Hiya, I understand, I get the point! They will be ready for sale soon. I hope you all can appreciate that I would like to finish the project before you all show me up with your awesome mods and personal touches. ;) The semi droop is stock shocks with Mini-T rear shock springs iirc. I think it is soft in front and med. in back, but I may change it to firm in the rear. I took the time last night to pull the trans and install one of my Predator 90T motors. I got a few of them a while back, but never took the time to instal and run one... Wow! It is so smooth!!! Runs forever and heaps of torque. I just pulled the pinion off the stock motor and pushed it on the 90T and installed the motor. This was also the first time running on lipo! Completely different machine now. I'm really excited!  Video soon! |

So I had an idea for a wax removal system. Here's a conceptual drawing.

Thanks for the idea LCC I will look into it.  Here are a couple images of the hood mold. I intended to print it today, but will try tomorrow.   |

OK, I retract my last statement. I could NEVER make a body panel like that! I will wait like a good boy |

Update! I made hoods last night! It was late so I didn't post images. But here they are. It worked very well, except I realized I only had 0.030" thick material. That's too thick for this, but I made them anyway. I was right in the middle of reworking the vacuum molder material holding assembly. It was... fun. lol Here are the parts made in UHD mode. I also made the thin spoke and jeep rims we were working on. I will post images soon.    Here are the pucks and a couple pulls.  Painted one black.   |
