Micro Funny Car (Dragster) Update

A little update on the micro funny car project!  I originally mentioned it being 1/24 scale, well that is not the case anymore.  The scale I will be working with will be 1/32.  Yes smaller and more of a challenge as far as packing all the electronics under the small body.  Hopefully I can manage that without any issues.  Next little update: The wheel's.  I have gotten the front and rear wheel's that will be used on this project in. They are rubber o-ring aluminum front's and tacky foam rear's.  I still have to polish up the front's, that can wait as they will be used for mock up purposes.

                               

 I would like to give a huge thank you to Artie (SRGN of RCTech.net) for the help and much needed support of this project.  I could say that I would not have gotten this far with this project, without him.  The "donations" as you could say from Artie has really helped get the ball rolling on this project.  Once again Artie, thank's a lot for the help and support of the Micro Funny Car (Dragster) project.  I will be sure to give as much credit as I can when it come's to this project coming together.  Hopefully you will be impressed with how this project take's shape and is done.

Will update at a later time with more picture's and image's on this project.  Check back at a later time and hopefully by then, I will have more progress for you!

1/24 RC Funny Car?

I've been having another project idea running through my head lately.  Usually when idea's run through my head I have to find or create something to put it down on paper.  Most the time I do not jump right onto the idea or the plan's.  But figured I would share what I have had on my mind lately.  Maybe someday or someday soon (maybe as I wait on part's from the secrete project?) I will start on this.  Who know's, guess time will tell and if you read my blog then the blog will show, haha.  So only the flat layout of the design.  Also, with this idea plan I would be running a Mamba micro brushless motor, slot car gearing as their gears use grub screws and would make mounting and swapping out a piece of cake.  Wheel's are a toss up, thinking maybe slot car wheels. Need to see how much I can fit under a small shell and also would be attached to the 3mm axle with a grub screw.  For the front would have a straight bar with the ends drilled which would house a 1/24 Losi micro steering knuckle and a spring above it while running a long screw through it all to allow for some suspension in the front.

Finally, if you decide to create something like this.  Please come up with your own design.  It would be cool to have a funny car class in a micro scale, would love to see what other's come up with.  But do the work and research on your own as I do and always do.  I am always willing to help, just ask and I will help as much as I can.

My Donated Vendetta Rally

Here is my Vendetta Rally that was donated to me from Dave off of the rctech forum's. With Dave's friendly donation, not only gave me one more Vendetta to the list, but also gave me the final model which I was missing out on. So once again, thanks for this sweet looking rally car. I can honestly say by the looks and comparing to the other model's that the rally is my favorite. Expect to see a build up post coming soon for this. But for now, a couple of picture's.






And the group.
