Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Me too…

@@customfabrications where can buy your 3d model?

@@DanteMx01 the files are on thingiverse for free. This actual model already sold.

@@customfabrications where ?

@@DanteMx01 here is the link; www.thingiverse.com/thing:4097191

That would definitely be a great idea for the monogram tires. Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for the deigostini ones.

Dear@@customfabrications, Of cause I meant “becoming flat!” I am so sorry for my bad English, well there we are!

@@salvelegio1425 😁

Thank you very much!

Thanks! And I sure hope so! There’s still time for me to screw its up though…

Looking at the kit parts, you see “F” and “R” on the inside of the wheel

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the heads up, and for watching and commenting!

I don’t see any different markings on the Deagostini tires, but one is slightly wider than the other. But the bead area seems the same, so my wheels should be ok. But I’m assuming the wider wheels are rear? Thanks again!

@@customfabrications it may be obviated by your “build it all” approach, but the front kit wheels have a longer and beefier hub that the “axle” goes through.

@@customfabrications all 4 kit tires are the same, and the wheels have the same offsets. It’s just the inside of the hub that’s different

I’m still not exactly sure how the numbering system works. I think it’s one of those things where I’d have to have both in front of me to physically look at.

As long as it’s cheap and it works, I’m ok with it!

Sorry, I don’t remember. The case it was in is long gone.

Cool! You in the stunt man business? Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@customfabrications Haha! not hardly.. I'm retired but I volunteer out at the local public safety training center to help stage their own crashes to gather information and data for their accident reconstruction classes. They get good data with all crashes and I have a ball! A little of the mayhem and madness we have done can be seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/Td7kBKz7JLM/w-d-xo.html

@@customfabrications Ha! No stunt man here. Since I retired I've done some volunteer work out at the local public safety training center rigging up cars to stage crashes for data to use in their accident reconstruction classes. Some of the past madness and mayhem we've done can be seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/Td7kBKz7JLM/w-d-xo.html

@@W4STJ cool! Fun stuff!

I split each hood section (front to back) into about 3 pieces and held each end into the correct position while bonding the seams back together. Then fill and sand the gaps. I had to do this a few times to get it correct, but that’s mainly because the filler I used would shrink, and warp the hood again. So once I figured out what was happening, I used bondo as the main filler. I show all of this in a few earlier videos if you need more detail info. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! And I guess you could make it as big as you want.

eBay?

Yup! Thanks for watch’n!

Thanks! I appreciate you!

Thanks for the info! I had no idea about the spare. I just looked at the other three I got. And yea, I need another tire. Not only is the tread different, but they are actually a tighter fit to the wheels I’m making. They’ll still work though, thankfully. Let me know if you have a tire you can sell me. If not I’ll go back to eBay. Thanks again!

@@customfabrications I will take a look at what I've got. I think I could swap you a regular tire for the spare that you have. I might have three spares here that I could make a set with if I had yours. I'll dig around and see what I can come up with. I didn't realize the spare was so different until I installed it on the model and something just didn't look right.

@@GenXPertChannel that would be great, thanks! If not, no worries, I can do eBay. But if so, you can email me. blueracecars@gmail.com

Thanks!

Cool! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello sir! I have been watching your channel for a long time and I have built some of these little models, I just wanted to say that I love the hands on your doing here with the instructions iinstruction sheet in view and real time assembly! Thank you.

Thanks! I appreciate that!@@johnoldham538

Only thought I have is if there is some slop in the feedback pot.

@customfabrications I have tried different pots. And I checked if the resistance changes, it does. It's like that small servo controller has some huge error margin for middle. @21:57 of your video, that one little spot is a big spot for me case. 😂

Sure! I’ve found several online, so I should be ok. But you never know. More is better. Thanks! Blueracecars@gmail.com

I honestly don’t know the technically correct answer. I think it depends on where you start. I typically start on the left side, so moving right would be positive. But I really don’t know if it matters as long as you don’t lose track of where you are.

Probably. I’m not going to be too concerned about perfect camber angle though😏. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks 👍

Thanks! I appreciate you! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks! I appreciate the kind comment!

