    Looking good! Love the stuff you do.
    Also, after doing the front double arm conversion (with 20mm offset arms) on my hornet with the upper camber links mounted on top of the chassis with the included mount, I noticed that when the suspension is compressed, the camber will go a little bit positive with a bit of tow out. To cure this all you need to is move the top camber link holes on the C-hubs 5mm or so up (which would mean making new C-hubs) bringing the camber link more parallel with the lower control arm and eliminating almost all of the alignment changes when the suspension travels up and down. You can simply test this by making some holes 5mm apart on a piece of styrene, which is easy to do, and mounting it on the C-hub so you now have one hole 5mm higher to mount the camber link to. Also, yes, I've tested it.
    Anyway, I like the suspension conversion, I have some AMPRO parts on my Hornet and like how it handles on the track, even with the straight axle it's still an improvement. LOL, now I need to buy more battery doors for the rest of my hornets and grasshoppers.

      thanks! Yeah I had planned this for this build but that upright is used in a lot of builds that wont work with that. I may for this in the future.

      @@AMPROEngineering I have water to carpet race my Hornet/Hopper/Rockbuster since i saw a May 1989 article in RCCA titled Highway Hornet.
      Unfortunately back then I lacked money as a poor HS freshman who was saving for a real car, and now my city lacks an RC track, and any RC hobby stores of any kind - for a metro pop of 500+K that is to me unthinkable.

    So what might be the odds of redoing a little cosmetic/reinforcement to the chassis and building a SuperflyIII_Lunchbox or Midnight_Pumpkin_SuperflyIII, for those that end up running on lawns monster trucks are the solution to conquer grass.

    So how much does something like this cost vs a hornet??

    • @AMPROEngineering
      @AMPROEngineering  3 місяці тому +1

      I built mine in full SLS so easily 3 times what the hornet costs plus all the hardware and other bits. If you go FDM, then a couple rolls of filament and hardware/other bits.

    Cool build and very interesting.🎊 I'm wondering if you sell 3-D parts. I'm interested in many extra ideas and parts but I have no printer or where I can buy. Can you please teach me?
    Thanks in advance

      Hello Edward, thank you for the kind words. I sell printed SLS Nylon parts on Shapeways (there is a link to my store in the description) and MyMiniFactory for home prints (also a link there). You can also go to amproengineering.com where I have links to both sites. Shapeways does ship world wide. I hope that helps. Please note that I do not respond to replies so please post a new comment and I will see it. thank you!
