how did u made the cardan, and from which material? awesome job ;)

[Inteligento]

You should try using fibreglass for constructing your frames it can be premoulded cut and shaped into individual brackets tubes and sheets that can be very versatile in construction. You can also use cotton cloth instead of fibreglass with epoxy glue for resin. Plasticine makes a good medium for moulds as it can be used to reproduce common shapes covered with cellophane it won't stick to fine parts, but retains detail.

[intelpowered]

how did you do the FF drivetrain?

is it custom or premade?

[Encriptixx]

Whats the name of the Background music... it's very nice

[MrMattinater]

I like whip cream

[antonis0035tc]

if you crash this is bey bey baby a car that is made of wood is very sensitive

[wallflipr]

speedy lil bugger now aint it!

[FisherPykel]

mate i understand why u use wood u can craft it to what u want and its a hell of a lot faster to do so yourself and cheaper and its just as good XD

[cory3101]

Nice car man, for homebuilt its amazing! Nothing compared to something from a hobby shop, but seeing how you made most of it yourself I think that would make up for it.

Beautiful model man, great work, I love it!!!!

[expertmodelcz]

very nice

[Crescviper]

It's beautiful...can you give me a pattern of this car??? thanks

[rmp5s]

Very very cool, man.

[Del360T]

Hope I enjoyed? Damn right I enjoyed! I just followed the link from the Mustang clip and I´m hugely impressed with the way the front-wheel drive was working on that slippery surface. It´s perhaps a shame that we don´t get to see your ingenious suspension systems working on a less perfect "road" surface. By "McPherson inspired" I take it that you mean that the steering pivots about a point vertically in line with the shock´s shaft? I can´t really make it out on the clip.

[AwesomeArsalan]

where ca i buy an rc like that? u wanna sell urs?

[versaboy8]

Another fine Masterpeice, Leonardo would be proud. Great job man that is art that I would collect!!

[seltsum]

wow i am really impressed, i didnt think that was even possible. already loved your mustang but that is even more impressive and it looks quite fast and it seems to handle good as well. really nice

[floppydisk35]

hey, um... would you actually mind giving me a list of all the parts you've used for the car? i'm actually interested in doing something like yours, to tell the truth...

oh btw, if a more powerful motor and stickier tyres are used, would that lose the car's balance per se?

thanks in advance :)

[floppydisk35]

hi, i've got another question;

would it still work if i get myself an AWD chassis 'n all, but then i would omit the shaft for the rear wheels and the differential? also i would change the suspension for the rear wheels..

i don't think it work out as good as a proper fwd setup, though..

[idreamz]

Except for the parts named in the video (Micro-T and Mini Z parts): 2mm wooden sticks, metal tubes in 1,5mm -4mm, brass ball 3mm in diameter, 2-component epoxy glue.

Stickier tires will improve grip but generally make handling tricky.

AWD chassis with removed rear drive has been tried by other people with disappointing results, try seearching for forums and you'll see.

Be prepared to put a lot of time into building, Good luck!

[floppydisk35]

actually i've bought a tamiya ff01 from eBay since then :p

Thanks anyway ;)

[unit4401]

now drop in a brushless motor and LIPO battery for the MicroT...and reinforce some of the wooden members...

[sledneckf5]

i love your rc car, that is amazing!

[itsracktime]

great talents you have.

website?

[XxdedlydecdncexX]

again VERY VERY nice!

you have a great talent. if you want ...i also have some xmods parts that could come in handy! send me a message for details :D

[mistajef]

That was very cool, nowadays you buy RC cars RTR, but you built yours, thats awesome. I need to do that with my HPI Savage, but I think it would just bust and burst into flames. Good vid

[AirsoftReviewChannel]

Balsa Wood?

[paperjets]

can you teach me how to do one of this cars?

[idreamz]

There are no secrets nor shortcuts. Only will and patience to persist through a lot of failed builds.

