Couldn't find one in the shops near me ended up making a Amazon Japan account and shipped one to my hotel.
I also ordered one of these and it should be here tomorrow.

Not really by post but Unpacking my stuff from my return from Japan. Got a few small things aside from the GForce Genova. Getting Kyosho stuff is a tad easier to get over there especially this perpetually out of stock LeMans brushless motors. The Hitec motor i kinda just got to toss in the Genova wh...

So I recently made a trip to Japan and decided to pick up a Genova while I was there. Tidy box with items logically packed IMG_20230910_175819396.jpg Despite the instructions being in Japanese this was a pretty easy build.

Dominator's Airbrushing came back to me yesterday with the painted body, based on Masami's current livery.
Electronics layout for now.

That thing is ridiculously fast. Almost wonder if you need to install some air brakes to slow her down.

I don't know much about them but it looks rather short wheelbase wise, like it's a buggy chassis. Maybe it's just the angle of the photos though.

Here's a different PSI XXX-T

Personally I do something close to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekRkDZfD9sw

I think the idea of the water bath is to prevent arching between comm segments and flush away any carbon deposits. It speeds up the break in process a lot as well. Most closed can motors feature brushes that are extremely hard and not at all conformed to the surface of the com and out of the box is...

Decided to take the Factory Works comical chassis out of it's bag and strap some parts to it. More to come later but since the parts car had JRX-T wheels on it decided to see how silly a Mini JRX-T body looks on it. fun fact it's almost the same wheelbase just ALOT wider.

Only a buggy has the "comical" effect. A truck just looks like a smaller monster truck. That's until you see it from the top or front and it looks ridiculous as it's wider than it is long but also if I do the same thing with an actual 1/10 scale body it;ll look a lot more comical. IMG_202...

It's kinda got a cartoony effect going on. Being on a comical chassis I think it counts. Maybe the body could be moved back slightly and cut so it'd sit lower with the towers poking out to get the fully adorkable appearance? Left alone if it's being enjoyed as is? ...Mr. Owl would have the answer.....

Okay, now I’m done, so I figured I’d go down my 5-link runner build, here goes: Junior 2 chassis XX-T retrofit trans w/22 5.0 slipper MIP XX CVDs w/XXX Gen 2 axles Vintage RC lipo holder (modified) Robinson side bulkheads Factory Works chassis brace, steering and rear shock tower Jammin’ Pro SE fro...

Swearing off this spaz stix liquid mask. Literally. IMG_20231015_151848771.jpg Basically turned this new body into a practice bodysince all the details i wanted to add got borked. 3rd time this stuff has kicked my ass. Works fine till paint is on it then it get super brittle and refuses to come off....

Currently...after repairs and modifications

I have to say that car held up pretty damn great for all the hell you put it through!

First test print of the front tire. This is probably a usable tire but the back side is pretty ugly. I want to mess around with the settings and also look at softer compounds. I have a rear tire on the printer now. Even though we are only doubling the dimensions to go from 1/10 to 1/5, volumetrical...
