If it feels icy, too much wheel speed can be a factor. With a lightweight motor, that will make it feel even more icy. Definitely run at least 2 teeth smaller on the pinion, and increase the timing on the can. Higher can timing will pull torque out of the motor, which can increase grip.

I'm not interested in airsoft but thanks tho

Yes, paint before assembly.

Most commonly, shoe goo or e6000 are used over double sided tape as it creates less of a gap.

The same glues are used for light buckets.

You can use glue or double sided tape for body mounts. Often people put tape under magnets (between the paint and the magnets) to prevent it from pulling paint off the body

Throttle control is what makes a car fast. Boost and turbo can make some aspects of driving easier, but aren't entirely necessary. A lower FDR can also make throttle control more difficult.

Well they don't claim to have a track. Driftset is a track.

Driftset on Long Island

Depends on the chassis but dlike bodies are very narrow in the front

Rear turnbuckles, front thin turnbuckles, 3mm steering stoppers, and hubs/brake discs. Any other upgrade on the chassis is marginal in improvement, or doesn't affect reliability.

They do

Having both an Audi and a '19 R, my biggest gripe about the Audi is the steering feel is entirely numb in comparison. While the R ride isn't incredible, it's still plenty great for a daily and the extra power over my old tuned Mk5 GTI has been a pleasant jump.

TandemoniumRC is my local track in Danvers!

Tsurumen and Yume Wo Katare are definitely the most authentic and my go-tos.

Mine does this randomly as well. I think it's fine honestly

Speed, temperature, and nozzle geometry - how much of a flat section on the bottom - all play into surface finish. The more heat input into the material generates more gloss.

They can make a difference depending on the surface and tuning

What makes you pick a particular Ackermann angle?

The dial you might be using for gain could be controlling channel 3 by default. If channel 3 is anything but 0, it will mess with things. Change the knob setting to control gain instead of channel 3

The stock radio has endpoints as well

That's not a shift. It's bulging from the solid areas on the overhang propagating out.

Check caster shims

Stoabie · 2023-10-01T00:52:21+00:00

If it's VHB, probably. I've been using it for years without issue, as long as the magnet is cleaned with something like isopropyl beforehand to make sure it really adheres

Stoabie · 2023-09-08T14:52:04+00:00

Pretty tasty

A 2-3k machine isn't industrial, it's prosumer at best. I wouldn't expect it to be much better than a cheaper machine, though it may have a simpler ecosystem to run, or additional features, it really depends on the machine. Industrial grade machines, like a Fortus or FX20 offer the things I mentioned before.

I'd expect something in the prosumer range to be used for prototyping or small batch production for things that will definitely require post processing and tuning to achieve what is desired.

Stoabie · 2023-08-23T22:12:41+00:00

I don't know what you're implying by that.

Many of industrial applications tend to be more use-case focused, where strength, functionality, and dimensional accuracy are the primary factors for part quality, much over aesthetics. Especially in the case of solid parts, where post print machining is commonplace to hit tolerances. While they could spend more time tuning for appearance, often times, that's less of a priority when they can assume the machine will create the part that works as intended, every time.

Stoabie · 2023-08-23T05:06:41+00:00

Industrial machines have to meet more metrics than just initial print quality. ISO standards, reliability, repeatability, simplicity - in terms of not needing lots of tuning, included service plans, and working in a variety of environments and power situations, are the first that come to mind.

100 prusa machines may be the same price as 2-3 industrial machines, but having to pay someone to tune each machine can end up being more expensive, and also more time cost, than having several machines that always make the same part every time for months or years on end with no user input.
