Re: Marui Hunter "enhanced" re-created with 3D printing

Hello HiTec I just registered in the forum because of your "Hunter" tread. My first RC was the Marui Hunter. My father gave it to me as a birthday present when I was 12. He helped me put it together and I had a lot of good times with it... Many good memory's. Now I have 2 boys, they starte...

Re: Hirobo 44Bs and Zerda :)

The front bulkhead is a pain to measure and copy exactly , I had the same problem with the angles on the front .

Re: Hirobo 44Bs and Zerda :)

There's a roll bar/body support at the rear of the battery box and a support post goes on the centre bolt of the bumper fixing points.have you got them or do you want dimensions.
Also alternative body posts kit for other body options.

My newest Ultima re-re (Tomahawk body)

Hi everyone, Kind of bored on Friday night. Thought I'd post a few pics of my latest Ultima build. It has a Tomahawk body. I painted this body up to be my runner . The body was purchased off ebay from someone parting out a kit and it was pre-cut version. As such, I don't love the cut lines behind th...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

Looking forward to trying these , still waiting on a spray booth with extraction before I try . These are those ultra real chrome for Lexan and airframe polished aluminium airbrush paints , it's kind of a whole lot of stuff from black gloss micro filler primer , a special gloss clear coat that doesn...

Dadio's Airbrush Play

I recently got curious about the new wave of chrome effect paints that came out with real mirror finish results , previously I'd been looking at electro plating but it involves gallons of chemicals and some quite accurate control of voltages requiring an expensive power supply and really was looking...

Re: Dadio's Airbrush Play

Now I moved on to the Lexan chrome painted from behind , now this still needs backing in black but the matt primer makes no difference to the finish . https://i.imgur.com/z5KaroLl.jpg this really is like a mirrored finish . Further playing and I was curious what effect I could get with clear candy c...

Re: Dadio's Airbrush Play

I finally summoned the nerve to try the new paints on a body , I've had this Mini Mustang body waiting for 6+ months , these are candy colours faded in with chrome on the sides and aircraft fuselage aluminium through the centre section then all backed with black , the chrome colours show every littl...

Re: SERPENT 988e Taipan

Work on this marvellous body! I'm going to try to make the rear wing stay to match the original as well as possible, as well as a test for the rollbar, so here's the first draft (this evening I'm working on the V2).

Re: SERPENT 988e Taipan

Jérôme, I already given my opinion on Tinkercad... This is already complex parts your are doing here. I believe you would have interest to quickly move into Fusion360... Nice work, that being said... Thank you! I know, i will go on fusion360 or SW when i will have a new computer ;) ----------------...

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun

I'd have cheated with the front gearbox top fixing , I'd have got it pretty close then printed a test piece to see how badly off it was then corrected the model and gone again lol :lol:
