The instrument panel and storage containers are printed and painted , I also got the new Mabuchi RS380SH motors are fitted with the 12t pinions instead of the stock 10t pinions and even just testing in the living room its faster , spins its tracks on the Lino ! I'll get some video of it tomorrow if the weather is good for a few minutes.
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.
No video but I have driven it outside and its much more like the speed it should be , not fast by rc car standards or even as quick as those Rip Saw rc tanks but its fast enough to show the limitations of the old 27meg Heng Long control system and steering ! It also kind of rocks forward on the suspension when it stops like the real ones !

Not seen a nitro blizzard in person but found one on YouTube 2 speed ? The carrier is probably faster than first gear but not as fast as second gear , I'll try and get footage soon.

Did Thumbs teach you that? I heard he likes to hide.... and watch...
Hah, I run mine with pride!! I also do like to watch from the bushes though... Looks killer! Bell does seem to be a bit critical of your work in one photo though. At least it's not full fruit bowl!

Thanks people , I think the speed is just right for what it is , as for hiding , no I don't , I'm a 51 year old bald , fat guy and I do WW2 reenactment , when I'm in my British uniform I look like captain Mainwaring from dads army ! So being seen with an RC car is nothing !

I can't really explain it either, but I feel the same way. Something to do with a funny looking, bearded guy playing with toy cars in public, maybe. I don't run and hide, but I usually pretend to be occupied by something else as to avoid any eye contact.
Back to the topic, I agree that this is an amazing build and the results are very impressive. I'd still vote for it.

If you're not changing resins and don't have the printer near a window you don't even need to drain the vat unless you're going several months with it not in use.
I know but It really depends the resin you use (not all are behaving the same on...
I've been modeling and printing parts like crazy lately, a lot of which are SRB based. Thought you guys might like to see the progress. This first set is all the vintage style nylon bits. I'm also working on a rear mono rocker that works with the...

Hi, welcome.
Have a look on Shapeways j-sou has a shop on there where youbuy the items in the first photos.
I recently got curious about the new wave of chrome effect paints that came out with real mirror finish results , previously I'd been looking at electro plating but it involves gallons of chemicals and some quite accurate control of voltages...

The above two comments are spot on , the reflection shows absolutely every tiny defect , I can see the roughness of the buck used to form the body , little chips in the buck , I get that the buck is probably as old as the hills but I've never seen...
Ok today's dumb question is about the very early steering wheel style Transmitters , it's obvious how you did the steering on them but unlike the later trigger and wheel radios that we still have today it's hard to see how the throttle was...

Would've made sense to have your thumb on the wheel next to steering as throttle and the side slider to be trim.
Looks like it tuned into radio Luxembourg as well.
So I have an Ender3 V2 I picked up last Christmas. I have been using it for smaller functional prints and am curious about making some replacement parts for RC cars. I have been learning to design parts on Tinkercad and have found some on...
