TOPIC:

Haven't been up to much lately and I feel bad about it, Work and lack of motivation have contributed to doing very little, but I have been messing with the 3D printer and managed to print some wheels and upgrades for Lunchy#2 and Frankenhopper

These are the suspension upgrades for both giving them double wishbone suspension, All I have to do extra is make some upper arms with rod ends and threaded bar. The Traxxas screw pins are for the suspension. Also printed parts to stop the bar in the gearbox moving which will make it more stable. and no holes or modifications to the chassis either. 

 

This is just 1 wheel of the set for the Hopper

 

Then I printed some alternate wheels for the WPL C24 Toyota pickup, here they are with tyres fitted. They are not the best but If I wanted to I could reprint on super fine setting. These however will be good enough. 

 

Thats it for now. 

Oh and a couple of replacement wheels for the wheelie bar

That really is it..

 

I brocke a arm Like these on a mini jump

Well Flo, I am hoping that with the new suspension setup this will be stopped. I had 2 broken ones from jumps on the lunchbox. 

It should work well on the Lunchy, Hornet and Grasshopper

Oh it's ampro ones? I had a kit on thingsgiver maybe badly printed...

Not the Ampro one Flo but the same. 

Here is how it looks on the Hopper chassis which I have found is a GH II chassis.   Even more now its a GH II chassis I still do not have a clue where it came from, I never had one. 


I just have to make the bars a little longer, .but it works great. I've had to order some knuckles for the Hornet/GH as I only have 1 for some reason. The suspension struts had snapped off so this is something I found on Thingyverse which seems to work. Now to find some shocks to fit.


 

I like it.

Had to utilize the nice weather today.
Too hot for me to be outside today (30C ish), but painting works fine.

Was really time to put paint one of my two Zakspeed Capri bodies.
Still in the painting stages atm 

Max 22 here and cloudy... Zn autumn weather... But a mci mb decals sheet arrived yesterday. Tomorrow soda bath and work on the body to have a nice vintage mb restored tribute body.

It's a wonderful weather for November, here... Oh... Wait!

I really like this Ford body... If I build a car for the track, it will be with this body! 

The monster beetle body will receive its vintage treatment. Albert Attaboy already received his daxlighter KC. The body is under the semi sun in a hot caustic soda bath
