@rcWizzard okey nice ^^ what are you actually goin to do with it when it's done ? send to a factory so they can buy it from you for production ? or sell it on your own ?
@rcWizzard ah , do u remember whe itold u u forgot the XX on the front ??? well since i suppose u havent done it yet why not call it number XXV or somthin like that since u got a other driver
you should do front and rrear turning like the real deal and put straps on the shocks like the real thing so when you hit something it doesnt just pop on the shocks so hard
Hey man. I just had an idea. I think it would be better if you put duel servos. Those tires are really big. A 1/10 scale needs duel servos and i'm pretty sure dual servo is going to increase your steering performance big time. Just a tip!
GREAT! Are you going to buy water proof servos of "waterproof" the servos. If your going to make is water proof, visit "djmedic2008". He has a tut on how to make it water proof. I did the same for my R/C's servo. It works great! This is what his video is called. Copy and paste if your interested.
How to "Waterproof" an RC Servo - (WINTERIZE - Snow, Slush, Rain)
Although keep in mind if it will fit in the front axel. Good Luck!
lol... that motor is small.. like a quarter of a litre if that but still a v8!!! it's gonna be torquey as all fuck!!! you wont need low gears!! im puttin bets on that it could still lift the front wheels at the 12:1 ratio...
you know those nitro tc cars have gearboxes that are automatic, have you tought about making one like that to this beast? i know that you can put a ratio in the transfer case or whatever but just you know... wouldn't it be just awesome if it could pop a wheelie AND go fast?
Interesting. I like the 1/4 scale Tbucket but $14,000 is kinda much to spend on a 1/4 scale car. I will check out the engines they have though and see what my options are. I was thinking about making a wood mold of the body and then layer it in fiberglass (i can get the fiberglass sheets and fiberglass resin repair stuff) and make my own. Just cant make the engine from scratch.
Looks pretty good. Years ago I was asking this guy that builds and machines the parts for those engines and I asked him on a cost of a kit of the engine that is ready to be put together. He said $2500. I wonder what their going for now since I cant find that site anymore. Likewise I was wanting to do something like this but I wanted to build a flathead powered hotrod. Or if possible a Yblock powered hotrod.
Im not trying to be an asshole and pick on you,but you made the body messed up.The back is supposed to be long,not the front.Itis an old chevy van,not a dragster.The original truck was a mud bogging truck,a chevy delivery van with tractor tires,and evolved into a monster truck.
I want to wait to see how my current gearing works for the rear. If it works good then I'll do a new front end with drive and steering, which will be a major Challenge. I do not have a CNC machine. It's a Smithy 3-in-1. 20 years old, But still works Great!!
It would take Many hours to prepare the body to lay fiberglass on it. And the mold could not be used on my vacuum box. And the time it takes to lay several sheets of fiberglass, evenly spread the resin, the mess, the smell, the dust when sanding, cutting out the wind shield and door windows, fabricating a clear wind shield and mounting to the cut out opening. And, painting a clear body gives you a perfect shine. :-)
I don't have the windshields made yet I have a co. that will use my mold to blow one for me. I will take videos of it soon and post it. BTW its the futura Batmobile.
why dont you make it out of carbon fiber it would be faster and easier, I made a 6' batmobile this way. It came out why better than a vacum formed body.

Isn't it annoying how everyone asks that? You would think it would be obvious that you can't buy something like this (this cool) from f-ing walmart. But i guess i just tend to over estimate allot of people.
I just found this post. This is so much fun. Thanks for teaching me about sway bars in a previous episode. I've also learned a bit about vacuum forming. If the bodo is a problem, how about if you painted the mould with primer and high-temp paint and coated the whole thing with Pam cooking spray. Probably, you've already thought of that. Anyway, I'm a Chemist and if you need any chemistry help, I would love to help on this project.
if you say so...carbon fiber it is then...i dont see why he is making a big deal out of this...all this effort and money and he could of done it with some style providing he has the skills (judgeing by what he has made already he got them)
too expensive, anymore brain busters, theres a reason they use plastic, cheep light, reusable, and you can paint thru it so that youu dont scratch up the paint.
lol ever work with fiberglass or carbon fiber?? didnt think so, its not that expensive to work with...its easy to form ... paint thru the plastic...no different then spraying clear coat on the body....anymore brainstorms?
you sound like a broken record....heard ya... its not much cheaper then what this guy went thru making his own vacum box...clear coat goes over the paint to protect it....so scene boy get your facts straight
my bad...emo it is... seeing how all that is needed is either fiberglass cloth or carbon fiber cloth and resin...i cannot see cost much more then what this guy had to go thru...your simple minds must work alike
no, i have videos you watch them im most certainly not emo, and no everyone that does rc uses plastic, so why dont you try to convince all of them, you wont go far
what if instead of a suction mold for the body you just used fiberglass or (if you truley are that rich) carbon fibre and painted it on the outside? be stronger too
great project well done.
