My father's an orthodontist (retired)...carefully twisting and bending wires is a big part of the job, practically an art form.

There is a new Facebook page created and it sounds like Bolink is coming back. I believe some of the body molds went to RJ Speed and RC Car Kings, and the Legends platforms went to RJ, but it sounds like the trademark has a new owner. This will be cool, I never expected to see rere Bolinks!

Thanks man, It was well priced so I couldn't resist.
Now for that Caliber 3p..

That's the one I'm after too (3ps)

I think your right about release date ; mid '94 look good.

Here are a few updated photos. I am leaving the electronics off for now.

Top notch craftsmanship on display here!

Really nice work! I'm eager to see the finished project.

It seems almost wrong to ask but are you going to paint it ? I'm loving the Steam Punk flavour it has in bare metal .

Wow that is some really fine work! It is already brass / gold naturally. What would a metalized buffing coat of some "metal" type and then a clear coat of appropriated finish look like?

Its also very cheap and if you don't like the finish it will come off with media blasting or just paint over .

that stuff is INSANE

I love it!

Very cool, sandkil. That cable tension adjuster is really trick!!

Again, very nice work - you are a master craftsman sir.

BTW - love seeing the 996 in the background. I've come very close to buying a 1:1 on at least a couple occasions -- what a great bike!

Yes, superb work my friend . Digging the steering servo enclosed within an engine block, very slick!

Every moment you've spent on this project shows in the results !
