1:8 Scale Wheels in 3d print
Ralph Torres replied to mnagatani's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Do you have a store or just here? I like your idea about the wheels but i can tell you from my experience of doing these 1/12 Camaros, we need more tire options than anything.. the first kits that came out came with 14inch GoodYears and slicks, and the newer Foose kit comes with larger style tires BFG's.. theres really no options out there. If your lucky to find tires from a RC car thats great but you are most lickly alone and hope they fit the wheel you have... so yeah we need tire options..? -
Looking good so far.. keep building on..

Nice...?l like your taste.

I make them... look through my thread on pro touring and pro street and youll see them. Originally they belonged to a good friend and i modified them to be a little deeper. One is a 15x7 and the other is a 15x8. I have the caps also. -

1/12 sanders wheels
Ralph Torres replied to MicroNitro's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Unfortunatly Nitro Micro sold the bussiness and the new owner doesnt make them anymore in 1/12... Derrick sold that 57 to me but he used the wheels on his 1/12 Camaro.. -
Large scale LS1?
Ralph Torres replied to drummerdad's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I never got a message from you.. maybe something went wrong but yes i scratched built an LS motor and a Mountain Motor for the 1/12 Camaro... i havent really been on here much because i started on a 1:1 project and has been taking up all of my time.. The 3D Ls3 from shapeways is,a beautyfull piece...i bought a complete engine. You wont be dissapointed... my friend Ron Olsen is the owner and he will have many more parts available soon... -
Love it Derrick.. glad your building again..

Made an oil pan for the new motor using .030 and .040 sheet styrene.. touched it up with filler putty. Im prety happy with it.. motor and pan clear the chassis on the camaro so it should fit other 1/12 cars. -

Started on the front suspension.. its workable. Need to add brake lines, master cylinder, anti sway bar, and more nuts and bolts. -

I added more detail to the 1/12 LSX. All the nuts and bolts, sparkplugs, ans AN fittings are from RB Motion. Alclad 2 was used for paints.
