    This is the coolest RC truck I ever saw

    I love the color, What paint type it is? I don't think it's a Tamia spray can... For the wheels, the 1:18 die cast often has wheels too big for a realistic look, in 1:16 they look better. I love to mix different scale in my projects. nice charger

    you are my idol... I hope someday I will have your talent and your equipment

    A little work on the rear end, the copper links are just for fit test, the real one will be made from stainless rod. The lower coilover mounts will also be the bracket for the wishbone. The coilover are from micro Nitro, the rod ends are from RB motion the uppers coilover mounts are from futurattraction and the lower is from dirt modellers.

    Did you use The Jag fender parts to build the rear end of the body? (not the fender of your car) If so, it look verry good. Jimmy Flinstone is a very good body designer.... it's bad that he don't do 1:16 and 1:8

    That car is just at it's starting point and he already have a soul I love that style

    thanks Dave...

    Some progress, The wheel base length is not determined yet so that's the reason why the front section is so long...
  9. midengineaddict
    man your updates are so good I can wait to see the next's

    Your work is incredible... I hope you will post a video of that truck moving outdoor when finished.

    Some small progresses...

    Finally, the truck will be 1:16 scale, I have a picture of the aluminum wheels... from michael.cherry2@ntlworld.com that guy is an artist, you got to pay but it's worth the money... (just to show how those wheels are big, the front steer axle in the picture is 1:24 scale axle)

    I ordered that beast on ebay yesterday just for the engine, the engine look big enough to make a 1:16 truck I will slam the truck down like clavender17... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70218 But with the kit fenders on the front and no fender in the rear...

    good idea to post it here, its an RC but this is a masterpiece of modeling
  17. midengineaddict
    WOW your dragster look killer... if you finish it, let me know, I want to see that. Your engine look very good...
  18. midengineaddict
    the engine is not the same that the one I will do but it's just to show how a jet engine can look good with chrome and alclad paint...

    I asked Jan Hajicek www.cmkkits.com the size of the BMW 003E and here the answer: Diameter is 23 mm, length w/o front intake (different for each aircraft type) is 79 mm. 0,905'' 3,11'' the Diameter is pretty close to the 1.125'' you told me... 23mm compare to 28.5. So I think about buy 3 of them and scratch build a larger back section , an intake and a nozzle to make it longer and install a lot of wires and pipes to make it bigger. I will make the back section Like the 1:32 model, is larger in the rear.

    A hoby shop in my locality have a 1:16 pete kit and sold it for 70$ but theres a lot of aluminium parts for 1:24 scale so I think I will go with that scale http://www.kitformservices.com/metal.html
  21. midengineaddict
    Thanks... you just save me a lot of research on the net....
  22. midengineaddict
    If I fond a 1:32 set someday, I will take it for a chassis example but I will make my own bad to the bone 1:24 one but I have to finish an other project before and start the parts collection.... and the jet engine research
  23. midengineaddict
    there's a link to 1:32 AMT kit in another forum, the chassis looks good. the engines are not detailed, I think GE engines are all covered by fairings. Maybe it's possible to scratch build them.... http://forum.truckmodelworld.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4770

    This was a project I wanted to start a long time ago but 1:24 jet engine just don't exist If someone have an opinion or a solution about the project or if someone did it, let me know here the Pete I dont know if 3 of these engine in 1:32 whill be big enough Or that overkill F1 rocket engine in 1:36 scale (That engine is huge, the designer Seems to be willing to print it smaller) or take it in that scale and do a 1:16 truck http://www.shapeways.com/model/595980/f1-engine-1-36.html?li=productBox-search
  25. midengineaddict
    At that scale and that price(???) Maybe I would prefer a little bit larger one and drive it myself insted of RC
