thank you for sharing!

1. this is an epoch, not dnano, belongs in the epoch subforum
2. please don't post 3 seperate threads for the same topic. simply reply to your initial post

As to the three seprate post... I tried to post all the pics at one time it would not let me. I would upload the first pic then when I tried to upload the secound pic it would send me to a screen that said this page not avalible. So how else could I do it? Please let me know the instructions... I would have rather done one and gone to bed at say 12 instead of 3:30 thanks ahead of time, Mike

I followed your instructions that are given and it would not work. So how else could I do it? Please let me know the instructions... I would have rather have done one download and gone to bed at say 12 instead of 3:30 in the morning after trying like ten times to do it as instructed... thanks ahead of time, Mike

One other thing arch2b you guys were talking about the Epoch in the dNaNo thread when it came to the realtracks and grip that is why I posted these pics there. The other reason is to show that these cars can be converted wether it's the dNaNo or the Epoch. You and I both know no-one is going to see these here... the Epoch converted to 1/32 races real well on that track so please excepte my apology... yet I can't see how it really matters, however I will make sure I never do it again! thanks again Mike

if your having trouble putting images in a single reply, simply post one, and put the rest in sequential replies. if that is not working, do what you have to and simply include in your post that you wish them to be combined as i had done for you :)

Welcome to the forums.What type of input does the laser cutter take. I may have to look into adapting some other slot cars into rc. Great work.

good question. i can model to several file outputs, which are compatible for you?

Thank you for the question. We can take DXF files or Igis or any files converted to G-Code. Also any kind of drawing file like Bobcad or Autocad. Let me know. Thanks again mross 1

Thanks arch2b! mross 1

have you done any chassis upgrades to the epoch that make it a direct fit for slot car bodies?

also, the cheap muscle time rc bodies are a good line of vintage muscle cars to scavange from.

HI there, I'd like to chime in. Even though both are 1/43 scale, aren't the Epoch's still bigger, "thicker" than the Dnano and more likely to fit these 1/32 scale bodies?
