the guys at rpm have always said that they'll do the clips in white if a large enough order was placed. i think the minimum was a hundred dollars for a ??? certain amount of packages.

that makes sense. this though is crazy, one of the ink manufactures I deal with, has a 10k$ minimum order to get neon yellow, as its discontinued. I'll try to machine some soon, see if that works. thanks.

Those shock clips are a natural fit to be 3d printed.

Working on it...

Parts fit great so far, the racers will want to add a shim here and there but it's pretty freakin close for printed parts!

Kudos Niki!

Jeff those parts are looking lonely...have no fear I am working daily to get the chassis kits out. Patience and before you know it, you will have your car built.

I'm in no hurry! as long as they arrive before tomorrow!

Rest assured I have plenty to work on! I'm already planning how I will do things differently next time!
Btw, shapeways must be back logged, I ordered my parts the day before I ordered some for another member, mine were a day late his are a week and a half late

Shocks are proving to be the hard part. I have plenty that need anno, but I want them to be proper!

I was lucky and was able to find the shock kits new. Of course I happened to have a little heads up the car was being built as well.

AE had the rear shock kits for $10

I found the front shock kit on eBay for $25.

There are plenty of good condition 10Ts out there.

seabass:

Love the quality of the parts. Love the attention you guys paid to the fine detail

Btw, did I miss it out? What is the rear toe in of this car??

With NIX91-001 rear arm mounts 1.5deg toe-in/side and 3 deg antisquat. My plan is to make more options.

-Niki-

Tiger you did not miss out, the chassis for the kits are being worked...still a couple weeks out.

Am I on the right path if these clips are 0.8mm, 1.6mm, 3.2mm and 6.4mm thick?
