58007 Cheetah 3 years 3 weeks ago #65445

Al Topic Author Offline Impressive Numbers Posts: 1496 Likes received: 1735	I think the problem with the Cheetah body would be the level of detail. 3D printing isn’t good enough. I’ve been buying up as many parts as possible, with the intention that I will attempt to mould as many small parts as possible. Hopefully if this succeeds I can build 3 or 4 bodies and maybe help other people out. The following user(s) Liked this: jord001

Al Topic Author Offline Impressive Numbers Posts: 1496 Likes received: 1735	Another day, another Cheetah body ?? This arrived today. 3 and a half bodies now, non of them complete or unbroken !!! I think the first chance I get, I need to see how far each one can go and what is missing. Then see what can be reproduced or made ??

I need some supplies and then I will start to see what I can put together. I have a few chassis' waiting for a body. The following user(s) Liked this: stingray-63, 1972 LeMansGT Jim

I think back then they were more like a regular scale model with added electronics. I know they have a lot of small parts but I still like them and would have one in my small collection. Probably never run it outside incase it got broken Lee Regards Lee The following user(s) Liked this: 1972 LeMansGT Jim

Al Topic Author Offline Impressive Numbers Posts: 1496 Likes received: 1735	So here’s a group shot. I realised when I started setting this up that I’ve got a ton more bits. There are loads of NIP bits, loads of body bits even some NIB tyres. But I just thought it would take ages to try a photo all of it. But it’s an update of sorts.
