Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
How about the shock collars for the Losi cars like the JRX2? Trying to get a hold of the shock collars in black is next to impossible. I have the grey ones and one set in black that look like the newer ones but only a pair. The grey is fine an dandy but I like the black myself. Just wondering.
Also I like your 3d printed parts. Got the steering arms and shock mounts on my runner project. Great product. Thanks!

Can you print up display stands? I saw a member with a really trick AE vintage logo that he printed into a car display stand.

Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
There is only legal issue that prevent me from doing that. Those pretty much ensure I will not do it. I am not touching copy written names. Even if the odds are good they don't care, it just takes one lawsuit to ruin everything.RJK33 wrote:Can you print up display stands?

Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
Here's something I'd like to see made, which I imagine would be relatively easy 3d-printed.... adapters for the old Schumacher wheel fitting, with a 12mm hex on the other side.... so you could mount hex rims on old Schueys.
Can do?

Osiris is the key.

Already have the original Losi collars designed up, haven't had time to print them yet.hondaman wrote:How about the shock collars for the Losi cars like the JRX2?

Now that is actually something I have considered. I have an acquaintance from our local track that works at a company with laser cutter and we have talked about some bent steel stands with the OLDRC name in it. He has already made some for himself with some off his cars company names on it.perry wrote:How about one with an OLD RC Logo ?

That is more than likely achievable. I would just need some pictures and measurements of the original stuff as reference. I am not at all familiar with Schumacher stuff. I am starting to learn a lot of the older stuff, but Schumacher and Yokomo are probably my least familiar stuff.Incredible_Serious wrote:Here's something I'd like to see made, which I imagine would be relatively easy 3d-printed.... adapters for the old Schumacher wheel fitting, with a 12mm hex on the other side.... so you could mount hex rims on old Schueys.

Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
No, can't get fine enough detail. I am not sure on all diff gears, but some are molded and a finished product while others are a molded blank and then the teeth are machined into the blank. A lot of spurs are blanks with the teeth machined in.Dan684 wrote:would it be possible to make diff gears like this? i would buy a few a3076 gears if it would work

Can you recreate parts for the Bolink Renegade I'm restoring?

Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
Send me a picture of the part or post it here. I can see how feasible it is. It all depends how difficult to design it is and how much potential demand there might be.

Re: 3D printed parts you would like to see made
I'll get you some pics asap. As far as demand... I'm sure you get demand for a 30 year old Bolink car that most people have never heard of! LoL!
