Again another Marui project : Super Wheelie and Big Bear! 10 months 1 week ago #75321

Yesterday night, I had a Super Wheelie with a Big Bear front train, as the front knuckles axles were nowhere to be found in what was delivered with the car (there is always a problem :-) ). I found the required screws this morning and the problem is solved. The test chassis is now ready :-)


It remain a bit of work :
- print tpu internal sleeves for front tires (there was not initially I believe, but one of my friend created some and uploaded them on Thingiverse)
- clean the rims
- letter the tires
- assemble the bodyshell. It won't be perfect, but the target is really to be able to test the car.

on the Big Bear, i'll have to do the paintjob today, so still a bit of work :)

There was work being done...




And after a print and some paint applied (unfortunately, no stckers to match what was needed)...



Ok, there was not so much work : I did nothing on the bodyshell, it was good to go... It may require a bit of restoration, the lights are not working, and it would require me to butcher the front to do something about it... No time for this right now, I'll see this later. But for the time being, the gear set test ring in Super Wheelie configuration is ready :-)

Nice one! I begin to regret my cj. You have a lot of work on the front grill ...

The Super Wheelie done, the afternoon remain for the Big Bear paint job... I had quite a good idea of how I wanted it to be... "SImple paintjob, dual tone, gun metal and silver, provision for lights later"

And let's be more specific... I started to watch The Mandalorian with my son the day I finised the paintjob of the Ninja, and I though gun metal would go nicely with a Mandalorian themed bodyshell :-). It's a bit anachronic, but I don't care :-)


Gun metal, then silver, then black to back the silver...



And here is the Big Bear with its bodyshell...



I'm ahead of my plan of a few hours... I have a set of spare RX and Servo, maybe I could build another car?  :lol:  :mrgreen: (ok, no, I can't do that, as I suspect the RX of the ESC of the Fantom to have an issue, and I really want this car to run as well...)

I'll have now to prepare my stuff and not forget remote, battery and chargers :)

I did aanother try with 1.5V battery and the light is in... There is actually leds in the Super Wheelie bodyshell. until know I was thinking it was only light bulbs, but they did not work. It's just a question of connecting the right wire on the right pole... I took the solder iron, and did a small connector...
And theres is light now :-)
