Also need a better template material. I'm thinking some reasonably thick plywood. Probably need to get a bit more practice routing out the gearbox bump, currently it's a little rough. Again, I think this is down to my template and material... I do have a plan on how to do this, even before I have a CNC. Theses look great Paul , any thoughts on if you would do something for the 3s -4s arrma’s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, very happy to. Problem is that I don't own one, so i need the bolt pattern and someone that is happy to (virtually) sit with me for an evening or two and do some test fits with paper print outs and/or I need to get hold of a chassis... im just spening so much on tooling at the moment I really don't want to buy more cars... yet.

Thought bike tools had a scene tax until I clocked the MIP kit! In the meantime the postie was early today, more stuff! For a truck I'm not sure about using! 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Today is a good rc day The postie brought me a VTX and a new body shell. I popped to my lhs for some paint and ended up leaving with another mostly complete mini rs4 which will be used as a spares car. Result!

Ag100 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 New Carbon drag link with bearings arrived today, came from America, and postage was pretty much the same as the part, will get it fitted this week. This replaces the standard aluminium one which has a bit of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Busby Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I have questions... What are they made from..?? What do they fit..?? The one piece designs I have been working on and sold to people are just Kydex.It's very easy to work with and reasonably priced. I plan on doing a couple more designs with extra bracing, and I'm testing a few different plastics for necissary parts to accommodate that... Might keep those materials a little close to the chest as it has took quite a bit of reading, discussions, research, and will take quite a bit of real world testing. Currently fitment is mainly Arrma 6s... But if you have requirements I'm happy to talk and experiment with you, similar to the way I have with AJ, who fitted to a Corally. Btw - all 9 parts, and a few very rough prototypes have all sold with 100% positive feedback so far. Less than a week with no website or proper Facebook page. I'm very happy with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I have nothing ready to go, except a couple of very rough prototypes. I'm working the normal job to fund all the expensive tools so I can make them more efficiently, and more repeatably.... but I have a lot of rough cuts waiting to be trimmed, drilled, cleaned, and moulded... Keep an eye on this page/my status and I will have a website up and running soon (It's nearly ready). What car is it for?

supersavage Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Nothing RC again but a fancy All In One CPU cooler for my PC. Is probably overkill for setup but at least my case doesn't look as empty now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
