Northern lights last night

I settled on a front shock tower design that worked with the CRP mount plate, didn't require any more chassis trimming, and didn't require any body trimming. I also made some upper control links with some adjustment capability. Then added some Traxxas link ends to the threaded tops of the shocks. Th...

I printed the scan in resin to see how much it is different...


The result is better defined (as expected)... I still need to work the base in CAD, and we'll try to scan the body later on... Normally, the feature tracking should work better on the body so we'll see.

After my day of work, I went for another scanner session... This time I used high accuracy in the capture (it was in standard accuracy last time). I started by capturing the body. For this I used the black support (black means the scanner will not capture it), as the body itself should have enough f...

A diff and spool for a puller project (had to get into it quick to determine shaft size), FTW chassis plate for a SRB project, and a chassis for a next project.

Frankentruck hooked it up with some 3D printed Kyosho Pro-X/XRT gear covers for reproduction.

Gone for some test prints...


I'll put a comparison between the original parts and the printed parts later on after the printed/cleaned part are fully dry and cured...

The great advantge of White Nylon PA12 SLS printed parts is that you can easily dye them... And because I do not have a full set of grey parts for the white Land Cruiser, I ordered 3 full set of arms in white PA12 SLS. The overall plan was to make one set grey, and one set red. The last one was plan...

Hopefully this one doesn’t walk away on its own

The test print to check the last scans was done successfully... I rescan the head of the Super Wheelie differently, with a slightly better result again... https://i.imgur.com/nxUoTDU.jpeg The Big Bear driver figure scan is actually much better than what I thought it would be... I still wish to find ...

Got the bad spots fixed, and the last coat of primer on. https://i.imgur.com/cQU6kLn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OeBWryg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8lLt6iD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9SVhxx1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/s6jUSTu.jpg TS-26 Pure White will be going on as soon as the wind lets up, this coming week.

As they are then Thingiverse or cults3d would be a nice thing to do , they are really so close to perfect though that I'd be tempted to try and rework them , sharpen the detail of the seat belts and buckles . Maybe cut up the model in meshmixer to just export a part of the model to cut down on the ...

Bumper print as per plan... https://i.imgur.com/RiibaXK.jpeg Next was to paint them... No, I don't like super wheelies, I love them :-) https://i.imgur.com/8meP3rR.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/grV5RTg.jpeg We just have to wait for the white Toyota Land Cruiser and the Big Bear stickers, now... I'm a bit...

Rook's Tx from the movie. https://i.imgur.com/pKuYpsP.jpg Pretty sure I have those same gloves too :lol:. $10 from ebay. https://i.imgur.com/cDiddKQ.jpg Came with tiny little vintage G plug servos and another FP-R4H. https://i.imgur.com/srI9drV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nN0BaY6.jpg Just found out that...
