I decide to start a topic to get all the suggestions about what TDR can do for us, we all looking for performance parts.

people who are already suggesting something to them can let us know...

this is the link to contact him... TDR.innovations@gmail.com

https://sites.google...tdrinnovations/

I have already bought about 350$ of product from him and are very satisfied about the quality of is work.

This is not a commercial topic, its just that if we want parts, he have to know which parts will be popular.

I wrote this to TDR...

"Hi, I just want to know if you have as a project to scale down to 1:16 the following parts in ultra frosted details materiel...

426 hemi timing chain cover, water pump, alternator and starter.

A kobelco 18-71 intake can be cool to...

Note that I'm not in a hurry, but I think many people can want to buy these parts, 1:16 scale become more and more popular and 426 hemi is a very nice engine.

Tanks"

I will post is answer

Hey Luc I hope Tim gets back with you.. Just as an FYI most of the parts are created by modelers and provided to TDR to sell. A good example is the engine parts and the screw blowers were all created by Dave Smith in true scale 1:1. I know Dave and even Phantom1 is spending or spent many dollars in having stuff created such as scale 1:1 pro mod bodies.. Just to have them done up in 3D before they could be printed in 3D.

Really for us, it is about going out and either using cad and creating the things we want or find someone to do them. Then reach out to Tim to see of it is something he would be interested in putting on his site.

is answer...

"Getting our engines down into the 1/16 scale is a goal of ours. We just have so many other things in the works right now that we just don't know when we will get to it.

Thanks for asking though. We will get them there, I just don't know when"

I think I will not disturb him again and I will be patient..

Having had my chance to work with Tim (TDR) and give him my ideas, he's really open to anything you want.

As Bart was saying, Tim needs real world dimensions and photos to make something. He's true to scale and won't just throw something out there - I have to commend him for this. He won't make something without dimensions because he needs the info to put into the computer. Then he just presses a few buttons and whamo-slamo a new part. That's why his stuff is so realistic - because it's a scale version of the real thing.
