Thanks everyone for watching. I'm looking forward to showcasing several builds using this suspension in some upcoming videos, as well as seeing your builds that use it. 👍
Could be done though you'll need to source different size hardware, bearings, springs, etc. If you need help with adjusting the size of the bearing holes or other sections let us know. We should be able to make some adjustments pretty easily.
Currently doing a similar build to the Firebird where I'm using the FC-01 with the model car chassis and full interior + detailed engine bay. Not sure when the videos will drop but if you like the Firebird, I'll think you'll like this one as well. 👍
Fusion 360 does still have free hobbyist licenses, you just can't have more than 10 ACTIVE projects but you can activate and deactivate any amount of them as you wish and you can have any amount of unactive projects as well, so it's really not limited much. Can't use advanced features like "tool path" and stuff for CNC but that's about it.
Good to know. Doesn't sound too bad, but if you've been using it for years I can see how those changes might irritate some users. I guess too many people where stretching the definition of "personal" and "hobbyist" for Autodesk's liking. 😆
Wow! Will be following development of this very closely! Definitely interested in this being offered as a physical kit. Although 3D printing is becoming more affordable I just can’t justify the expense at the moment. Being able to incorporate into a 1/24 model car chassis is also a game changer for me - proper scale accurate customisable track widths without the need for inaccurate offset wheels.
Drill/dremel, steel rod slightly larger than ball, file and your magic and you have whatever ball stud you need. One piece and all metal. A little work but worth it. Good job on design.
I love watching the journey of the design. This inspires me to keep trying my own. It may not be on an RC, but this really makes me want to push my own envelope in designing plastic models.
I love the adjustable-tension ball- link ends. I think that is a new invention for RC in general. I've noticed sloppy ball joints are a problem on all the factory 1/24 link-ends currently available..... That I've come across anyway.
It's been a great feature and while this may be the first time it's used on a scale this small, similar adjustable ball ends have been used on some RC chassis' for many years as well as some non RC applications as well.
I have seen your videos and I thought the same, I have a lot of experience with blender, I found that as long you set all units to mm and start with a 1mm cube and scale from here, you can have a reasonable time, but lookup some plugins as stated in the video, some ship with blender. I will check out fusion if it's free or cheep though
10:08 To make gluing the small part in place easier, could you use a mortise and tenon approach for locating the parts more consistently/evenly? I think the mortise in the control arm would need to be a hole to avoid overhangs during printing, but plenty of control arms have been made like that. Just gotta make sure it doesn't weaken it in the wrong direction, I guess. Also, as for drifting, when your stock suspension gets in the way isn't that what angle kits are for? :P
Hey bro have you tried 3d printed ball joints ? Could be pretty cool instead of having to buy or make em could print in place and just screwed in ... love your content btw ❤
For the lower spring locator….. couldn’t you just make a hole for a screw, and use a taller bolt head similar to the motor screws on my 1/10 off road stuff?
After almost finishing mine i found out about the 3d printed chassis. Id like to just order the whole chassis & steering as i dont have a printer but cant find it on shapeways. Let me know please!
I can use fusion 360 year round for free because I have a design class at my HS that I'm in so I guess I'm lucky but I also hate using 360 because that class
Hi! So I have a cr10 and have had it for about 8 months and have printed loads of stuff but I sized up a thingiverse saturn v model to make it like 4 feet long and print it in sections and it's not printing even layers there it has spaces sometimes. Do you have any ideas? I've tried everything to fix it but nothing works.
Ok so if I print other stuff it's fine and looks great but its large circles specifically it doesn't like. I think I fixed it I raised the temperature and lowerd the speed a tiny bit and it seems ok. Thanks for the help!

Fantastic work. I’m curious; could one scale this up? Have you tried for 1/16 or 1/18? My pc for printing is down atm otherwise I’d give it a shot.

@@MakeItRC I’ll let you know what problems I run into scaling up. The bearings might be the hardest to figure out.
This video reminds of the good old firebird days

Don't shill for adobe, have some self respect
Personally, not being able to use fem tools makes it worthless

I'm too old and too low in patience to do what you do. But I find your videos fascinating. Your productions are great. Thank you.
the nerdy stuff is the best stuff😂🤣😂🤯💗

Tinkercad does me good, i use Blender for the major design, like bodies, tinker cad for everything else like engines and suspensions, etc etc

@@MakeItRC awesome! Thank you for the reply my friend
Your projects are simply fantastic
Great job, can't wait to see this at the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo!
This assembly looks amazing. I have thought about jewelry bead for ball joints myself. Thank you!
Looks great! Can’t wait to see how you use it in the upcoming projects!
This dude always make my day better hehehehe AMAZING JOB BRO

Could anyone tell me what kind of bearings does he use for these builds?
Sup homie. Any lowrider parts ??
Do you sell them for the 85 cutlass 1/25

I seem to have got it working... after 4 days lol
Is it just when printing that object or does it do it no matter what object you are printing? Basically is the problem software or hardware related?
Ok so if I print other stuff it's fine and looks great but its large circles specifically it doesn't like. I think I fixed it I raised the temperature and lowerd the speed a tiny bit and it seems ok. Thanks for the help!
Fusion changed bro, the free"" version is super limited now
Interesting, that's disappointing. I appreciate the info. Maybe a "trying different free CAD options" would be an interesting video topic.
You can just have 10 „active“ designs at once.
That’s nearly it
Lol sick I was the 1000th view 😆
can i have 220 dollars?
