Something different....yeah!

[Muddy]

Hi everyone!

I was thinking about Carbon Fibre arrow shafts for the frame on the wing....the wing will be 0.8mm lithographic plate aluminium...

how do you guys say Aluminium????

anyhow... the beast is all stripped down (again) I need to dream up a wing, wing frame, and maybe a wheelie bar.
I made some fibreglass liners for saddlebags on my neighbour's bike last weekend, (the bags were sagging, so we stiffened them up from the inside)
now I'm inspired to make a fibreglass body for the rail...hmmmm, too many things to do!!
what first???

 

[Muddy]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me more about the 90cc SOLO engine?

I have a web budy who uses them for a 1/4 scale drag car, but he makes his own crank cases.
wouls standard donk give me punch?
My current powerplant is a 44cc Poulan (I know there is no substitute for cc's)

 

[Muddy]

Anyone?

 

[2000ssm6]

Whatcha lookin for? I don't have a IPL but if you give the model # I'm sure someone can help.

 

[Muddy]

Model No. ? yeh, I'll have to find out. Maybe the guys at the mower outlets can chew the fat with me for a while; depends on how busy or interested they are.
Anyhow, I started on a body, fibreglass over snake mesh

 

[Sprig]

Lookin' great there Muddy! Thanks for getting back to us folks over here man!

Lol 'snake mesh', we call it chicken wire here, must be a down under thing
(ya ya I know, snakes, big poisonous snakes)

That is a pretty sweet looking setup you have there.

A guy I work with and I are building a cheap 1/5 scale RC with the use of a poulan Wildthing engine. We decided on this route from the removable engine assy, verses a pro saw thatwould require a bunch of machining to get the crankcase squared away.

The Stihl MS 290, 310 and 390 and bigger cc versions that have teh removable engines. I would think any of them with a nice port would really scream. I've done porting on saws, but not quite sure where i would start the process for something like this.

We haven't gotten far with our project. We are still in the process of building the chassis. I donated the motor...lol

Thanks, my car is getting heavy! It weighs in now at 14.5kg (31.96lb)
Maybe this donk wil be just enough to tell if I got it all lined up right.
I'll get back to you about a scale 1/5 drag car (started out as an FG Sportsline chassis) FG is from Germany - nice stuff.
I'll need to chat with the local mower shop service blokes, they usually will be able to differentiate who makes "tough" engines

OK, here's some dudes having fun....

[splittah]

rep for you... really cool dragster. I have never seen anything like it.


By the way, nice clean shop you have there.

 

[Muddy]

Is there a saw motor with 2 x cylinders?

I saw a guy in France has a 1/4 scale Le Mans Car (made by a company called 'Yankee") with 2 x cyl in line

I'll dig up a photo

 

[Muddy]

It's called a B30

2 x 15 cc engines together.

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

Sweet looking ride.

 

[Muddy]

Well, I haven't been able to do much work on my car, but I stuck some images on youtube......check it out

There's another, but it's 9 minutes

@ Muddy,

was wondering if the chicken mesh in te video is your base layer for your body?

you want to fight weight, you have space frame so you dont need a hard body.

ever thought about heat shrink wrap. (dont know what it is called exactly)
Looks as if your space frame can be done in 1 piece. Then cut openings where nesecary. Eventually multi-layer is possible. This material is stable, has quite some stretch (i can imagine the frame is flexing quite a bit), comes in good thickness, etc

Only a spark.



Btw; Looks awfully good!

 

[joecool85]

Wow! That looks great! Have you done a test run yet? I'd love to hear it rip up the track.

 

[Simonizer]

What does it run like with that long large volume intake runner?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[Muddy]

I've taken it for a spin, but it was just one step better than a bench test....another drive is coming. I started to block down the body...

 

[Darkness77]

What a project muddy. How long have you been building this thing?:jawdrop:

crikey ?? you got time on your hands tom treeopcorn:
