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, volumetricall...

Last bit of goods for the SRT.... I hope.

For those without Facebook and for future readers.....

Today I was able to replace the front 8-32 bellcrank screws with shorter 5/8" aluminum screws. I know I could have taken a cutoff wheel to the existing ones, but I actually needed them for another upcoming build. I finished applying the decals, put the RPM translucent Hydra gear cover on, and s...

Really is a next level phenomenal build

It's always nice to hear from people that have had a huge impact on the hobby.

My daughter gets better at this every year .

A litte thread bump with a few pictures of this JRXT with a A&L Roadkill body.

Not sure about those places but team KNK carries the FanRc molded parts and they are good people (and the prices are quite affordable!)

Hahaha thanks buddy. I do need to come back more often

Pulled the Nix91 off the shelf and updated with some reman TH1 rear hubs and JC wheels.

Think I'll dye the rear wheels black and leave the front white...

I hate painting bodies as I suck at painting, it's good from far but far from good. I don't know if my Tamiya tape was old or what but I suffered a lot from edge bleed, the tape felt a little different then I remembered it. Maybe it's time to try a different tape. I should learn to use liquid mask b...

Sweet! I don't have a set of those yet either.

I found a weird set of the stock TRX3 front arms a while back, must have been an early run or something.

...Does anyone have one of these gearboxes sitting around and could take precision height and width measurements for the front of it? Taken with digital vernier calipers... Height is 37mm/1.45in width... depends on where you measure as the case is tapered.... 23.9mm/.94in at the bottom 23.4mm/.92in...
