So I've been 3d printing for a few yrs now, and I've always wanted to challenge myself as to what it was I could do with this thing(s) I've taken on some multi-piece 1:1 swords or axes, done a few really nice functional prints or tools.... But I've been dying to see what what I could do in my favori...

Team Associated debuted their second car in 1975, the 1/8th scale gas powered RC100. Featuring a more sculpted 3/16in. thick flat aluminum chassis the new base shared only the black powder coated crossbar front axle/steering assembly and other minor parts from the previous generation car.

1978 would see Associated Electrics release their third 1/8th scale vehicle, the nitro powered RC200. The new design brought with it a lighter hourglass shaped fiberglass chassis that was less susceptible to tweaking compared to the previous aluminum version, with the plastic front bumper and floati...
