Ok the corrections on the Mini Mustang chassis are done now I can move on to making the left and right side details .

Think the shorty lipo chassis is ready . chassis 3 v5 v13.jpg chassis 3 v5 v131.jpg chassis 3 v5 v142.jpg I looked into pricing for Shapeways and its just under the £120 mark delivered in the UK , I can't see that being very popular so I'm going put the files on Cults3d for a few quid and then peopl...

haha! no thanks! I quickly learned how complex things get when adding simple joints and such, animating a belt would be a lot of wasted time!

@silvertriple ,I really was joking

Sorry I forgot to look!

Base of the cylinder 6mm diameter approx 1mm tall
Base of cone 4.5mm diameter approx 4mm tall

Any guesses what this might be ?

It gets worse , I'm thinking gRassC10
