I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Printer some Multiboard panels and mounted some of my spare sets on it. Gives me a little more shelf space.

Yes, those are red and blue sets of drift tires printed with PLA+. :wink:

I started printing a couple of pieces of that awhile back, and even with Bambu speed, I just felt like it would take forever to make a useable amount of board. Yours looks nice, and props for your patience!! :D

I spent some time this morning clocking and back-cutting a couple of puller tires.

Doh! I am so paranoid about doing that, I put a big red sticker next to the positive terminal on every one of my bullet-style batteries.

I had some wood scraps laying around so I made some rc car racks for testing. I am going to make some nice ones but these test racks turned out ok.

Please excuse my messy workspace it’s my train, gunsmith, rc, and home project workbench.

Printed some little tools to help me assemble the RC10 turnbuckles without damaging them with the pliers. Only by hand there was absolutely no way to rotate the ballcups on the threaded rod for more than one turn.

I never even really noticed it but AE doesn't tell you in the manual like they did back in the day, the shock tool has an opening made just for installing the ball ends. You would still need something for the other side unless you had a pair of the tools. Anyway just throwing that out there.

I cannot see how that would work, but there are no tools in the 40th rere box, apart from 4 allen keys.

Schumacher gives you 2 tools for the rod ends, but doesn't mention using them for that purpose. They do show how to use the opposite end of the tool to assemble drive shafts, but you only need 1 tool for that.
