I just can't do it all anymore. I'm teaching Eddie starting with tinkercad and he will be doing my cad work in the future so I can concentrate on more important work.
When I moved to Missouri back in 97, I was pleasantly surprised to accidentally stumble upon Bob Chandler's shop. :D Funny to think... one day you're just driving along and all the sudden... "Holy crap... Bigfoot!" :D They hold R/C monster truck races there too, which is pretty cool.

This will require some careful modification to fit this chassis. Both the case and the RPM arm mounts will need to be reshap...

I reprinted the custom parts in a material that has a natural nylon color instead of starting as a transparent nylon. This material also seems to have similar properties to the nylon that was used for RC10 parts. Rebuilding is mostly done. Just need to swap new outdrives into the diff assembly and w...
