Yay!

Built one decades ago, doing the rigging made my nose bleed lol.

Oof. Pole position. 👌

You can also get Hex bolts that space the wheels and extend the axles.
Have a poke about on eBay.

Starting my TT02 rally conversion.

Buy yourself a 3d printer, make all the hex adapters and rc bits you might need.

I recently printed some for my fcx24. Gained myself about 4mm more width overall

Well. U need to make sure the material is hard enough. Most 3D printers are not structural.

3D prints are very strong in compression, particularly with simple parts like this.

Edit: Sorry, didn't properly read the above post and missed it referred to parts more generally. In which case I agree.

That's bloody lovely

Nice👌

What are you using to tidy up the top of the body posts?

I've found that a mini pipecutter tool works best.

Just a scalpel then some sandpaper glued to a bit of 5mm plywood to mimic the uncut tops. I paint them with some gloss black on the top too.

I’m currently on with this.

Roughly same size as an M Chassis or is this a Group C?

Same wheelbase as Tamiya M08 chassis in middle setting.

Not tamiya, but so much fun!

I'm like Bowser in a go kart. 😁
