Popular Post Si Coe Posted June 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well I'm impressed and more importantly as a teacher myself I reckon this could be every bit as important as those GCSE's. You've gone well past slapping a load of powerful electrics into a TC chassis and hoping for the best - the next stage involves some quite complicated engineering. How is that not an employable skill? What I've really enjoyed is watching Arogon come up with ideas, test them, improve the design and then come back for more. Yes listening to advice from others on here could have skipped out a few steps and saved a few quid but we've now reached the stage his work looks like serious projects. Keep it you and you'll be the Richard Noble of RC in no time! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Good luck to you fella, better than spending money on video games, drink and smoking. It makes you very employable, having the skills to do something like this. yes its alot of money, but what else could give you a bigger smile on your face It nice to have something to do when doing test. All work just gets you stressed a little fun in there relaxes you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksprogis Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Watching What has age got to do with spending a lot of money? At least he's spending it on something he enjoys and will probably learn a lot from building it. AT least he's not spending his money on Booze, fags and drugs like me ( I'm joking ..just booze and fags!) Gotta be one of the best statements i've read on this forum. Good luck buddy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghazghul Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The torque values seem low, although it makes my head hurt trying to scale them for the car? I'm guessing due the the final drive ratio. Is it not better to gear for a more realistic top speed and have the torque to accelerate before you run out of road and to combat air resistance?

arogon1235 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 just thought i would let you guys now that i might be changing the car to a 2wd design with a solid rear axle as i think i am going to have some problems with running a stretched mi4, this is why designing a car can take so long back to sketch up it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 here is what the car is basically going to look like from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Have you considered a drag car chassis to work from ? http://www.rjspeed.com I've been looking at a couple to build just because they look goooooooood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 yes i have thought of that idea but i prefer to make my own one as i can make it to the spec i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arogon1235 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 car is almost out of the design phase and should be going into the part making stage at the end of august, a few things have changed on the car like the steering set up and the axle setup but changing these things have saved me a lot of money and time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Looks like something from Nintendo's F-Zero series! Which is, obviously, a very good thing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowen93 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How long is it? What material are you gonna use and how to make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 length wise probably around 700-800mm and for the material i will more than likely go with 0.75mm lexan and if i have time and the money i might make one from carbon fibre.
