The maiden flight with my 1:32 scale Simple Hercules design. It's extremely lightweight so it didn't like the strong gusty conditions but it flew very nicely other than that. It's capable of slow flight and sounds really realistic because of the slow high pitch props. The maiden was performed with a 3S 3000 mAh battery for extra weight since it was windy. It will fly fine with a 2S or 3S 1000 mAh battery as it needs very little power.

I wanted this back in the day when I was a kid. It's an original Kyosho Ferrari F40 (Kit No. 4257) that I bought partially built from someone on Ebay. I finished it and painted the body with Tamiya PS-2 paint. It runs great and looks fantastic. This is closer to 1:8,5 scale than the specified 1:10 scale, and it has much more presense than the usual 1:10 touring car size. It is about the same scale as my Porsche 959 rally car. The stock tires are cracked and only good for display, so I left them on the stock wheels and 3D printed accurate replica wheels to use with running tires. The modern tires were made for 2,2" and since this car uses the old 2,0" standard I had to modify the modern tires to fit by cutting off a segment and gluing it back together. It works fine and I posted some pictures of the process in my community tab here on Youtube.

Slotcars are boring so I wanted to make something fun that works in the same space as a slot car track, but with RC cars. I modifed two WLToys K989 for a tiny turning circle and slower speed. I used motors with a speed of 9000 rpm @12V to make the cars much slower and easier to drive for inexperienced drivers and will make the buildable track from training mats this winter. I might go with slightly faster motors if it ends up being too slow to be fun. There are many varations of 130 motors to choose from. The stock motor is ridiculously fast. I might make nicer looking wheels that suit the models better, though they aren't super scale. They are very durable though. The white car is a Ford GT40 MKI and the red car is a Ferrari 250 LM. The bodyshells are from Team Bluegroove.
