fuck me you got a Saint Dragon.... kudos to you.

It's not mine, going to get shipped home on Thursday! Fun / mad bodyshell. Looks like you could drop it on any chassis.

Yessss!!!! I need to dig all mine out, I used to have a sorts of motors and weights.
would be a dream to race again!

holy crap!

sell it? its as close as i'll ever get to owning an evo

big news today.

back in 2011 I tweaked my 14th scale racer and created a new chassis layout. then i got out of the hobby a year or so later and sold it. Since then i've kept an eye out for one as I always regretted it.
also turns out that a couple of years later it became the go to layout for the 1/10th fwd race buggies, so it really was ahead of its time.

Today I found one, totally randomly hooked on to it by a buddy who friend bought it from gumtree.
Doing a swap and picking it up later, couldn't be happier.

Heh.

You can still pick up OG stuff on ebay if you don't mind waiting...

Got the Hi Lux Jnr for my eldest a few years back.

I am gonna try and 3D print the TF spoiler which was lost in a house move first. 😎

Fuck Me.

LFGSS cleans up.

Also.

I am sorry but all these new 'Hyper Cars' (Aston / Lambo / Fezza etc) are just MINI4WD ripoffs.

#changemymind

you're not wrong

Had an unexpected bill arrive, selling all I can (few bike bits gone already today), if I were to sell the DN01 ( on TC) how much do you think I could get realistically?

£100? Assuming it’s just the roller. I sold a DB01 roller for £140 for reference.

I’d have the special Cy bits and diff if you want shot of those separate.

Downloaded a chassis template for my 3D print tolerance...

What CAD program is that? I like the shading, it looks part Magic Marker hand render, part 90s Manga.

Just Max. My go to bread n butter. Is stylized ink shading in the viewport.

I modelled this in Rhino but had to tweek in 3DS.

Hoping it works in STL.

Sick.

3D print is a go...

Updates...

So I have acquired another donor chassis for the 3D print.

I have cut it down to fit. 😎
