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.

final body design

this is the stuff i use http://www.tooled-up.com/product/weller-el60-40-100-electronic-solder-resin-core/12416/

i used to use the draper stuff and i didn't like it as it never made clean joints but i switch to some weller stuff and its been spot on and i always get good solder joint now and the price aint to bad either.

wanted to try a different design to see if it would work

not a bad idea

designed a new body for bumble bee V3, pictures to follow

Did you say it wasn't as smooth as the other ones if so it sounds to me like the rotor isn't centered properly. I had this with my motor, turns out the the end bell cap on the shaft side had not been tightend down correctly and was causing the rotor to touch the windings slightly, if I were you I would take the end bell cap off and tighten the screws down evenly and see if it makes a difference. I usually go to opposite corners tightening the screws down a little bit at a time.

re fitted the xl2 into my mi4, just need to test out the new settings i put in the esc

it wasn't ran through optical speed traps, that run was just for the turnigy 5000 using there gps not optical speed traps

finished off the rest of the design for bumble bee V3, just need to be sent off to my cnc guy to be made

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

yeah the senna challenge is quite challenging but after 40 attempts i got a time of 1:06.63 with a controller

yeah its an awesome shell keeps the car glued to the ground and once it gets going it goes arrow straight, but i think they stopped making them know.

HPI stiletto v12

finished the speed car

made a vacuum former

http://www.towerhobbies.co.uk/products/futaba/futk4905.html late august they get stock

car is finished before the event which is a weird one for me as its usually a rush to finish the car

i've seen someone run this in a rustler on 6s, all i can say is the car was no more after the esc caught fire
