Wow Niki!
Love your work. They look really good.

This means I might have to revise my build again

Hello,

Are you planning on producing these kits again soon ?

Thanks

I decided to make separate assembly drawings for "Replica" and "Race" versions. Just to be more clear with all the options.
This is "Replica"...

There has been confusion if 1" wide B4 front wheel can be used or not.
For some reason I had a vision axle #7222 + B4 wheel will make front end too wide for race use. That's not true... it's spot on right.

The wheel width is perfect, right at 250 mm, technically, the nut that keeps the wheel on is too wide. Nobody is going to care about the wheel nut. If it bothers you, cut off the threads, drill and tap the axle to hold the wheel on with a button head 4/40 screw.

I have used B4 carbon strap #9594 in my rere-Worlds. I think it can be tuned for NIX91 also.

Who does Masami paint jobs

[GoMachV]

"tip jar" was the man when it came to Masami replicas. Wonder when he will be back

[DennisM]

Yeah, I checked his Ebay shop / Homepage - He doesn´t seem to have any active listings on Ebay.
But there was a fresh "kickass" custom painted rc10 on his homepage, so hopefully he still paints.

i pick up my Masami Replica shell from him, took a while to get, cost a bomb, but the quality was fantastic,
i am pretty sure that Ultra hive is still putting them out there, shoot him an email.
PM me if you want his details.
cheers

Shapeways will investigate this latest trend of US plant made parts breaking too easy.
Seems that Shapeways US factory make parts just for US and Netherlands plant covers rest of the world.

No need to send back broken parts but I need to send them a list of order numbers.
So please PM me name of part that was broken and Shapeways order number. I will make a combined list and send it later.

I was told at the moment there is no way to assign order to either US or NL factory. It's done automatically based on customers home country.

Bittydesign in italy does excellent paintwork, be prepared to wait a bit as they do a lot of pro paint. I already have a few mamas style bodies from them and they are always spot on, even on the smallest detail.

theirs a bunch of those painted bodies on ebay now.
