulty next t...

The gearbox is printed... Time to do some checks. https://i.imgur.com/cXOPZOh.jpg First, the mesh is good. Next step, trying to fit it with the right one... https://i.imgur.com/8zIGXnT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AqHs07j.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mO8Ebjt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w4PS8WR.jpg Good : meshed, ...
