Sometimes things doesn't work, and you may spend a lot of time to do a joint... That was the case to include the steering rods... I finally succeed to get it done, but that took a bit of time to find out how to solve the issue for the right steering rod while the left worked like a charm..
The full steering is now in, with the servo and all joints are working properly... Then I made the shocks, and added them to the chassis... I included a pivot ball in the top shock cap as it is better for joining them to the assembly... I will need to focus next on the gear set... I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

I did not post yesterday, but that was intense work...
I started to deal with the bevel gears for the central joints. I started to check the position of the cone inside the gearbox. The way those bevel gears 18T mod 1 are built is basically variant of the same bevel gear. I designed a base bevel gear from a 18T mod 1 spur gear projection at 45°, and I then copy paste as new to work out the 3 variants I needed for the full gear set... Once that was done, I decided to add those elements in the chassis... I followed the manual and applied all the joints one by one At the end my rear gearbox is quite crowded... Then I did the same at the front After that I pull a motor and mounted it in the rear gearbox with the 18T pinion (I need to model the 16T pinion as well - there was two in the box of Marui Thunderbird Coors). And finally, I added the center shaft... I could have stopped there, but I did not. I have somewhere a Coors driver STL (which I'm not allowed to share), and put it on the chassis... Bill Elliot is gigantic... Finally, I put some colors on the parts (not sure of the yellow and the grey, but the general idea is there)... Today, after my day of work, I added the wheels in, and tried to do some parametric stuff. I have joint the wheels to the driver using a parametric distance, based on a fonction using a sign(value) with value being 1 or -1. I tried to apply the same principle to the suspension rest angle but it's a mixed result at this stage. I will also need to apply a ball and slider to the top of the suspension limiters so I have this coherent, and as well for the shafts... But for the time being, I have whatever I need to deal with the bodyshell... I may not give up yet on the chassis, but I already spend about one hour and it still doesn't work the way I want, and I may want to be able to display both version next one to each over, which means it may not work (let's think about this for later ) I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

Next elements to deal with will be the bodyshell..
I may use the schematics on the box as a starting point. That plus measurements of the different elements on one of the original bodies I have (2 of the Coors had their original body) should allow me to do something realist... I'm not sure to start right now, I may want to tear down the next car to be modeled (let state it, instead of one, maybe I should speak about 2 ) I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

I've also printed tires for the Ninja...
I've printed rims also for the occasion with some white added to the red And that's how this looks like And on the car now... I really need to do the paint job, now (I'll need this car to be ready for a Vintage event mid may). And for comparison with original cracked tires I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

A Trinity motor, not sure what model exactly. I don't even now if it works, and I'll have to find out...
