Siebenelch's awesome Vitec thread

[m_vice]

Awesome Job Michael, I remember reading in the magazine about you car.
Thanks for sharing your design Michael.

I personally have hand crafter some very nicely finished G10 towers if some of you want to work together in building some of these cars I am up for it.

The hardest for me is finding the CF sheet with the 25deg bent on it. And the design for the rear and front arm mounts.

[Mr. ED]

I have asked the people of carbon atomic (the member on this forum) about a year ago for a plain sheet with a kick-up.
They can do it, but are not planning to put it into their catalog.

An ultima front bulkhead can easily be narrowed to fit an MK I style buggy. And the part the RC10T arms go on is an exact fit.
Or you can pick up this ready-to-go from Tower:

downside: it won't fit a standard rc10 kick-up: not long enough, you 'll have to use other hingepins or ream for the larger US-size hingepins.

you could take a RPM front bulkhead and cut the "center brace" in the middle, that would give it a really narrow peice

Wow i'm glad someone posted this. I've never seen that car before or even heard of it! VERY COOL looking!

Do you happen to still have the cad files? I have a friend that can cut us parts to build cars and i'd CERTAINLY love to have one (and about 12 of those bodies!).

[Asso_man!]

I'm totally in to help in any way to repro one of those, they ROCK like Erich in a party

[Minicooper 35]

Do you happen to still have the cad files?

By the way, at that time I made all drawings on millimetre-paper.

And all parts are hand-made. There is no CNC-part at this cars!

I don't think so Erich ...

[m_vice]

Awesome I can see a lot of people wanting to help and get one of these beauties.
Hey Michael can you let us know what CVDs bones did you use on the MK-1 and on the MK-4?

thanks

I can do any CAD drawings we need if i get any hand drawings with dimension.

[Minicooper 35]

From what I know he used Yokomo Works '93 universals (and uprights/bearings) on the MkI.

Maybe MX-4 ones one the MkIII?

But that's not 100 percent until Mr. Vitec confirms.

That picture of the vacuum form body mold is great. What a great form! I've always wanted to make one of those. AND- the picture was taken on a bridgeport milling machine. very cool.

[MOmo]

Im all over getting one as well. i vaguely recall the car in a mag once. VERY Cool! Rivals that of the AE Stealth car.

If the elements could be repo'd, I would be all over it! Very cool indeed. please keep us posted.

[Mr. ED]

I still want ot try a tribute to the early concept. Any possibility of showing us how the the rear arms were mounted without interfering with the gearbox and moterplate etc?

thanks, erik

[ericsp2]

hey I remember reading about that in the mag. i saw the one with the white arms. do you have any pics of the rear arm mount on the first buggy? also my friend ownes a machine shop and can help in any way you need. i'd like to see everyone get this car built too.

[minimini]

wow.......awesome work !!........

I think this car has the shadow of Masami's 91 RC10........

[AYKBOBCAT]

Man I love those wheels Who make those?

[Asso_man!]

JConcepts, Rulux wheels in white or yellow, they come by four
