Those are going to be really nice. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see the cast version. What did you end up using for the sleeve material?

Thanks Jeff, those are Pro Track wheels. I will not be copying their wheels. However what I have done is make a sleeve that snaps over the Pro Track wheel. I did this using Auto Desk and my 3D printer. That way I can have a matching Pro Track wheel set. The only casting I will be doing for wheels are my original designs. Those will be a cold cast aluminum.

I have been using an Aztec airbrush for years. One of the features I liked was the ability to quick change the paint cup. My new airbrush let's me use the same Aztec paint cups, I love it. When I am doing several colors I take a tooth pick and put it in the end of the cup, no leaking paint. Then I clean airbrush and switch cups.

Back to an on going project, my wheels. Here is a pic of my sprue tree. The branches all have wax wheels attached. It will then have a metal flask pressed into the black base. Then I will fill it with investment, kind of like plaster only better. Then you burn out the wax and pour in the metal, short version...   |

Awesome stuff Eagle. Love following along with your projects. Thank you! The metal work is a lot more involved. After each wheel is cast in metal I then true them using my lathe. |

New equipment addition to the shop.This is a 3D Resin Printer. The detail with these is amazing. It is like printing a finished product. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it.......   |

Sounds interesting.
Eagle I am now preparing a 6 ohm BSRT car for our match race. I will most likely use a super G+ arm in it. Curious to see how much slower it is with that arm vs the 2.5 presently in it.
