Sliders S13 Updates + .RSG. Prints


Slowly bringing the S13 back to life. But the more I look, the more there is to do.


Around Xmas 2016 I started the build of this Silvia. Hard to believe it's 2 years already. But then again, it's been around Australia, been to Japan a couple of times and survived GCRCD and Broz battles to the death.


Many hundreds of hours of battles later... I've collected so many stickers for this machine that I had to downsize many to real 1:10 scale.

I decided to finally add the roof spoiler and update the interior.


It's still in reasonable condition, but it needs a good detail clean and some scale work to bring it back to life.

What you see here is very much a Work In Progress.


First Step is removal of the Pandora Lexan Seats. Printed download of recaro style seat.

The battery placement of the Nervis Motor Mount on my Overdose drift package means that a bit of Hacking is being done to the prototype parts.

While the custom seat mount is effective, it's not good enough yet.  So it's back to 3d modelling bench for some more work.


Ive been exploring the prototypes and seeing the limitations of 3d printed designs in various quality settings.



This really is a PITA time consuming process.


But you can create some cool stuff in just an hour. That's quicker than a trip to the shops. haha.

Next stage brakes, calipers and mounts for WUN V3 knuckles
