Hello everyone, It is my first thread beside my introduction in this forum. It had stars on the box, it came from Japan, but it was not a Tamiya. I believe the rear conception was slightly inspired from Tamiya's Holiday Buggy, while the front suspension looked like taken from a Formula one of that p...

I think if I were planning to run one I'd change the rear to use two shocks to preserve the chassis . I intend to do some reinforcement. At minima, I would put a link between the two shock towers to help the forces partition. Eventually, that link would be also tied with the rear gear box cover (ag...

The black chassis , are they for the Galaxy ? Yes, the black chassis are initially Galaxy's one. They are the same as the Hunter V2, but black instead of grey. NB: Hunter V1 don't have holes for the roll cage stay of the Galaxy, as well the shock towers are rounded. My original Hunter was a V1. I g...

New series of deliveries this week https://i.imgur.com/bWIFyt9.jpg Some NIPs: Rear wheels Pinion gear set (and an Idle gear). May be I should have ordered 2 Universal Join Differential Other parts in cluster : brand new radio box cover an gear box covers (but from a Galaxy). Another Motor Mount and ...

After a few adjustments (to reduce the width of the inserts going into the shock towers), here is the result: https://i.imgur.com/xZM25Zh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dwwIkhA.jpg Fit is perfect... Only thing left is to use another material to print the definitive parts. And I'll check as well how a Galax...

That's really coming on , the more I look at it the more I think you should combine the reinforcement with the gear cover as one part ? Well, I thought about this, and looked in details on the 4 chassis (included a broken one) I have in hands currently: I believe threads to mount the gearbox cover ...

Print results before removing all support https://i.imgur.com/OuTw4B7.jpg First, this is encouraging, there is a lot of wrong things in my first print of tires (stl found on Thingiverse): - wall were not setup right, I believe this did not helped to get it right. I will make the walls thicker. - tem...

Hello! https://i.imgur.com/v8pdeVD.jpg While I'm waiting to restart the Marui Hunter project, I decided to start the build of the Javelin which was sitting under my desk for the last few months... The opened box is as usual nice and clean. Almost tempted to keep it this way, but that's not possible ...

Changed the motor position, and it's better on the contact side (can't go on the other side, as it would go against the roll cage)

Got it all wired up. - This car doesn't have much room for a traditional antenna wire, so I had to wrap a good bit around a spool (Traxxas 1926) and attach it to the side of the receiver. - The tub has an opening in the bottom to pass the motor leads through, keeps it clean. - The car is setup to h...

 A last set of pics, as I just finished my Javelin... https://i.imgur.com/mIkMID2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7qcqiU7.jpg Driver is focused, not sure if it good or not, but he's ready to race :-D I decided to remove the 20 before the 9, as I like to put the 9 on my cars https://i.imgur.com/MofAyTY.jpg h...

I like to run my r/c cars at night, so I need to add lights to my Javelin...

Working out a part for the front


Test print in progress, results later...

I reworked the front led bucket attachement as I found the first one too large. I also designed a part for the rear side. Front is supposed to be used with light buckets (any available on ebay should do it), and rear is supposed to work with standard 5mm red leds. https://i.imgur.com/PmWstRL.jpg Mou...

Almost worked as planned Javelin has now lights... I will update the thread and repost the parts on Thingiverse as it seem my original publication is not visible, not sure why... https://i.imgur.com/0OmJQEO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MIao72H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6nMhKCu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eld0H...

A bit of teasing...
Soon I will add another Kyosho build thread
