Niki, what do you think a Shapeways set would end up costing? Is this something you would consider?

You mean the 'new' ebayer selling them for $100?

You think it's a scam? Or just taking advantage of demand?

You all need to realize that these parts were not just sitting on hobby shop walls before Niki and Jake got this project rolling. They were all rare as hell before.

And not the first time Pink Yokomo wheels have gone very high! Took me 3 years from 2008 to get my first NIP set of wheel adapters, and those were

Team Suzuki. These parts have always been rare and so have the tires!!!!

Around $40 for a pair. Mods can be done also. These are ZC-835 versions.
If ZC-825's are wanted I need someone to take dims for me.

That price sounds fair. Wow you work fast Niki, the mod wheels look fantastic! I would for sure buy a set of mod and standard in black! I hope you make them Niki!

On another note, Shapeways sent me the correct race rear arms, great service!

ZC-835 replica and Masami mod version available at Shapeways.
Only white polished material version. Dye it to color you want. Shapeways black is not polished, that's why it's not available.

OK... both 835 and 825 versions available. Thanks Jason for 825 dimensions.
White polished and black unpolished.
Original type wheel and mod version.

So what is the NIX10M?

I have no idea... empty section at my Shapeways shop page maybe?
You can find these wheels at NIX91 section

I Thought new section for some new project you be working on. Like a mid motor version or something.

so i take it 58mm is 2.0
and 61mm is 2.2?

ZC-825 = 2.1"
ZC-835 = 2.2"

I will update model names with inch information... ...and done!

Wow!! Love those wheels!!!!

I'm sorry I'm such a lazy SOB but it's my birthday (for another 9 minutes) so I'll rely on that.

Is there a listing of required shapeways parts I can just click buy it now for this thing? I don't necessarily want to recreate Masami's car, just a fun runner/racer, and the website listing of parts is confusing. Please make it easy for the customer!

He tried to in the beginning but shapeways kept messing it up. Long story short, no there is not a single button anymore.

Basically you need to chose std or race front and rear arms, 20 or 30 degree front bulkhead, front spindles and carriers, inner rear mounts (single or the pack for track adjustments) and std or race steering sets.

You can find a shop section called "NIX91 (Complete Set1)". That section includes all items I would add under "NIX91" single buy it now button. It's the best I can do at the moment to help you.
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/nixconcepts?sort=newest&s=0&section=NIX91+%28Complete+Set1%29

If someday Shapeways offers a single button option for a combination of items - I will make two active buttons. "NIX91" and "NIX91 Race".

"NIX91" would include:
NIX91-001
NIX91-Rear Arms SLS (inc.parts -002,-003)
NIX91-Steering SLS (inc.parts -011,-012,-013,-014)
NIX91-022
NIX91-Front Arms SLS (inc.parts -009,-009)
NIX91-Steering Blocks SLS (inc.parts -005,-006,-007,-008)

and

"NIX91 Race" would include:
NIX91-033
NIX91-Race Rear Arms SLS (inc.parts -028,-029)
NIX91-Race Steering SLS (inc.parts -023,-024,-025,-026)
NIX91-022
NIX91-Race Front Arms SLS (inc.parts -030,-030)
NIX91-Steering Blocks SLS (inc.parts -005,-006,-007,-008)

All these items are available at the moment... just not under a single button.

Look great !!

Looks like my Christmas presents have been decided. Just bought the rear wheels black and wheel adaptors. Thanks for doing this. Maybe a good idea to also do the rear tower mount as well. Thanks.

Rear Tower is easy to get hold of, and a piece of cake to cut using Niki's guide!
