Rough day
This is a WLyoys 284161, I drive it like I stole it and it shows :D Unfortunately I cannot print the rear axle thingy because it is so tiny

Crazy 'tires'
Printed some crazy tires for my FMS FCX24, everything got stuck in these things and they did not drive or crawl very well 😅
Garden crawling with the FCX24
I try to build a crawling track for 1:24 in the garden, these 'lava stones' work great and become mossy in about a year, I like that.
diy buggy
Been a few months of on/off designing and printing, but it's on four wheels now (the correct offside rear is being printed right now) still loads to do, the temporary diff is too low, leading to the axles falling out and the tyco bandit inspired body is no where near fitting yet.
The smoke got out..
So I knew the gearing was too long for the larger tyres, new gears on the way, I expected the motor would die from the abuse/heat (the 3d printed motor mount was certainly feeling the heat!) however it hadn't died after 3 or 4 battery pack, so I went for a high speed run, on the plus side it went straight, also on the plus side we get to replace the 20+ year old esc! downside I have to lend little TerraRoot one of my RC's until his parts get here doughtnut video
Cracked the 3mm ball joint out of it, testing it by sending it down playground slides, thought the link would break first but I seem to have over engineered that.
Race night at coworkers house
We had about 8 trucks racing, this is a backyard track that my coworkers brother built. We had some Losi, Traxxas, Arrma, and a few Tekno.
More DIY buggy
Threw some electronics in it, battery just fits between servo and diff, and it's a roller! Handles nicely on the kitchen floor, more strenuous testing soon.
DIY 3dprinted buggy
Had some left over rc junk, challenged myself to make it go without my usual over designing/thinking/planning procrastinating until I never even start. happy how it turned out! reminds me of a tyco bandit, probably shorten v2 even more and stick that bandit body on.
Just finished my first "real" RC car 🥳
A couple of weeks back I picked up my first RC kit at Modellbau Berlinski in Dortmund, GER. (Great shop btw) Tamiya TT-02 Lancia Delta
I had much fun building it. Although next time I have to take more time for painting + Stickers. 😄 I look forward taking it to the street.
Saw this neat guy at the hobby store today
Met a couple of really neat dudes at the store looking for parts for this guy. I really liked the uniqueness of it.
What did Santa bring you?
I've not had the joy of building a Tamiya kit in ages. I am really looking forward to building this one. My wife got me the kit (under instruction), I've had to sneakily buy the ESC, servo and bearings. Threw in the Tamiya tools set for those JIS screws 😉 #Tamiya #LotusEuropa
No truck needed for this trailer
Self driving trailer... why not.
Used a self balancing kit, added some tires and body. Works on smooth terrain only.
Burnout truck
Based on a scx10ii chassis. 3300kv motor mated to a rc4wd 2 speed trans. Transmission gears have been swapped for higher speeds. Still not enough to smoke the tires. Rear end is an aluminum scx10 driven by an incision driveshaft. Front wheels are airplane landing gear with electric brakes.
Currently has a broken trans due to shifting to 2nd under load. That was stupid
2 very different scx6 builds
Yellow is on a gspeed carbon chassis. Castle 1650 kv and monster x esc. Vitavon knuckles. Injora wheels with 6mm spacers, 2 stage foams wrapped with hyrax tires. GPM shocks, high clearance links, using the stock steering servo. 19.5lbs
Chevy is a primalrc body and partial cage mounted on an extended chassis. Chassis, driveshaft, and rear links stretched by 4.5in. 3d printed and aluminum body/cage mounts. Stock motor and esc, agfrc 78kg steering servo. Custom wheel adaptors for the rovan wheels. 28lbs
literally thrown the paint on
Little terraroot decided the paint scheme, I had to limit him to three as he wanted every can in the shed, he didn't do too bad!
Found some nicer bodies, learning some blender as I go
D12 printed body
Well, stuck it on, little chassis "cage" fits great, think I'll add some more detail to that and release it, clips and so on, since I lost the hardware to fit the orignal body ha.
Also fiat abarth 131 rally spec ought to look nice with those wheels. or an escort mk2. next!