[suprakilzz26]

this is awesome please go to my page and look at my rc vid i need some help on how i should make my rc awd i think you may be able to help me

[Silverballerss]

what you want money a whis car

[fatcat332]

i dont know if you do this and if you dont it may be something you might want to do even tho the wod is strong tou cn make it even stronger by soaking the chassi in krazy glue.

[smashpanda]

wow man , that was god damn awesome ,

how did you make it almost from scratch is amazing but the way it controls was beautiful

[adro105]

fast!!!!!!  nice job

[elgh33]

nice!

[Crescviper]

very good job

[jedsvideo]

may i know what's the title of this music? :D

[05overbore]

looks shit hot mate good invention. im gunna try and make one from scratch with all my old parts

[TheGroundBeef]

thats so cool! how do you do that with the wood it looks challenging

[jorikrademakers]

does it understeer?

[73k5blazer]

nice cars, im currently on the works with a 69 vw bug (same scale). i made the chassis out of wood but i'm working on the aluminum version. keep up the good work!!!

[eggface246]

nice video but did you just sat down and started to do this or is there a website that shows you how and if there is than please send me it thanks

[dsavill123]

hey its pretty fast

[fuckyou631993]

wood? come on dude why do you build these toys and not a 1/10 or 1/8 scale thats acually fast and fun to drive

[projectthechaser]

my xmod will beat your 1/10 1/8 scale car

[fuckyou631993]

i doubt that! ive never seen a 70 mph xmod. my traxxas stampede vxl does about75 and my brushless emaxx goes 0-60 in 1.5 seconds theres no way a tiny car like that could even come close ive put almost 1000 dollars into the emaxx.

[f0615388]

umm how would you know if it is fun to drive u have nver even used his car.and besides its obvious it a drift car not speed car and it is pretty fast cause the speed he drives it isnt the regular atomic BB motor speed hes goin slow to drift so stop hating on ppl.

[fuckyou631993]

fwd drift car? thats funny lol

[Keevawn]

another amazing build, great job and nice drifting

[killjoy1995]

just to let you know if thats an xmod then its a 1/24 scale

[jordankwanstrum]

no xmods are 1/28 scale get your facts straight

[remotecontroldude]

thats awesome! i assume its nitro?

[H100A]

are you on crack!? he shows an electric motor in the vid

"remotecontroldude"?

[fuckyou631993]

is that a joke?

[cdcgb1]

all u need now is a handbrake lol! XD nice build tho... grats

[TakadaGenbe]

very cool, congrats on the sucessful build!

[boahnoah]

why didnt you just buy the vw golf gti mini z from kyosho ?

[irishkendoll]

why would you say that? you this car isnt about just having one. it about an accompl;isment of building something yourself ie like building model cars growing up he has done a good job leave it at that.

[m9505]

thats really awsome! did you make it from matchsticks? reply plz

[GT3LM]

That thing's very quick for its size! Great work dude.

[dethustla36]

nice you should make a tutorial on how to build some r/c's

[ferrarri734i]

i used wooden chopsticks and popsicle sticks what did you use

[jiboiapower]

dude.....thats a great idea....... i m sure that it is best than mr 01/02 even AWD for first time starters!!!! great dude !!

[layzer80]

I'll pay you good money to make a life sized one out of 2x4's

[MoNziL]

very cool.. front wheel drive ;)

[joreba]

man... do u have msn?

[bestsellerseries]

wow that is good

[charliebajs]

WTF??

[jonoredworth]

OMG THIS IS COOL. U HAVE REAL SKILL DUDE

[BleedingGumsMurphey]

I think it's so cool that you use wood!!! It's just so unique. Quick little bugger, too!

And man, if you want some 4WD offroad fun..Look into an E-maxx from Traxxas =)

[eben81]

you should make a video of you driving your wooden chassis full speed into a concrete wall and watch it explode into little splinters. fuck jamie cullum

[niskyfan12]

hi. i posted a comment a while back on ur mustang and i was curious if i can get the plans on this car. tnx!

