Re: Spaceframe Chassis for Hotshot

I attach the other screws M3x10 should suffice.
Always pretap the threads before as it can be hard sometimes (use a big handle screwdriver helps)

Re: Spaceframe Chassis for Hotshot

The Hotshot and Supershot bodies don't fit on the chassis but the Hotshot 2 body does.

Re: Again another Marui project : Super Wheelie and Big Bear!

That's out of the park Mark :!: excellent job 8) Looks super modern with the satin finish but if you go that way I think decals would look out of place .... any idea what colour you'd go for if you paint it ? either way the dashboard needs detailing for the dials and radio . Must have been a huge si...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

PA6 CF prints so well , printed some Mini Mustang arms and once I pressed in the ball studs they are free and smooth , often when you print a ball joint you have to hone them a bit , very impressed with the dimensional accuracy . 20230902_153151.jpg These arms and hubs are modified to use HotShot do...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

Interesting... I have some PA12 HT CF and PETG CF at home but did not tried to print yet with them... Time will come, as I have something in mind, but right now I'm focused on something else... I also heard about PC being very interesting for RC, and I must recognize I'm tempted to try... And the P...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

All my nylons and PC are in sealed dry boxes with silica packs in and with bowdan tubes to the printer , as you say you get a few months before drying again , I don't really bother with PLA other than having it in large tubs with silica packs but not that well sealed . The Mini Mustang is coming alo...

Re: Again another Marui project : Super Wheelie and Big Bear!

You need a lot of plastic bags to put the grouped parts in and a box that's taped shut and your parents to hand it to you for the propper Christmas experience .

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

Drew up the steering components and chassis plate for the Mini Mustang , I combined the chassis plate with the under tray that's usually a lexan part, printed in PA6 CF Nylon for the steering and the plate in PETG CF. 20230905_121053.jpg 20230905_121113.jpg 20230905_121031.jpg The chassis plate once...

Re: Big Bear Resurrection

OK, I was hesitant at first but I think you guys were right. I like it better now. Also used a silver paint pen to paint the "Datsun" lettering on the sides and grill. I'm done with it for real now.
