very nice car, Aki!
what happened to the tail lights? Or is this car supposed only to run last in the field so it needs no taillights? (sorry, just kidding) ;-)
just paint them on! That nice car deserves it.
will it run on the Little Monte?

Thanks guys.
No Peter, not Little Monte, no co-driver.
I was thinking maybe next ProNoMag but probably not that ether.
One of the printed wheels is not 100% round or the center hole is off.
I can live with but that wouldn't work on Desmo.
Build the chassis over year ago and ether I forgot that or didn't notice it until I got it running.
I remember that there was several 10mm printed wheels that were no good and through some of them away.
I gotta admit that the rear looks bit dull without taillights.
Maybe I'll add them, maybe not, let's see

printed wheels out of round? what a shame, but i did happen to me with the last print i ordered, too.
the were 2 big layer shifts in the print, so the wheels were out of round and not usable. BUT i sent a picture and description of it to shapeways service and they offerd a re-print. So, no harm done.
Always claim if it doesn´t look right!
I would like to see this car on the Desmo!

3D wheels are very round.....but getting them on the axle straight is sometimes a challenge. Which leads to wobble. Any hints are always appreciated. The ones I have been successful with are glued on.
Nice work...these tiny cars are amazing.Come Race at The Trace!

I clean out the inner hole of the wheel with a drill bit slightly thinner than the hole to clear out production left overs. then i push the wheel with my thumb onto the axle, the axle resting against the work bench. works for me with wheels printed from shapeways.