[idreamz]

Hello there, the paper plan I have doesn't cover everything, only features the wooden frame. I'll see if I still have it left but please send me a PM should I forget.

[fuckyou631993]

wats with the wood frames

[sikorski]

Surprised you used wood for the chassis. But it seems to work ok if it's just as a mobile model. Maybe you could get a job working for the Morgan Motor Company. ;-)

[idreamz]

Lol, you just guessed my secret plan mate ;-)

No wood is easy to work with and much, much stronger than people think (it's all in the space-frame structure).

[animalbmx93]

good job, just dont crash it

[idreamz]

Thanks, but I've already managed to crash it hard too many times, but no worries, it's unhurt and still running strong :)

[Soundlmpact]

nice good work

[diseaseddragonfly]

sweet. nex project u should use aluminum or plastic trusses. it would give u more room than wood. also, the micro t part idea is good. give u nice travel and the ability to get replacement parts. is the body miniz?

[idreamz]

True, I bought the mini-z body on a webshop, as the local store didn't carry it.

[snowlite84]

wow, thats sweet, u should try and make a car realistic, like a front engine 4wd skyline or something, awesome vid

[PILLOW432]

hey what scale are mini zs suppose to be are they suppose to be a 1/27 scaled rc car? or is it lower

[idreamz]

Yes exactly, they are 1/27th scale. However with some luck you can fit a 1/25th scale plastic model kit onto it with some modifications.

[snakesonaplayne6]

i made a front wheel drive xmod a while ago, yours is much better. great work!

[PILLOW432]

just out of curiousity does mini Z's or other cars that look like these sell in EVERY hobby shop?

[idreamz]

If I understood your question correctly the answer is no. The hobby shop has to be officially Kyosho-approved, which means it has to reach a certain standard (this according to their catalogue). I got mine from a japanese webshop though (Hobby Search).

[jan3019]

where to buy those stick? and what are the things i need to make a stick frame chassis.. cos i need to make a front wheel drive chassis.. im gonna use some xmods parts.. please reply asap.. thank you!

[idreamz]

Buy sticks at a hobby shop. I use 3x3mm pinewood. Then you have to have a hobby saw, and a file. Align it on a 1:1 scale drawing. Then glue it together with epoxy glue, I prefer the 15min one.

Good luck with your project and make sure you post some pics/updates! :)

[jan3019]

sure! im really inspired to that gti!! specialy to your whole team! hey i have another question.. hey whered you get the motor with complete set of gears " i mean the main engine of this project " the complete set of the engine or motor? =) this is the last question man and after this i'll just read your forum then..

[idreamz]

Um, just for clarity: it's not my forum. It's run by a guy called ripper7777777 and a bunch of other guys on the west side of atlantic.

As for the drivetrain with the motor and gearbox, it's taken from the MicroT, you can google it. Parts are quite affordable compared to MiniZ IMO.

[idreamz]

Thanks for your positive feedback! I have a build-up thread at ripper7racing, google "Rabitzu".

Hey Jan, do you have a link to your project?

[jan3019]

i dont have yet, im still waiting for the product to come i mean the model kit that i order lastweek.. and this would be my first RC project ever.. =D thanks for the link!

[jan3019]

did you make the chassis?? wow really cool!! damn i havent started with my mini z gti project im still on matchbox gti.. but i already have my own gti mini z maybe nextmonth.. hihi

[jan3019]

wow! thats cool! i wish i know how to do it!

[KurtGnu]

Great car!! I tend to build mainly 1/72 Military vehicles, when I don't do 'things with wings'.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I'm serious, you should start your own company! Enlist some slave labour to churn out your fantastical designs (well, it might be nice to pay them, I suppose). You could make a mint.

[KurtGnu]

Especially if he makes them work 'after eight'.. :P

[SmiertSpionem]

Oh! I see what you dids there! I suppose he could make even more if it was a VW 'Polo'(instead of golf) :p

[SSG47]

nice

[4x4Daddy]

Very nice project you did there. Well done....
