Glad to see that you have your car running and making dust. You are so lucky to have both a dirt track and a paved track to run your car on. It takes a bit of practice to get everything coordinated but I can well imagine that the smile was as big on your face as it was on your daughters face. Thanks for sharing that with us. :bow: :bow:

Cheers :)

very nice model.
i used to race 1/10th scale buggy with OSmax 3.5 CC ic engines. i gave up when my van with all my models, spare parts, engines controlls and tools got stolen :-[ :-[

now back to workshop for you, start fabbing suspension wishbones, chassis and such from high grade aluminum. i found even on 1/10 the stock parts didnt hold up heavy racing ;D
 
Hi Alexandre!!

I was starting to wonder if you had disappeared...
Now i know the reason you have been so quiet for a long time, the big move back home!! ;D

It looks like a beautiful city!!!

Hopefully you can set up a shop now and start working with the lathe!

Hi Alexandre

Thanks for all the great pictures. It sure looks like you have a great track there to race your cars. It looks like one site for cars and airplanes. Your daughter sure looks like she is enjoying herself. Keep on having fun. :bow: :bow:

Cheers :)

Speaking of license, here in the US if Homeland Security has its way your gonna need one to fly RC or in the worst case not fly RC at all. AMA's been fighting it. I hope they're successful.

well, over here you do need license to fly RC airplanes. and still than you are only allowed to fly on fields that belong to a club that have a license to use it as airfield. not just anywhere. sound restrictions are getting rediculus slowly and i wonder when inviroment freaks start pounding on emissions................ :-\

Not yet, Dave... but soon... now I will change the parts with defects only.

And I want think a form to install a disc brake on each rear wheel, with sensor hall to measuring wheel speed, inclusive of the front wheels and processing the informations for commanding four servos, one for each wheel, that trigger a hydraulic cylinder, also one for each wheel, as the ABS in a full cars and traction control.

Now I'm here... in Solidworks... thinking... thinking... soon I post something !

Cheers,

Alexandre
 
That's how we went with my son's car....but we left the suspension arms of plastic. It is good to let them good in a wreck as it saves the chassis.
