hello All,

Here's another one of my older cars. This was a truck I build specificaly for a local carpet oval track. The "track managers" were giving my buddy a hard time about running his truck (my old reflex 10). They said that it didn't qualify as a truck because it wasn't a conversion of a traditional truck. This got me reall pi**ed off, so I decided to build a truck that met thieir requirements...they weren't expecting this.

We called it "project X". There was nothing sinister about the name...it just so happens that I found a tiny PROJECT X decal on an old Kyosho decal sheet

Lot's of RPM parts, bunch of time hand cutting the chassis...

This car is a great example of what rc racing is all about.Using good ideas to get the advantage.It looks great and the hand made chassis looks as good as a machined one.

My hat off, and a deep bow.

stunning

very nice

Awesome work mate. Fantastic.

Nothing beats a big F.U. like this to the nit pickers trying to hold you down.

Good Job.

Looks awesome! Question on the chassis.

When you made it, was it a hand drill and a band saw or is there some other technique for getting it to look so finished?

hello All...

Thank you all for your kind words...

As for the construction of the chassis, I used a drill press for the holes. Everything else, cutting & shaping was with a dremel tool. A cutting wheel was used for the straight lines and the general shape. The curves were done with a drum sander attachment.

That was actually a 1/8 thick sheet of circuit board material...fiberglass sandwiched by copper. I had to peel the coper layer to expose the bare fiberglass.
