Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Seems like the first quarter of 2015.

Although it would be great if he'd have them out in time for the holiday season! I've got a donor rig all set to go.

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

I got the rims going. Need to add laser cut beadlock rings next, cause it's easy and get it out of the way. The chassis kits will be, several laser cut Delrin designs, and the Goat, then the Specter. Then I will finish the Eclipse 3D chassis, then maybe make some trailer kits. The majority of the development is complete, but there are stocking and packaging to do and documentation for assembly guides. Then the website which currently is a gooey mass of randomly oriented 1's and 0's. :D

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Any updates Jim?

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Except for skipping the laser cut beadlock rings, I'm on schedule. I've got the laser cut delrin chassis line progressing. Finish up kitting the 4 link chassis, the 6x6 chassis, and the Eclipse, then the Goat.

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

It's a joke right?

A guy does this for his business, has massive hours invested, and gives away his designs?

Sorry...just blew my mind:shock:

Funniest part is this isn't the first time someone has asked the same question...

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Sure I will update this. I'm a few days from releasing two, four link chassis kits. I'm gaining confidence on the semi style chassis and it will be an easy kit to put together. Due to the lackluster response for the Eclipse I may skip it and do the Goat next. The Specter, as cool as it is, is a major pain in the ass to build and work on. I have concerns with it's overall strength, as everyone wants to put sumo axles and miclaws and 3S lipo, etc. I am establishing my new companies reputation on some rock solid Delrin based chassis kits, then I will try the Goat, which is 3D printed, but as two parts with styrene standoffs, not an all one piece chassis. If it goes well I will consider selling the Specter.

hey now:evil:

:mrgreen: in my defense, I only asked about the tuber because it turned DOA and it was my favorite chassis.

I'd still love it if you made that one Jim, but i get that scale parts and ladder chassis' are the bigger seller. just make sure you put me on the list if it gets resurrected "thumbsup"

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

hey guys im a little late to the party but i think im realy for jim to take all of my money.. i read throught the whole thead and almost all the other ones of his micro creations. i would like to say good job jim "thumbsup" im jealous of your machinery and your skills. i will eventualy have the capabilities and the machinery to do the same wherever you leave off

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Ok, I have very good news. Everything is ready and the Specter kits will be available in a few short weeks. If all goes well, by the end of August. The frames will be made with nylon rather than acrylic, so there will be much less concern from using Sumo axles. It's also going to be much cheaper than I had thought. Thank you all for your ridiculous patience.

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Nice. Just pulled my TT out of a box in the garage. It's ready for a new chassis!

Here is the vendor page complete with assembly information. Let me know what you think.

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Page and instructions are excellent, Jim! Great work as usual.

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Wow, just skimmed over all pages, you have put alot of time in effort into these. Well done.

Re: Jim's Specter! O.o
 

Thanks hotwheels I do tend to go overboard. haha

I just wanted to post a couple pictures of the Specter I used for the assembly guide.
