TOPIC:

Your work is awesome.

I've been looking at the completely printed rc's as I want to build my own car, I have a mini body but no chassis. You may have to buy bearings but I want one that I can print off the front suspension and a back axle or diff and use it in my own chassis 

You could print and design a pancar style m chassis and use group C diff .

First vax this morning.  

Well, mounted today, but was really yesterday


First run on the beach with 2 of the Lunchboxs. The video looks lighter than what it was yesterday evening when we ran. Next time will go even later :-D!
One of the light bucket decided to detach itself from the body while bashing on some ondulated side of the beach. Fixed that later on with gaffer, and it should work much better. Now, to be honest, I'm not sure I'll be able to resist to buy a big brushless combo to run on the beach with the Lunchbox, as with this wide space to run, the 540 silver can looks like heavily undersized :-D

Pretty nice. And the dog leaves the rc. Not the case with mines...

Swapped to bigger and softer rear tires on my Zakspeed Capri

Yep faster motor must make it more fun in such open space.
I have not driven mine with anythin hotter than a Technigold motor, but a bit more would be nice.

Regarding ligthbuckets. Tamiya's clear double sided tape is real sticky, I highly recomend that.
In the past I have used Hudy Bodyfix to fit something to body, but it dries hard.
I used to use silicone, but many of my headlights did fall off. Tiny bit of hotglue would be better than silicone I imagne.

Your video makes me want to drive my Lunchbox. 
Think that is one of the first things I need to do after I have moved to my new place.
Have not driven it since January I think..

Today, went down to the beach with the Hornet...
Traction is OK, as long as you don't pull the trigger more than 20% at start, otherwise the car get stuck in the sand... 

the 4000 mAH is overkill for the Hornet. Cells measured at 3.98V each at the end of the run... 

When I drove my Striker this winter I drove for 30min with my 4000mAh battery, and it still showed 7.35V (6.4-6.8V is recomended as cut off for a lipo battery).
Based on that voltage I think I could have been driving for at least 20-25min more before it had been empty.
So 50+min runtime with a 4000mAh battery is likely. And mine does not have a orginal motore either. Think it is 25-23T range..
