Thanks. My wife told me she has a friend who have a machine like this and showed me what she did with thick paper. It could be a good idea if it’s possible to work with masking tape.
if you can cut it on paper from a scan then it could be applied with latex if your careful , then it could easily be peeled .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
One of the Cricut material options is supposed to be lighter adhesive removable vinyl. I think that coould be better than masking tape. Flat sheets of Lexan can me ordered on Amazon. Getting one to experiment with could be worthwhile.
I remember that boat but I didn't remember it having those stickers on it. Thanks for digging that up.

This morning, my RC12LW made its first ride on carpet, almost 30 years after I bought it.
It was so great. First try was a failure, it was like doing ice-skating, but then, a club mate put tire additive on all wheels and everything went OK.

Awesome!!! Sounds like a good group at that track too! Where in France is this track? I'm looking for a place to run my old 1/10th and possibly some 1/12th pan cars and live in the south of France right now.

The matte removable vinyl seems to be a great masking material, but I haven't actually gotten around to painting on it, so I can't comment on leakage. Hopefully in a week or so I will have experience. The attached looks a bit sloppy, but remember what is vinyl is masking, so it doesn't need to be cut straight. It is the black lines that are important.

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.
Thanks everybody. It seems that several options are possible.

Do you have a link to show me the latex you're talking about?

Great! I definitely have to talk with my wife's friend to see what's possible with her machine.

This is not a permanent track. It's simply made with some rolls of office carpet in a sport hall on sunday morning every two weeks, near Brest. I'm afraid it's a little bit far from south side.
If you haven't done it yet, maybe you could look for the clubs near from your home on the FFVRC website and ask if they have a track for pan-cars.

Would love to see the action sometime! PM me if you get the chance.....will do the same......raising a glass at FiloBar would be nice...first round is on me!

On this picture, you can see that the shaft end of the schock is not straight.

At first, I thought I made a mistake when assembling the car back in the days. But I watched closely this afternoon and discover that my shaft end seems to have a problem: the hole for the set screw is too deep and continue in the other side of the shaft end. So, when I tighten the set screw, the shaft tumble in the small cavity created by the hole.
Did anybody else have this problem.
I suppose it is not too important concerning shock operation, so I'm not sure if I'll try to fix thsi (how?) or just let as this...
Yeah - I had a NiB kit and the hole wasn't deep enough. Just drilled and extra 1.5mm

One of many projects that is finally finished. This was my old 12LW carpet racer from the early 90s. A long time ago, the car lost the main shock and was shelved up until recently. It took a while to finish due to the missing shock. Thanks to fellow...

Beautiful car! All the right parts right down to the vintage cells. Love that body too. Nice job! :mrgreen:
So my back yard is all sand and large rock and I got tired of trying to drive through it so Today I made this. It's kind dorky but hey I did it by myself with only a rake. Thought you guys might like to see it.
