RC Olds wagon with a twist

[Richard Bartrop]

Modelers devote a lot of effort on duplicating how a car looks, but this guy tried to duplicate how a car moves.  It's not perfect, but it is an interesting experiment.

that is really cool;

Whomever did the body also did a great job, and it would make a nice kit.  3D printing will allow us to eventually create our own.  How about some Starfires!

For the first minute and a half it's like watching a nervous noob in driver's ed learning to parallel park!

WOW , Fantastic model , only thing I can see it needs , is a driver figure .

This is so cool. Thanks for the link!!

That would be freaky bodied up to look like Christine!

Very interesting car. Impressive suspension action and the exhaust flames are great. The builder put a lot into this. The only down side in watching this move around is the front tire geometry when the front wheels are turned. I'm afraid to ask how much he has in parts alone in this.

That front end geometry is normal for R/C drift cars (1:1 drift cars too, IIRC) espo, especially that crazy steering angle built into that front suspension.

So car as parts cost, there are places to get that stuff from that is c-h-e-a-p-!-!-!, but I'm not always sure about quality and hate having to swap bad parts out for good on my R/Cs.

Thanks for the info. I really don't know much about R/C cars and never thought about the Drift Cars steering geometry. Learn something new every day.
