Some progress

Small steps that take a lot of effort. I have managed to fabricate all 4 tires and all 4 rims. The tires need painting and so does the last 2 rims. But the good thing is that now I have all the equipment and some practice for finishing them.

The second update covers the brakes. Firstly - all 4 are done :) Secondly they have a new finish so they would stand out a bit more than the black version. After all, I put a lot of effort into them. But the mat gold finish is not too flashy and replicates the Brembo calipers that I had for reference pretty good. Just the red sticker missing right now.

The two little air intakes next to the headlights are also being made ;)

The Brembo-X brake discs

The "first edition" carbon ceramic brakes were good, but there's a new version - The Brembo-X!
It has a finer, "second generation compound" and a new aluminum bell. Now it stops as good as it goes :D

Carbon Ceramic brake disc

Here is my attempt to replicate carbon ceramic surface for the brake disc.

Here is an interesting video of how carbon ceramic brakes are made:

Finished brake caliper

Came out pretty good I think.

Nearly finished

Brembo carbon ceramic brakes

Aero-X has Brembo brakes with 380mm carbon brake discs all round. This model will 

not be any different.
