So I know it has been a while since I've posted, and truth be told I had gotten out of RC. But I am not entirely sure one can EVER really get out of the hobby. Things still stick around and lay in boxes hidden from sight. So a few weeks ago I picked up a 3D printer. Familiar with 3D modeling and 3D printing it got me rummaging through old boxes of what lay left of my rc collection. Low and behold I found my 1/24th scale losi trophy truck, brushless setup and servo. No 2.4ghz receiver or transmitter, or lipo for that matter.

Short trip on amazon and Ive got a Flysky Fs-gtC and a venom 30c 450mah 2s pack on route. It's still a work in progress, as this is fairly small and measurements are tricky and need to be precise, as well as scaled to account for Filament shrinkage during printing.

I am aiming for a rwd scale drift car, no more F1 unfortunately.

Here is a slight teaser of what I have so far and what is coming, with specs on what I have changed over stock.

Chassis:
Lengthen and widened
Solid motor mount with under chassis fine adjustment
Front mounted servo, lipo and receiver
Rear mounted motor and esc
Redesigned front upper A-arms for 1,2,3 Deg camber adjustments
Redesigned Steering rods for Toe in/out Adjustment
Redesigned Shock Tower for inboard shocks
Upper Chassis Brace for regidity
Custom Rims for Offset
Custom Knuckles
Custom Servo Saver

The complete chassis was designed by myself, however the widebody BRZ shell was taken from a 3D warehouse. Although it might be less work for me to create my own. However, that is the look I am going for.

Sorry for the lack of updates prior, but do stay tuned!
