Nichimo Spirit FF parts

thingiverse

The Nichimo Spirit FF I got had multiple parts broken (chassis parts, roll cage, bumper, radio box). I started to model the part I needed, and continued with other parts... At the end I decided to get all of them printed in Nylon PA12 (I used online services for most parts to print either using MJF or SLS process). The reproduction is not perfect, but close from the original. Pease note that I did not provide any CAD model for the metal parts (the objective was not to make a Nichimo Spirit FF from scratch but to allow revive some). You may find more information about this work on Tamiyaclub, Tamiyabase, rc10talk or Vintage-RC. I modified the stl to take into consideration the issues I found during the build, but have not reprinted the parts to double check. In case you figure out an issue with those files, please let me know so I can correct them. Thanks. I indicated the parts which needs a mirror, and the one which needs to be printed in multiple in the file names. The rims are made in one piece, instead of three, and there is 2 version - OEM like, with approaching tires (but need to be printed in TPU), and reworked one to work with hex hubs and Tamiya Hotshot front and rear tires. This is the video of the first trial run. https://youtu.be/yht1v2TDRK0 You may use those parts to repair a Nichimo Spirit FF or Vantage FF, Those cars were intended to run, and that's why I did this. But don't forget I did this work and it took a lot of time. There is a link to my paypal in my profile if you want to offer me a coffee or a contribution for a next project such as this one :-) Thanks. EDIT : June 10th 2022 - Uploaded new version of the front arms and pillow ball enclosure and retainers. Axis position for the arms were wrong, and pillow ball enclosure were reviewed for better correspondance with original model.
