Bit more progress







Is that the same type of chassis (semi monocoque according to Chris B) as yours Jon ?

yes it is the same and i had it up to 135 kph last sunday. It was fun.

Going to a sprint race in two Sundays time to give it a bit of track time.

Hey Ian if it's possible could I get 3 bodies of you ? { all costs will returned }

The pics and messurements are coming I have been a bit slack sorry.

120bhp with 450kg just fun waiting to happen

We were prob. drunk when we set it up last and thought this will be a good idea

Hows the model going? finished yet

NO sadly , I've been having multiple failures doing the bodywork . I have tried heating and shaping styrene card and also thin aluminium but it just doesn't hold it's shape enough to look realistic . I have made a body block from balsa and am using that to shape the plastic and aluminium over , trying slightly heavier aluminium sheet now but if that doesn't work might try casting it in fiberglass resin .

tried copper sheet? need to be careful because it dents so easily, but might work

Having trouble getting a hold of other metals , no hobby shops here Looking for brass sheet as well to try but just haven't found it . Found an old copper boiler at a recycle yard that was pretty dented but they wanted antique prices for it so it stayed there ...

Progress is happen this again now , got some 0.5mm aluminum sheet from Bunnings that holds the shape well without denting too easily
