New Ardun finally done with this one. Also noteworthy if you look closely the belts are slightly a different color, I have a new mix I run just for belts that makes them much more durable.

Looks great. That mix for the belts, perfect.

Well, the feedback/reviews on here were too good as were the pictures of your products, Charles.  So...I pulled the plug on 2 engines and a transmission for future projects.  Looking forward to getting them.

I hope they meet your expectations but I still think they are some of the best printed engines available and some of the more unique offerings.

Let me add my kudos to Texas 3D.  I ordered a set of the Baja fenders, they are superb. Thinner than kit styrene so look more realistic, really looking forward to getting my workbench back into order so I can do something with them. Will definitely be ordering some more stuff in the future.

Ive noticed that the wheels/tires are not available in  1:12 scale. Id really like to order a set for my 12th scale 2010 Shelby. 

 

Also I just ordered a 12th scale Boss 302 twin turbo and cannot wait for it to get here; after seeing the quality of parts in this thread I am super excited.

So yeah that's an issue with time and cost. Rubber resin is really expensive, I could do 1:12 and 1:16 scale tires but price wise I am not sure how feasible it would be, and another caveat would be I wouldn't do drag radials at that size. People complain about $30 a set for 1:24 drag wheels, 1:12 is 8 times the volume of 1:24 so there's that.

Makes sense.  The wheels/tires I was after are the Drag Lites with Drag radials. Thanks for the reply.