Thanks! I did think about molding the tires. The problem with my CNC router is that I’m not that good at it yet. I’m struggling to learn CAM. I do have a 3D printer, but getting the fine tread details to show sharply and removing the layer lines could be an issue. I actually did think about molding the new tire and casting copies of that, but with the cost of the molding and casting matériels, and the time to do that, just buying the other 3 was a no brainer. And the monogram tires aren’t in a good condition to mold. So basically, I could spend just over $100 on tires and be done, or just under $100 on mold making and casting materials and spent countless hours casting them (and they probably wouldn’t be perfect). But yea, I honestly did think about it. If Diagostini tires weren’t available, I would have tried casting them. I am on a forum, but haven’t looked at it in years. I also have pics on model motor cars web site. Sorry for the long reply. But thanks for watching and commenting! I really do appreciate it.

@@customfabrications I used to spend too many daily hours on quite a few different forums back in the day, but I spent about 95% of that time on Traditional Rods and Kustoms. I don't know that I've ever been on Model Motor Cars though. But yeah..... The CAM software is a steep learning curve that I haven't even begun, but one day hope to do so. I know that there are many many different types of CAM softwares out there and some that are very very easy to use. Then it comes down to will your machine work with that without having to gut all the hardware and replace it? 3D printing has gotten much better last few years. And there are all kinds of ways to do away with the layer lines (none of them are easy and can be very time consuming), but you're right...... Do you just flat out pay for what you know looks good and is what you want? Or do you invest in a bunch of tools and materials that carry a hefty upfront cost plus all the hours it could take learning how to get the most out of something like a 3D printer? I'd go with just buying the tires as well, but with the level of detail that you put into your builds you may not like having your custom parts manufactured by some machine. You may do all of this because it's YOUR hands doing the work. Anyhow.... I am absolutely loving the detail of your work. You are a true artist, my friend. Keep the videos coming. Makes me wanna start modeling again. It's been awhile since I melted any styrene or huffed the Plastruct plastic weld. Lol!!!

Thanks! Yea sometimes it’s a tough decision between buying and making. I just look at cost and time and make the best choice I can. Like I could have bought all the deagostini parts for the wheels, but that would have been around $200 or more. If mine work out, I’ll have spent less than $70. But way more time. Thanks again for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! Regards,@@BIGWIGGLE223

@@customfabrications For making molds, resin printers change the game... no more trying to sand the layers off a 3D print without losing the details. The prices are down significantly now. I have one, but can't use it in the house because they stink! My parrots are very sensitive to fumes, so until I get the real Jag in the garage finished I don't have space for modeling in the garage. Resin printers are game changers, and there's a lot of stuff already posted on various sources online to just find the part you want and bang it out. Just found a Daytona style fuel filler for my SVRA Jag model build.

I’ve been tempted to get a resin printer. Maybe someday. But my wife is also very fume sensitive. @@GenXPertChannel

Thanks 👍

Thanks! This was a while ago, I don’t really have a link. I think I got it from eBay. Just go on eBay and search IBT-4. Sometimes they are called stepper motor drivers, but they’re not.

Thanks!

Thanks! I really do appreciate that!

Sorry. It is quieter than normal, but you should be able to hear if you turn the volume way up. Not sure why.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. I actually bought the stainless tubing to make the actual fuel coil back when I started this project, but just never made that for some reason. My point of making this was to see if I could. I guess once I realized it could work, I got it out of my system and just never properly finished it. I keep saying ‘one of these days, I’ll finish it’, but who knows when that’ll be.

Thank you so much! And good morning!

I do watch him, and have seen his jaguar build. Just my opinion, but I think there are parts to that model that are very nicely detailed, but other parts I really dislike. It looks nice overall, but getting just a few parts a month in no logical order would drive me nuts. Plus,I’m too cheap to justify the cost of those models. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

I like his videos too. Those models are okay. Some of the detail is missing. I think they are way over priced.

I agree, way too much for what they are. But Wayne is fun to watch though. @@jiml9692

Thanks! Apparently TH-cam is weird like that sometimes.
