Thank you all for your kind words. This really has been a crazy project.
SLS parts are now available at Shapeways.

So how many of them are out there

There are currently three of these out there right now.

Many more to hit the market very soon...

Niki is currently traveling and has very limited access to the forum right now.

This is the debut race of the Nix91 raced by Niki himself. Proof the car can be raced with 100% of the SLS parts. Yes guys, these were meant to be driven, not shelved.

Cool vid Jake...so when is the chassis going to be available?

I can see a thread in the near future, 91 WORLD's BUILD for those of us lucky enough to build one.

Ordered! Parts came to $87.89 shipped for the complete set
Although I should probably go back and order the motor guard too

Currently shows shipping around the 19th

Jake, your up

Yup, we need a chassis and towers. Too bad you guys didn't create a box and make her a kit lol.

that's awesome video of its first run. can't wait to hear his feedback be on it.

it's funny that 20+ years later, a replica stealth buggy would be out being run today. it feels very star trek-ish.

The kit idea was thrown around but it would have taken a few thousand up front to make it possible. The chassis - shock towers kits are coming very soon.

Just bustin balls Jake, shapeways will take a while anyway. It's going to take a while for everyone to source the parts anyway. I know I have to go digging!

Are we using off the shelf hinge pins?

I'm gonna need a 2nd job...I need one of these!!

Yes the hinge pins will be a mixture of 10T hinge pins and buggy hinge pins, I have the part numbers for everything you guys will need.

For those of you who have bought Shapeways parts, please give me a few days to get the details together on how to order the remaining parts. All the details will be in the business section of RC10talk. I am currently machining parts all weekend. I would have had them done but machine maintenance put me behind a few days.

Jake

Great job on the car! I want that!

Me too!

Part number for the two servo saver screws is 7306, there was one on E-bay!

Cheers, DaveM.
