What's the wall thickness John?

Kevan,
         Quick wandering of the vernier shows 1.4mm for main walls going down to @0.9mm on fins & wings.

Cheers

1.4mm is indeed lardy

Well, yes.....but 35g told you that.   Interesting to see if the 1/32 file is thinner than the scaled down 1/24 file.

In any event.....hope you get a nice car that runs out of the deal.

Wolf Dallara.

Designed this shell some time ago and its associated chassis for wood track racing, so needing a plastic track version I dusted off the body file gave it a few tweaks and a new chassis specifically for plastic track racing for inline boxer. 

Body, wing, trumpets, chassis, pod, suspension plates & guide 3d printed the driver is a resin cast by a mate. Pod has a 1mm offset axle held in Slot It spherical bearings and rear wheel & tyres borrowed off an NSR F1.

My ongoing builds of the latest Le Mans Hypercars - to say the porsche has been difficult is an understatement.

1/24 F3 1980s…

A while ago had a dabble creating a 1/24 F3 shell and chassis from the 1980s period, several iterations led to the shell shown below. The idea was that F3 cars are narrow track i.e. sub 70mm (smaller than the 1/24 Escort etc) so could race on plastic club tracks. The original chassis was too complex/ stiff for plastic club tracks so the performance didn’t inspire and I shelved the project. Fast forward I thought I would have another go and printed a slightly revised shell as below to fit on a new soft flex chassis.

[attachment=32229]

The chassis, shell, wing, exhaust, intake, front tyres (TPU) and driver (hiding) are all FDM printed, running gear is BRM from the 1/24 Escort with the BRM large IL cog and a Allslot motor at 9:34 gearing. Car shown below with the parts fitted straight from the printer (supports removed).

Performance now on the club track i.e. cornering is greatly improved, and the chassis will clearly take a lot more grunt than the yellow Allslot boxer, so a transplant is in order.

Cheers
