This is such a cool project. I love all the self-made parts and the fact that you have polished them. Looks great. Can't wait to see it finished. 👍

Today I finally finished my Christmas monster / Blitzer / scorcher mash up project.
Awesome. You've got to love a Blitzer Beetle.

I think it looks great. I like your paitlnt scheme.
For me my painting results are always a bit disappointing as my imagination of the result almost every time differs from the actual result. But when the stickers are on it gets a completely different touch.

Not just today but for the last two weeks I've designed and printed a exhaust for my Porsche Carrera RSR build. The exhaust itself is printed, the pipes are from polished aluminium tube. The design is highly inspired by the original exhaust but not perfectly scale. It still needs paint and probably some filler but I've made a test fit today. It is designed to fix it with two screws to the bumper mount.

Nice crew. All of them look great, but I like especially the MF01-X FJ45 and the QD Beetle. 👍

Dumb question number 2 - What does changing the mount position of the motor actually do?
Can't answer your first question, but you have to change the mount position of the motor as the high speed gear spur has only 68T in contrast to 70T of the kit spur.

That looks like a snake. Great work @Xeostar. Really impressive.

Finally my xmas project is finished. It was hard to withstand for 133€ on sale. It was a nice build but hard to get the BL motor in. And I need to put in a bigger pinion on the 13,5 t HW motor. Standard pinion is a little too slow. Canopy is attached per velcro.
That's a great looking Astute. To install a regular BL motor with the wires on the side is a real pain. What pinion do you use?

When I was a kid a couple of us RC kids stomped around our parents’ yards to make a track with ramps and stuff. We found that we had to pack the snow first before our Frog and Grasshoppers could drive on it. We had a blast..
.. then fever for 3 days..
.. then repeat.
I already had the lawn roller (don't know if it is right word) out, but it didn't work either and I wasn't in the mood to run up and down to pack the snow. So I stopped it there.

Had an afternoon of unsuccessful attempts running one of my RC cars in the snow. Eventually we've got some snow here. Unfortunately it is very heavy snow and all cars, including the Rochobby Willys 1:6, a Wild Dagger on 3S got stuck in the snow and they didn't even make 50 m. Wasn't the fun I've had expected. Now the batteries are back on the charger for storage charging.

That's a nice start. Looking forward to the build.

Fixed up my cc01 and had a blast! I just wish stock tires are softer. They spin like crazy because those tires are hard… Any recommendations that are around the same size?
With part number 54735 those tires are also available in soft compound. But I can't say what soft means. I like the KM tires from MST. Almost same size and good grip for trailing:

I'm using Tinkercad for my 3D desings and I really like it. As said before it is more basic, if you need to create special shapes it could be better to use something else. I've tried to modify a stl-file in Tinkercad which doesn't work.

That's cool. I love that Camaro, I hope you paint it red.
Good luck with this project. Will follow it.

Depending on your definition of budget I would have a look at the Tamiya Sport Tuned motor.

Just realized that the kit RSR body has an antenna hole in the roof.
I'm totally fine with body mounting holes, even if it looks better without them, but an antenna hole on a body from 2013?!

Had a few minutes to strip down the broken Mario Kart RC I got recently and played around with how I might pair it with the grasshopper chassis:
I think I’m actually going to cut about an inch out of the chassis to shorten it and just have Mario onboard. Donkey along is truly a beast and weighs a ton! If I add back the plastic engine and exhausts and then add an oversized rear wing I reckon it could be great.
Any advice on the best way to then put the two halves back together with some actual structural strength?
Make clean cut and glue it back together with plastic glue. For some extra strength glue some styrene stripes inside of the chassis. I've done that with a DT-02 and it's takes hard bashing without any problems including some hard rollover.

@Aerobert Looks good! Are those kit wheels and tires or aftermarket? I too would like to get staggered setup for my street version SandScorcher..
My 420X will run the NBR STI body so non-staggered is fine.
Thanks. Those are the kit wheels. I've just put them on the chassis for the look. I have to take them apart again for painting.

Just finished the build of the TT-02 Porsche 911 RSR chassis. I've build it stock to RWD configuration except for bearings, dampers and pinion.
I love the look of that wide rear wheels.
It makes chassis looks so different to the standard wheels.

If you google RC body pads or body sponge or something like that you will find them as a sponge version. There are also alloy ones available from Yeah Racing. You can also search for body protectors.

Last year I've bought a used F-350 shell and tried to remove the paint like you said. It was nearly impossible. The best results was achieved with graffiti remover in several layers. I put it in a box with a lid for soaking and could brush it off partly with a dishwashing brush. To be honest I gave up in the end and bought a new shell.
Maybe graffiti remover from the hardware store will help you.

Great work! That red looks awesome in the sun.

I have done some 'chrome' application with PS-48 on a truck body. Painted and backed the body first and then painted the bumper with PS-48, backed with black.

Thanks. It's the Rochobby Willys Jeep in 1:6 scale.
