I belive that it doesnt matter since therte is a lot of rx7 bodies on the market, HPI just came out with one, without the wingmounts on it.

Hmm, R Spec, that's nice
But I cannot buy all the RC bodies on the market, I'll have no money left for my Mariah then...

 

I just talked to the painter who is doing my Rx7 body..
It will have a blue base with some nice yellow stuff on it.. I hope I can get it until you get here!

I cant bring my nitrocar anyway, I totally forgot that i need a part for it, which have been in backorder sinceoctober
I will bring my 1:10th tourincar instead

 

I will get my body on wensday.... pics will come..

//magnus

 

I won't be able to bring my car... I haven't got the axle yet, and I need to keep weight down...

 

Ok, here it is!
I think it looks good.. *s* wounder what it would cost on the real car......

//Magnus

 

Sweet

 

That's nice! REEEAAALLLLYYY nice!



You might not want to know what it'd cost on the real car though
My RC body is still just unpainted. Too many projects, you know...
But what happened to Andreas anyway, we haven't seen him on the forum anymore?

 

Very nice !

 

Let's pick up this again..
You know I talked about a bigger Rc rotary..
Now I found a link!

Not that I need one, but what the hell..

// magnus

 

wow it even has the rpm range of my car lol 10K

 

what about this one...
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ory=23642&rd=1

No, I'm NOT going to buy it... I kinda wish I'd never seen it, cause now I'm really having a hard time not bidding... But it'd be no more then a sho piece, you could never use something like that exlusive! Well, you could, but it'd loose a lot of it's value then...

 

That's a rare one.. never saw that before.. but the price just tells you .. nono..

// magnus

 

well, 100pieces only, so it is a rare one indeed. It's basicly the "normal" Graupner "system NSU-Wankel", put coated gold, and boxed in wood instead of cardboard.
It's a beauty, but I'll have to pass, I guess...

 

Hmm, I've been having these visions lately...
Wankel powered RC car, again... So, I decided to look at that 787B rotary thingie, seems the pics are no longer there (only white squares with red crosses). Anybody who has them?
I'm not sure if I'll actually build one, it's just I'd like to look into it again. I'm happy enough with a single rotor version, btw.
However, how would we keep it cool? Water/oil cooling seems a lot of work, if it's at all possible. Air cooling might be not enough.
Also what do we do with the gearbox...
Any ideas? Let's get this topic rolling again! I have the 787B body still there (mint, unused, not painted yet )
so I better think of something!

 

check this:

"the large graupner"!!! 37,41cc!!! WOOOWWW
But, I'm not going to buy it... 1500euro is slightly to much for my rc budget...

 

Ressurection of the dead thread

I just finished assembly of my new touring chassis.


Spec:
Schumacher Mission2 1:10 scale competetion chassis
Carbonfibre - Aluminium - Titanium chassis
Reedy MVP stock motor
LRP Phaser reciver
LRP Quantum SuperSport E.S.C.
LRP HiVolt 3300Mamp NiMh batteries
KO Propo 713 FET digital steering servo
Schumacher Carpet Dragon tyres
More to come

 

And offcourse with a Skyline R33 shell, just for looks




Raceshell is a Saleen SR7GTR

 

 

No RX7??

 

Very cool Kim!
But why not an FD shell? There are several types available, so there's no excuse!!!

 

Yeah im sorry guys but the HPI Rx7 shell has little to no rear downforce, so they are only good on the straights.
I have ordered a 200mm FD body for my rearwheel drive R/C beater car
I will post a pic when its done

 

Done

Though I decided to buy a RX-8 instead.



BTW foto is shot with my new HP Photosmart 850 4,1MP camera

 

Looks pretty good kim!! I want one of those!
