[TheCjcoon]

Wow very nice what Gage of sheet metal and how Mutch dose it cost

[battlebots16]

@TheCjcoon you can get sheet metal from ace hardware last time i bought a sheet  it was $7 i lived in a neighborhood where they where building alot of new houses when they where done with the material it went in the trash they didnt save anything so i got alot of free galvanised angled flashing for free you can get it at home depot or if you live near a new housing development check the build site dumpsters

[KvvTsniper]

I can make a rc car blow fire from the back if I get 10 requests to do that I ll make a tutorial

[Hastings932Mr]

how much 4 an rc car?

[Segnet37451172]

what no tutorial on how to lacerate your finger? where's your kevlar gloves dude?

[livvidd]

Great vid! You have me thinking about trying to make a couple of semi truck bodys, Tamiya's Globe liner and King hauler. but I think I'm gonna use thinner gauge metal 'cause i don't need that much strength, mostly show. thanks for posting these videos

[j4ckyhawk]

thx for sharing ur skill and idea buddy, i like to make one someday....good video

[SpecThompsonTV]

where do you get the chassis w/ everything there like the springs and other things

[battlebots16]

@SpecThompsonTV i explain all that in the other videos but i get them off ebay i mainly use the tamiya hornet because it is light and has good ground clearence and does great offroad

[iamsobored113]

I've been thinking about making a rc body out of tin or aluminum for a while now, so the car will have somewhat realistic damage if it wrecks, I found this video searching to see if anyone has already done it before and it seems like it no one has done it with those softer metals, but if anyone has please send me a video cause whould like 2 check it out

[luigi2999]

what if you have something like a classic VW that has fat fenders?

[battlebots16]

@luigi2999 i would make what i could of the body .then make the fenders from fiberglass . i would put foam blocks on either side of the body lightly tack them on with hot glue then shave them down until they look right and fiberglass them . once they are dry desolve the styrofoam with Acetone and glue the fenders on .or you can try to beat the curves out of the sheet metal with a hammer and a sand bag but it takes forever and would be difcult to repair if damaged

[nicklokey916]

DELORIAN!!!!

[phw340]

Nice job! Thanks for making the video!

[MrTor95]

[battlebots16]

[79TAGio]

[battlebots16]

@79TAGio i got them from a 1/18 scale muscle machines camaro z28 i actually hand painted the hoosier logos onto them makes them look pretty badass

[79TAGio]

@battlebots16 dude their so sick how did u paint em' :)

[battlebots16]

@79TAGio thanks i actually used enamel model paint and a fine model brush you can also use a tooth pick i used one for the sharp details of the logo

[79TAGio]

@battlebots16 nice i wanna make some scale mickey thompson slicks :D those will be easy M/T haha

[Hobby331]

Man that's pretty nice! Why not use aluminum tho?

[battlebots16]

@Hobby331 i used what i had i had several boxes of free sheet metal and some rc car parts and i was bored one day so i made it out of sheet metal

[fordlukebo]

where do i buy sheet metal?

[battlebots16]

@fordlukebo ace hardware or home depot

[fordlukebo]

@battlebots16 thanks for the help! =)

[TheoSloat]

Thank you. I wanted to make custom car bodys and repair an old 73 tonka pickup for a long time. Also I have a Clod that needs some crusher cars too. The part about tracing from the screen is a great help. With a good camera you can use any model and copy it. Once again, thank you

[galletoxis]

are you the nissan car designer?

[326cafrank]

i love your idea and im actuly using it. but be more carful with your stuf. me and my dad were watching this vid for the first time and we both felt like it was a joke because your were throughing your stuf around like you didnt care. not trying to be mean just thought that it would help you get more vews. overall i loved it. im building one soon pleas keep puting up vids and ill watch.

[battlebots16]

@326cafrank i dont understand the comment i did not throw anything if you dont like the video fine there is nothing wrong with the video i would not have ads on my video if i did not get views

[gtr7387]

is it gasaline?

[jawj4291]

you do not need to have the wheel for the curvature you can manual pound it out with a ballpine hammer just as easly.

[battlebots16]

@jawj4291 that is just how i make it you can make one however you like a hammer would work well 

[jawj4291]

@battlebots16 Just thaught I would make a simple observational comment. After watching enough Amarician chopper I learned the basics enough to think of that lol.

[battlebots16]

@jawj4291 yeah i also watch alot of american chopper i could have made it all fancy with flaired fenders and better curves i was just showing how to make the basic shape the person making it can ad there own twist to it i am wanting to make other cars with more detail like the green hornet car , the ghostbusters car, the original 60s batmobile , the munsters coach , and the mad max v8 interceptor it may be a while before i start on these cars

[jawj4291]

@battlebots16 When I get the meterials I plan on making a 57 corvet body the rc chasy. That is going to be my first and may be my only custom body I ever make. I know I chose a heard one but it will be worth it when it is all fenished. I plan on vedioing the build when i start to post it on here.

