I run my LunchBox at my elementary school playground/parc. Theres 2 baseball fields and tons of cool obstacles to jump off. At the end of the evening, I just sit and watch the sun set. Great brake from the family craze :) Thanks for sharing your childhood memories!
The nostalgia in this update is top notch!!! My Tyco Bandit and my two FF01s are running flawlessly and taking the abuse in stride 💪💪💪. I DM’d you a month ago pics of the Primera FF01 and the blue Clio FF01 on your FB page. Thanks as always!
Gutted that shapeways is gone. Im glad i got my hornet parts in time, but disappointed i never got build a superfly. Also, great vifeo. I love the stories, and the old footage of you and your rc10 is great!
I'm at a loss right now. I had 5200 parts there optimized for SLS., MJF and Polyjet prints. Without them, almost nothing I have can be translated into FDM. Glad you liked the video!
Thanks for the cool trip down your, quite literal, memory lane! It is funny how some things change and other stay almost exactly the same over the years! BTW I heard about the mess about Shapeways and sorry about that. I knew you used them pretty much exclusively and I hope you are able to pivot to other places without a ton of trouble. Best of luck, I know it has to be a big PITA!
Im glad you liked it. I was happy I got to go in the school! The loss of shapeways is a disaster for AMPro. All profits there went right back into the company and without them, we are in trouble.
@@AMPROEngineering I am very sorry to hear that. I really hope you can find another vendor to use for this. I know selling the files is a terrible way of doing it as the get reshared and distributed elsewhere so fast it is almost pointless. I really hope you guys can find another platform to use. Wishing you guys all the best! Wish there was more I could do.
I also have wanted one. I used to have a US Contour but for some reason, the 1st gen EU Mondeo Hatch/Sedan was always a car I wanted to import to the US.
Working on a home addition and now dealing with fallout from shapeways closing.... I used a long selfie stick. It works well (would work better with some more practice lol)
right now only MyMiniFactory. There is no company like shapeways. There is a link to MMF in the description but this is only for home prints. We are working on a solution. So sorry about this.
@AMPROEngineering No worries! I did find you on MMF and purchased a file, but there was an issue. I sent you a PM through MMF, and hoping to hear back. Thank you!
As you probably know shapeways is no more. Is there a company with similar services where you intend to upload your designs? Very disappointed to not have bought your wheels before they shut down. Edit: Videos like this make me think of my youth and reminisce about better times....😢
Yes indeed. I am currently working on a couple of alternatives but they had great prices and were very easy to use. I had over 5000 parts in my store so its going to be a nightmare to get this going again.
Yes. I had 5200 RC Car parts in my store. All profits from sales went right back into AMPro development. Now there will be zero sales and no way, at the moment, to get people the parts in the materials they were designed for.
@@AMPROEngineering have you considered working with a site like PCBWay they can print stuff in a variety of materials and some metals. I am sure they were looking at a store front type set up a while ago.
These are some cheap standard touring car tires with AMPro wheels that have a fake side wall. They are on the AMPro MyMiniFactory store to be downloaded (link in description).
Very nice. I still go and run my RCs at a huge park where I live. The park has been there since the 1950s. Hey, You hear Shapeways is going out of business? I bought a Lot of your designs through them. I have no idea what I am going to do now. I have a Sand Scorcher I want to finish with your door panels and dash parts.
Yeah this has been here a while too! I was alerted the morning it happened. I was one of the first shops and had 5200 parts there....no idea what will happen now.
@@AMPROEngineering Well, if you hear of any update or alternate places we can get your designs printed, let us know. I am a big fan of your work and designs.

Yeah I used to run my Pumpkin here too! So many packs...
I think it's awesome that you can walk down memory lane.
Well thank you. I was worried no one would like this video.
back in the old days, exciting !
Yeah that is how it felt. I was so happy to do this again.
Yeah, another video 🎉, thanks for sharing your memories
Yeah its been a while. Glad you liked it!
Great episode, love the old footage 👍🏻
Thank you! I had to throw that in.

