Hey Kim.. nice car.. *s*
But I must say that the FD looks even better...

//magnus

 

I have put out some adds in the modelfilght sites here in sweden for the OS 5cc engines.. just to see if there are any for sale..
Can't really drop this thought..


//magnus

 

Just got one of those Tomy Bit-Char thingies. They are so small... Can't believe they're RC. Didn't test drive yet.
I just had to buy, that's all

 

Well.. I talken to the guy who will paint my FB body.. I'll leav it to him later in the week..
No luck on finding any OS wankels yet..

mmmmmmmmmm

 

waawww.... Well, that should get Magnus going again ;-) At least I allready have a 787B shell. But I wonder how to put all that stuff under there... Man, watercooling!? That sound like a lot of work (not to mention money...)

 

OMG how could you do this Mike, now i want one but i cant afford to build one, damn you

 

mmm. yummi....

I think that most of it is scrach built.. looks nice how ever..

mmm.. twin rotor........

One questionmark on the drivetrain.. looks like it has quite low gearing for a car like that.. the OS engine is not very high rewin...


Mike.. we don't really like you for showing us this..


//magnus

 

hey I had to suffer afte seeing this ... and so should you

 

ah well, I think I'll build one like that. to tease you guys with. Well, that'll be once I win the lottery, of course :-)
Boy, that car is cool. Just wonder where to fit the second rotor...

 

You have a 787B shell? Is it for sale? i've been looking for one forever, I even some friends that are going to Austraila for vacation and there gonna check some shops and whatnot. Even if it's not for sale, maybe you could get a mold made of it and make some copies? I would really be interested in this. pm me with any decision you make.

 

Oh yeah, is it in 1/10 or 1/8 scale?

 

It's an "ordinary" Tamiya 787B shell, in 1/10th. They are very rare overhere. I won't sell, but I might consider making a mold. However, it must be clear that selling copies would violate copyright laws. I'll ask my Danish friends (hint, hint) to make a mold, and let you now. Just check back here once in a while.

 

Hmmmm a 787b shell sure sounds nice, and i assume yhat you mean danish rx7 friends, in that case i dont we or i would be able to make a mold because i effort to mold a rc body you would have to deal with vaccum-forming which neither of us have the machines to do.
BUT what you could do was to take the shell apply a release agent then fill the body with liquid silicone or latex and VIOLA there you have a exact copy of the original mold, all there is left now is to have a copy milled in aluminum, drill very small holes allover it to allow vaccum and then offcause a thermovaccumforming machine.

Maybe this would be a project for hIGGI, I bet you could sell a lot of those bodys since tamiya doesnt make them anymore

 

Yep Kim, that was what I thought too. Actually this idea was not started by a danish RX7 friend, but by a swedish (Magnus) because of the SA widebody RC I saw. That problem was solved by Andreas, who sold us the RC bodies. But I guess the same thing could be done with a 787B. Nevertheless, I feel a bit uncomfy with the idea of experiments with a body that has cost me way over $100 (way too much, but hell I couldn't find any so I bought what could...)

 

sweet!! that would be awesome if could be made to happen.

 

Well, we'll see. Can't promise. Personally I simply do not have the equipment needed for such a job. Allthough it would be cool.

 

there is 1 for sale now:

REgards,
Andreas

 

Yep, seen that one too... Might have a go and bid on it. But I shouldn't do that as I have so many other things to pay for ;-)

 

Did you place a bid on it?? *s*

// magnus

 

I tried to msg the seller on the kit because it didn't sell, but got no response.

 

no, I didn't... In the end I decided I need all the money I can get to get my car running well again.
Point is: the 787B from Tamiya is exactly the same as other GrC cars from then, yet the 787B seems mor rare, and therefor way more expensive to get. So if I get a Jaguar or something I can get it way cheaper, and use the 787B body parts I have. I payed over $100 for those, so...

I might bid on this one... All depends on price...

 

Fusion .21-3 speed
Im doing some mechanic work for a friend of mine, he is the local hobby shop owner and fellow R/C racer.
This friday he gave me this car, to be prepped for the displaystand, in favor i get parts for my racecar, anyways this monster goes 85mph/136kmt with a three speed gearbox, 3.5ccm engine and other goodies.
I cant wait to go beat up the asphalt with this thing

 

I think I'll bring my RC FD to Denmark/Sweden.... If someone is good enough with those things to get it running properly...
