Your goodies should arrive tomorrow and you can compare stuff. The rear arms were a giant pita and I modeled them close but far from exact. The offset I came up with was 1.6° and no toe built into the arm- although I was able to measure a tiny bit of toe OUT by maybe 1/4 of a degree. Seemed like it ...

The answer should be in your mailbox today

I left the carrier as close to original as I could and I agree with all those holes the chances of breakage are high but it just looks “right” with em. On the clips, I left them open but not really snappable. I wanted the look but wasn’t concerned about the functionality since we don’t have the cor...

I measured the wire at .053” which is 16ga wire. For now I cut the stock wire in half and rebent.

Finally got the Factory Works Pro rear shock tower installed. The lower middle shock holes seem to be ideal. At first I tried the lower outer holes like the Proformance manual recommends..but the springs rubbed the trailing links. Now to start trimming the body… https://i.postimg.cc/ydbrBbfy/2-AF975...

Got the chassis protector, and decals put on. This thing is pretty sweet.

Oh yeah mini showed up a couple days ago and has a funky beauty mark across the chassis lol

The QC PASS sticker is the icing on that cake

Looks good! I think 2” is a good compromise for scale look and tire choices. I would prefer the Jrxt 3pc or Junior T wheels though..

So, I've always had this youtube idea to give a pro driver an outdated or "crappy" engineered car and see just how they would fare around a race track. Part of the test is to see their driving skills and their mechanical ability to improve an outdated design on a race track. Kind of like I...

Some kind of walking clock?

ThE Stig?? Michael Schumacher?

So....I'm late to the party - what did I miss? clm - I easily see an LXT in my future, thank you :) What body are you working on for the LXT? As Jeff mentioned, my two printers probably have 1000s of hours on them now, Ender 3 Pro, both with alloy clamp and glass beds, little things here and there a...

Boki racing could probably do a limited run off a 3D printed buck if you were to model a body

As far as the Hawk goes- I found a complete first gen cad model on grabcad a while back. I haven’t looked it over real close but it looked pretty solid.

I haven't given up on my future dream of pulling bodies. On hold for a bit, I need to clear out room & reduce the number of projects I have...

Most likely true - since I dove into 3d, my projects have grown exponentially...