Oh man my Bandit could also have gone here for filming! That car got serious run time there. I saw! Didnt I reply to you? They look amazing!
@@AMPROEngineering you did, just wanted you know I’m on here too 😝
Any plans on rear suspension updates/upgrades for the FF01?
Good memories! :)
Oh yeah.
i love those rims and tires
Thank you!
Man that thing is smooth
Yeah it runs awesome. Now that it has the new AMPro transmission it is a lot happier.
Following the car low to the ground from behind reminds my of an old N64 game Re-Volt! Loved that game!!
Yay... I played it on pc in 1024x768 back than 😅
I know that game! Hahah!
@@AMPROEngineering Game is available with a modern port called RVGL if you'd like to get hold of it, a lot of mods available as well.
I painted my mondeo in the same Tamiya yellow ran it that way in the Euro Cup for several years like that.
Wow no way? That's awesome. I really want to import a first gen.

Cool 😊
Thanks I love this car.
Ford pinto, mighty max now thats my language. Ford without a hood oh man...
Given I own 4 Ford Pinto's, I was always a fan. Hahah
Putting literally milage on your car, awesome..😊
If you saw the underside of that chassis....lol!
@@AMPROEngineering ☺️
Thumb made that look sick! I rented one of those one trip to England. I slept in it one night. It was a 5 door.
I love the 5 door. I had a Contour SVT (that was based on the 2nd gen) for a while but it was the EU mondeo I always loved, thanks to this car.
Always wanted one of those Mondeos. Not been able to afford one agrevated by the fact that the full size Ford was everywhere in the UK at that time!
I also have wanted one. I used to have a US Contour but for some reason, the 1st gen EU Mondeo Hatch/Sedan was always a car I wanted to import to the US.
@AMPROEngineering had a mk2 Fiesta, a Mk4 Escort, a Mk2 Sierra and currently drive a Mk3 Focus so guess that makes me a Ford guy hey? 😉👌
🍿 🙌
Glad you liked it!
Sorry to see Shapeways going out of business. It was on Scale News Update this morning.
Its tragic and horrible how the handled it.
I put your logo on my blue in my last video. I do that as a fan thing to those channels I watch. I hope that's ok.
I appreciate it! Thank you for the support.
@@AMPROEngineering always!
😎
Glad you liked it!
Where have you been (youtube wise)! How do you film the close following of the car? Another car with camera or on foot with a stick or something?
Working on a home addition and now dealing with fallout from shapeways closing.... I used a long selfie stick. It works well (would work better with some more practice lol)
@@AMPROEngineering I had no idea shapeways is closing. Thanks for your answer take care!
Hey Ampro- since Shapeways appears to have gone bad, is there going to be another way to get your products?
right now only MyMiniFactory. There is no company like shapeways. There is a link to MMF in the description but this is only for home prints. We are working on a solution. So sorry about this.

@@AMPROEngineering I feel you! It's going go be a lot of work, but would be a pity if they would be lost.
It's important to take your RCS on daily walks. They need exercise..... and to go potty 🤣
Very true! Hahahah!
shapeways is shutting down and I cant buy some of your upgrades. do you have another site we can go to?
We are working on it. This has been disastrous for us.
It is to bad the bt01 and the mb01 have a lot of problems the concept of them are cool.
Unfortunately I do not know anything about those chassis. I do have an MF01x and I am NOT impressed.
@@AMPROEngineering check the xm01 pro.
Will the news about Shapeways affect you?
Yes. I had 5200 RC Car parts in my store. All profits from sales went right back into AMPro development. Now there will be zero sales and no way, at the moment, to get people the parts in the materials they were designed for.
@@AMPROEngineering have you considered working with a site like PCBWay they can print stuff in a variety of materials and some metals. I am sure they were looking at a store front type set up a while ago.
Do you still own the ford pintos?
3 Pinto's, one Pangra and one Bobcat though the bobcat is up for sale.
I’m obsessed with pintos I just got a rc pinto I’m waiting on it to be delivered
I heard Shapeways is going out of business.
Yup, right now the AMPro store with all 5200 parts is gone.
@@AMPROEngineering so what are you going to do?
What rims and tires are in that
These are some cheap standard touring car tires with AMPro wheels that have a fake side wall. They are on the AMPro MyMiniFactory store to be downloaded (link in description).
