Hey all. I thought to dedicate an own topic for this car. I started to model some parts to my ST GP some time ago and the things just went out of control when i win a bid on BNIB Ultima ST Type-R EP. Before assembling it, i recreated all the Type-R specific parts to my PC, so i could easily print sp...

Correct! Hunter/Galaxy rear chassis. Im drawing this using my own broken Hunter chassis. Im also fixing some flaws this chassis had, mainly the idler gear area and rear shock mounts. Idler gear will be ball bearing ready, the universal joint axles bearings will be swapped from the odd 11mm size to 1...

First print came out great! I had some troubles with the first layer, as i didnt remember to raise up the nozzle temp when i changed the filament from clear to red, but i managed to save it during the print. The quality is draft, which is okay for this kind of proto: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat...

Okay, i just finished re-creating the Kyosho Ultima ST Type-R EP, so i will continue with Marui Hunter. Stock style gearbox area re-created: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/20210212_214003.jpg/_medium.jpg Enhanced rear lower suspension arms. These arms have several enhancements when comparing th...

Damn man, awesome comment! Thanks! I created a new thread for Hunter, so that will continue here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=45922

Heres the Enhanced rear lower control arm printed and installed: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/20210213_025029.jpg/_medium.jpg https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/20210213_025021.jpg/_medium.jpg Im not kidding, even with my "beaten to shit" axles = zero play and my worst axle was 4,3...

Chassis starting to take shape: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Hunter%20v2.png/_medium.jpg https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Hunter%20v2_1.png/_medium.jpg https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Hunter%20v2_2.png/_medium.jpg Any suggestion where to cut...

Had some time to draw the chassis further, still work in progress though:

Thanks for reply Dadio! Yea, print test will be definitely needed, i planned to section the suspension mount to smaller sections first, print them and assemble them with original parts and if they are okay, then print the whole front suspension section to check if its okay and then finally adjust th...

Thanks for tips! I have printed gears from CF/PETG to my Ultima ST GP project. I would love to print them from CF Nylon, but i´ve had so many problems with Nylon printing that i kind of forgot it. SLS printing service is also a solution, but i will start with FDM and 48DP gears. 48DP is easy to prin...

Starting to look like it: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Hunter%20v5.png/_medium.jpg https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/Hunter%20v5_1.png/_medium.jpg There are still couple of things in the chassis that need to be addressed, but those are small details. Parted the...

Everything lines up: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/20210224_135606.jpg/_medium.jpg https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Marui%20Hunter/20210224_140033.jpg/_medium.jpg And heres the first proto of the 2 piece chassis: Joined together with 4 screws under the radio box: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/...

Could someone more experienced with the Hunter/Galaxy list all the known most common weak points in this chassis? I already know the rear suspension mounts, the front hinge pin areas and the idler shaft slots, but is there more? Because when i look at this original chassis that i have, i have pretty...

Everything lines up, except the idler axle hole thats in the motor mount metal plate (this was expected). I added set screws under the idler axle slots, just in case if my gear lash isnt correct, so i can adjust it and measure the amount of set screw thats visible. Seems that its not needed as the s...

Started to design an upgraded steering setup, that´s compatible with RT5 chassis plate, but incorporates and RT6/RB6/RB7 style steering bell crank system. One benefit with this is also a simplified service, less parts and simple ackerman adjustability. Its still work in progress state, so dont mind ...