[battlebots16]

@jawj4291 that will be a hard body to make but would be an awesome car to have i want to also make a 1958 plymouth fury red and white like christine

[b2kgamer1]

heavy

[pcvsxbox360]

how long does it take to actually make one of these? and how long would these bend if the car were to flip or can it handle that kind of crash?

and what kind of metal are you using? aluminium?

[pcvsxbox360]

how long does it take to actually make one of these? and how long would these bend if the car were to flip or can it handle that kind of crash?

[447Sasuke]

can u make a paper model how to car

[crazydave1011]

dude these are awsomew



[gabe2304]

If you were to stand on the body would it hold? Like are they stronger than a lexan body?

[battlebots16]

@gabe2304 no my cars would not hold me up they would crush then but as for are they stronger than lexan i would say yes instead of shattering when hitting a curb they bend like a real car would all you do then is get a rubber mallet and beat it back into shape where the fender is bent and keep going i added alot of inner structure to my cars making them very strong

[gabe2304]

Would these be good crush cars for (RC) monster trucks to run over? =D

[battlebots16]

@gabe2304 they could if you use realy thin metal and dont put any structure in the body then it would be a good crush car

an rc monster truck would not do anything to the cars i make

[gabe2304]

@battlebots16 What kind of metal? Like a thick foil? Sheet metal maybe? =)

[customshoguntoys1978]

dude, im doing a 1/24 scale dukes of hazzard police car transformer!!!!!!!!!! this is so cool, love youre stuff, im a plastic guy myself, ill send u photos when its done, im subbing too!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrTamiya89]

cool body shells and could you do cars like kitt and christine because i would like to see how you do them, with thanks Patrick

[garethough]

ill pay

[garethough]

will u make a general lee body for my sc18

[garethough]

does it weigh the car down alot

[battlebots16]

@garethough for a high power chassis like the tamiya hornet or other hoby grade cars it does not seem to make a difference at all the bodys dont usualy weigh more than a pound and a half at most 2 pounds if you realy realy reinforce the body alot

[Blade8Star]

where did u get the sheet metal

[67RcodeFairlane]

where did you get that sheet metal?

[DANATRINGWOOD]

at 10mins u says its unusable u could use it you can put tabs on the roof then bend them to where they need to be

[battlebots16]

@DANATRINGWOOD i can do that but it will be a weak spot it is such a small area the bond will break so often if would not be worth trying  i can probably reinforce the body but there is another problem i cannot seem to find an rc car the size of the metal body it is too weirdly sized so i just left it as a wall decoration

[DANATRINGWOOD]

@battlebots16 ah ok 

[JustMe111094]

shit, I have a LCD monitor

I am making some paper cars, maybe I-ll upload a video soon

[SuperDjguy]

send me every instruction you have for making this

i want one now reeeeeeeeally bad

[Warcopper]

Where did u get most of your metal sheets?

[battlebots16]

@jayavp125 the general lee is a tamiya hornet chassis i bought off of ebay it takes 12 AA batteries 4 in the car and 8 in the remote and the car runs off of a 7.2v battery pack the chassis was cut and extended the car is 2 feet long 8 and a half inches wide and 6 and a half inches tall at the tallest point

if you have any more questions feel free to ask

[MegaModelMan]

Nice job on the video man. Very professional and informative. If I can make a Sheet Metal station wagon, any body can do this stuff!!

I can't wait to see the Monaco done!! Ohhh them Duke boys... gaah goo gooo gah hoo... I love it I love it!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!

[greatscottbttfride01]

yay

[uberman145]

lol i laughed about the finger because yesterday i was taking apart a transmission, and my hand slipped and i got a laceration in my middle knuckle on my index finger... right hand too. i have one of those huge bandages... we're finger buddies..... that doesnt sound very appropriate. when you have the monaco finished are you gonna have some chases with the general lee?

[battlebots16]

@uberman145 oh yes it will chase the general i just have to find someone who can drive it

[d4nzo]

nice would love to make one just would need extra tools and what type of sheet metal u use like thickness ect?

Also what do you do about power? would you be able to explain this in the next vid (im sure your planning to anyway)

[battlebots16]

@d4nzo i will explain everything else in the next video i will buy all of the parts and show what i paid for them as i draw the parts out and cut them then the car being built and driven it may take a couple of videos just stay tuned i will cover everything 

[d4nzo]

@battlebots16 Cool thanks =]

[V8Mike93]

ive got all that but the 1 thing i dont have is patience the work you do is great keep it up

[ThePhiltastic]
