I happened upon these posts today. My dad was Tony Britten. He would be so pleased his hard work and innovations were still being used and spoken about. It broke him when he was taken by those who would steal from him and his family

Yeah, don't know how you can stand all that bright colour......

So he’s into the viper tonight. Doing well I’ll add too. As far as the instructions go, they are great, typical Tamiya quality, lots of good info for a beginner. The worse part of the build that I’m seeing is that the plastic parts are in non labeled bags. So not the best, but he’s doing fine with it.

And it’s a runner!

Painted a Tamiya VW Type 2 Kombi wheelie body, heaps of masks to cut out and apply

Just received chassis parts today thanks to @GoMachV


I will have to print my parts in final mode soon so I can check everything and make them available...

For the last Ten4.1 I decided to go a little different route by adding CC to the end of it 😉. The clear parts are just my regular ten4.1 parts but printed with a clear resin. The clear parts are not strong, but they will look great on the shelf. I may offer very limited numbers of the clear parts bu...

Gotta love a custom Kydex bumper! 8) Thanks. I reckon it looks pretty damn good. :D Too bad it'll get used. The final tuning option I wanted to try is a one-way main driveshaft. All the parts are in this picture. The short front steel piece still needs to be hardened. 1.jpg Assembled and side by si...

I was playing with the idea of making a one-way spool to replace the front diff but I will need a rotary table to drill holes radially to mount the crown gear. I ended up going with the one-way driveshaft due to having the materials and equipment on hand. Gotta love a custom Kydex bumper! 8) Thanks....

A bunch of Spektrum stuff that was on sale at Horizon and Omni. Five motors, two esc's, and a shorty lipo for ~$100. That's hard to beat. Being that the battery was made for drag racing, it had 12 gauge wire and a huge IC5 connector. It was tight but I was able to swap over to a more common IC3. 202...

Yesterday, I put in about 8 hours of driving for another interest I have, so today I wasn't really interested in any driving, but late this morning this popped on on FBMP a couple of hours away, and I couldn't help myself!! :D I have been trying to organize my garage recently, and in the process hav...

Yesterday, I printed the pulley cover in Translucent ABS, and I decided to try something different... I used PETG as support interface material... https://i.imgur.com/LzWxjgm.jpeg The PETG was mostly removed... https://i.imgur.com/VAK5AEo.jpeg To remove the last bit i used a grinding tool... It's no...

Time to play with colors again... Rit Dye Orange Apricot https://i.imgur.com/GwH7hEF.jpeg If ever you use this dye tone, be careful, the bubles are giving a clearer tone to the parts compared to what it is in reality... As a result it is a bit too dark compared to what I wanted initially... But it w...

I do the like the interior plate, but the driver seat placement makes the driver need to be angled, or sitting very low. https://i.imgur.com/LyXnTOr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8J8zUNi.jpg Looks really low from the side, like he can barely see over the wheel. :lol: https://i.imgur.com/EyJdR2h.jpg Might ...

Problem of the day : king pins. https://i.imgur.com/zW3OOAh.jpeg I know that my friend Dadio would say it is easy to do with a lathe (i'm sure it is, by the way), but I do not have a lathe... As usual i'm going to work aorund this with printed parts, a file, a few screws ball bearing and a drill. St...
