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.

Big pain in the keister to print as well

That's kinda scary sounding 

If you knew Brian and have met him in person, you would know he is quite the gentle giant.

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.
