The LiPo battery operates this fully functioning TDP vette, and will be getting ...

The knockoffs are too short for the axles, turned out to be a lot of work again

TDP vette will live on this 4:3 retro TV, for as long as I own them both.


The end.

Don't even have to be a fan of Mopar, or the color red, to appreciate that one. Nice!

These are the Tamiya Falcon tires (still sold new on ebay), they say Off Roader on the sidewall, and are the closest thing to the vintage Tamiya Holiday Buggy tires, the ones that JJH used in the '85 IFMAR race. https://i.imgur.com/CbGghbf.jpg The Falcon tires have one extra spike on each side of th...

Got the driver height corrected. https://i.imgur.com/8CMS0b4.jpg Despite the helmet, without any iris or pupils painted on, he's merely Born to be Mild. I'll get better at painting eyes someday and fix that. https://i.imgur.com/ngRTque.jpg Didn't add a 3D printed engine or passengers, left the US ta...

The absorption rate for PLA does appear to be very low. Remnants from my first roll have been left in the printer for a couple months now and it's still pliable. I reckon it will make an acceptable print despite never have been dried. PLA, however, isn't easy to sand to remove layer lines. Could AB...

Yes-sir, looks fantastic!! Every RC collection needs at least one Scorcher and yours is perfect. BTW, considering the era this car came from, maybe your driver would be sitting on a stack of phone books? :wink: Very kind of you to say, thank you sir! The camera seems to be hiding some of the lesser...

Being that this is XLR8 's 3D printed Challenger Cuda thread, I can only stay on topic by restating that the instructions call for printing this model in PLA. I have PETG, and I am probably using it for different reasons than most of you all. Case in point: https://i.imgur.com/XosSTrZ.jpg All the wh...

Got the threaded stubs shortened. https://i.imgur.com/5ekIHhi.jpg Tamiya wheels and RC10 knockoffs are solid now. https://i.imgur.com/jJDqnlx.jpg Had these laying around, the motor is a definite yes, would like to find an era correct Tekin ESC in black and chrome, someday. https://i.imgur.com/D6HRre...

The Dhawk-Racing RC10 knockoffs not being polished, in contrast against the polished Pargu wheel covers, didn't look right to me. https://i.imgur.com/jJDqnlx.jpg Loaded myself up with more work than I anticipated, once again, by starting to polish a knockoff to match the shiny wheel. Then took the w...

The devil is in the details! Nq6YgSIdMqE Wheel covers are done and are showing the rag box in the reflection, decent shine, but the knockoffs are taking forever. Still only about 3/4 done with the one on the right, knockoff on the left is untouched. https://i.imgur.com/p48tRjU.jpg Gives me more tim...

I believe it's worth trying. BTW, could you please post another link to that video? I can't see it in your original post for some reason. thanks. The software and scan app is free, I think it's worth a try too. Might take me a bit to get something with good LiDAR though. Here's a direct link to the...

Used a Futaba FP-S148 for era correctness, and called it done with the knockoffs and tire-writing. https://i.imgur.com/UXhWTv3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sWi7H0M.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VihAw7e.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MoOYUkD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w9gBJMN.jpg The body and paint are next.
