I'm trying to get a C10 body on the Gorgon without cutting the body

[Dangerous_Beard]

I have fired a few weapons but it was during my time in the army and I had a go at clay pigeon shooting over here in the U.K, using a shotgun.

I cant even use mine until I get the body sprayed yellow, the paint I ordered is late so won't arrive until Monday. If the weather is decent I will take it out Tuesday after work for a couple of hours.

I will try to look for your post when you bash it!

It's only a weapon if the intention is to harm people. Otherwise it is called a gun. Stop over anytime and we can shoot some targets. I also just got some slingshots with decomposable clay ammo.

I will take some photos and maybe get a video or two uploaded as well. It really is a lot of fun now I upgraded to lipo batteries. The stock NIMh battery took hours to charge and you got 15 minutes run time max.

Dude! The nimh takes SO long to charge!

More progress, if that's what you would call it.

3 hours charge to bash for 10 minutes, it never made sense to me.

That body suits it. It's like a blackfoot only much more mean looking.

That is a very professional looking job.

It's so NOT professional. For future reference... use 3mm holes. My bolts wont fit. I made those slots 2mm.

Got it bolted up. I need to move the mounts forward one inch it looks like.

I accidentally kicked the rear mount and snapped it before I ever got outside. I am done for today. I have a pretty good reference point at least.

I like this, that bodyshell is giving me some ideas. I might have to get one.

Yes. I just did PLA with 25% infill. I expected it to break but figured I would at least make it outside.

It's a Vaterra 1972 C10

Need to do 100% infill..



or go with PETG with 6 walls.
(I went with 8 , just to be on the safe side.)

Do you have a file that will fit this body? I plan to add an 'x' brace and increase the infill. The front post also I need to account for the forward distance. I'm just experimenting and having fun doing it.
