Thanks for the explanation. Had thought that it may have had fibers in it like fiberglass, to make it stronger. I would imagine that successfully completing a design would be very satisfying.  |

Yes, some filaments do have fibers for example carbon fiber as well as metal. I have mixed aluminum into resin and it looks real enough, but it becomes more brittle. They 3D folks have a ton of material for the 3D maker to play around with. |

This is my latest Rim Design. I call it the T/A Mag. Since I make several different 3D printed chassis I thought it would be cool to have a nice selection of rims to choose from. I started out using predesigned rims and rescaling them. This was a failure as they are not designed for racing. They are designed for static models. So I came up with my own way of designing rims. All my rims both front and rear are double flanged. The cool part is I can make what ever diameter and width I need. Anyway here is a photo of the T/A Mag. If you look close at the gold rim the flange has a carbon fiber look.

Here is a new 3D printed body already primer, Pontiac Grand Prix. It is setting on my newest 3D printed chassis. I call it the Turbo Plus. It features 2 axle positions, adjustable traction magnets Neo 52. The chassis has a pickup bump guard and a much narrower rear end to tuck in those tires.

I have been working on this chassis for awhile. It is a low narrow profile chassis. I designed it to fit a series of F1 and Indy style bodies. It will also fit the new hot rod bodies I will be introducing. The rear tires in the photo are .507" diameter. They are mounted on a double flange mag rim. Here are a few photos of the Stiletto.

Good looking chassis Robert! If you get a chance can you post a pic with one of your F1 type bodies sitting on it? Thank you for posting these! Sweet Bulgatti in the background there.....

Right on!! That looks really good Robert. Chassis fits the body and vice versa very nicely! That is a crazy looking armature in the chassis. Thank you for posting. |

This is a project body a 57 Cadillac Pro Mod. It is setting on version 2 of the can motor chassis. I changed the chassis name to the Raptor. The stock motor is 6 ohm. The one in this setup is 2.8 ohm. I have another Cadillac a 59 Hearse I will be 3D printing soon. I was thinking about running the 59 Cadillac Hearse with a Raptor chassis setup in the Halloween Race, but I just read that can motors are not welcome. No big deal instead of super stock I will make it a wicked neo setup.
