Scored a couple big bear projects lately and after thinking about it for a while I decided to create a chassis for one of em. Nothing crazy, with the very limited suspension I didn’t even bother accommodating oil shocks. Battery can fit sideways or lengthways, and it will support a shorty as well. B...

It was considered for sure, and still possible- but I wanted a bolt on kit with no cutting or modding needed. I will probably configure it for a single bellcrank in the center from my hotshot kit, and people would just need to buy longer tie rods to suit.

That's a nice test print , are you going to try to make a tire with it or go straight to a higher resolution ? , you would be able to go down to 0.08mm with a stock Ender and if you really want the details like writing and spikes to look as good as possible then maybe try a 0.2mm nozzle , the print ...

This is the first time I've been made aware of it happening. I'd venture a guess that it's not a common occurrence. Nevertheless though, it shouldn't happen at all if it can be helped. I'll look into the settings to see if there's one for disallowing members with no posts from contacting others via ...

It didn't look right with white wheels up front and chrome at the rear so I've taken the axles out of the Tamiya front hubs and turned them down to fit the Kyosho front bearings , I think it makes it look a bit tidier . While painting I was really nervous that it might not come out well or just look...

The front suspension set is now on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5507303

Well here we are. Finally.. i got this one, it was long and hard to find. 1/8 Chassis SERPENT 988e Taipan. 4 x 4 pancar type. Ref# 905001 This chassis will be the subject of all my attention while waiting to find a second one to possibly ride with. It will be equipped with: - complete stainless stee...

Stop it now
This is a place to post pictures of your runners after they get DIRTY
I'll get the ball rolling with my white Samurai after running on recently mown wet grass .

Dang. I had some great contributions for this topic

Sadly my cars are rarely ran so… now I have nothing

Oh wait! Does snow count?

Okay Dadio, now you're speaking my language. :D Do they need to be recent photos? I have these from a couple summers ago - when it used to rain here. :roll: P1010310.JPG P1010152.JPG P1010154.JPG This is what we have now - dryer than a popcorn fart. P1010202.JPG I need to stop the car every couple m...

I’m picturing 6x10x2.5 flanged bearings (MF106-ZZ) which would be 2.5mm and the flange is spec’d at .6mm wide and 11.2mm in diameter. That leaves some meat to fit the 5mm wide 13mm diameter hole pretty easily.

Clearly hirobo didn’t think about bearing sizes when they designed these things Cant we all just 5x8 and 5x11?

Tyre dia. 80mm width 32mm . 20 rows of studs in pairs and threes alternating. Studs 4.5x6mm with 1x3dimple. Dimple abt 1mm deep. Stud height 3mm. Triple row 25.5mm. double row 19.5mm. wheel dia 40mm

They look a bit worn and gluey, rims scratched. I'll post some pics of mine, maybe they'll help. I guess treads can be reconstructed in CAD The thing is that for being able to model a tire, I need proper measurement : I need to understand the way the profile looks, the thickness of the profile, the...
