Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out so far.

Who's going to be your driver for this one, Eric? Stan? Kenny? Oh, that's right...they killed Kenny (you bastards).

My driver this time is going to be either myself or my Dad. Playing with some software that you can make a 3d model off a picture. Then I can print myself?

It was only a matter of time..."I, mgputer"...very Asimovian.

Shinchu · 12-10-2018, 01:23 PM

yes, Asimovian. not will smithian. bleh.
or maybe even Michael ketonian?

either way, im curious to see how it turns out. i have found some figures who look almost like me but printing my own likeness sounds cool.

I figured I can't find anything as ugly as myself so I'll have to make myself myself? Though the KR11 is pretty close but lacks huminoid features.

If you think you can stomach the 1:1 and the 1/10 at the same time you got it!

I worked on putting my ascender parts into the TMX axles. Everything worked as planned except for the axle tube end bearings. They use a different size. I believe it is a 5x12x4. Also I need a new input shaft as I snapped a screw off in the hole. I can't post pictures currently as my account was suspended.

Nice. The TMX are a GCM axle housing? Made specifically for the Ascender?

mgputer · 12-15-2018, 01:22 PM

They are made for the cmax chassis but they use ascender gear's. The offset diff makes it so you use the axle shafts for the TMX and the bearings are different for the tube and. The diff is flipped also.

Suspended? What you do? Post to many helpful threads or something? SMH.

I made a mistake and technically tried to post an ad in the forsale forum twice within the 15 day time period.

It is what it is. I'll be able to upload pics again 12/31!

So lot's has changed on the scout. I got the Chassis mostly set up with leafs and have the body ready for paint. Got bumpers on and v8 printed. Just need to assemble and paint it. Scale transmission installed. Rear shocks are done. I also started building the engine bay. Coming together nicely.

Which leaf springs did you use? I’ve got the tamiya ones for a bruiser
I think, and they are super stiff. Nice work getting everything together by the way 👍
