Many thanks
yes i did make a functional shell and painted it straight silver but you dont want to see it...it was crap..
but as you know i can make nice shells but i lost interest rapidly in this project
Thanks for the Kind comments

oh and can i just clear up the fact that the Durango it replaced was the old prototype 2005 model not the new DEX410:thumbsup:
this car was conceived before the production car was released

hey scott,
could you post some closer shots of the motor and slipper mount and of the mount under the diff housing, please.
Or a drawing of it or something.
Very nice car!!

cheers

Hello,
could someone point me towards as much info as possible regarding moulds for CF ? I've read the offroadcult article about the piranha p2 but that sure does not seem to cost 80 pounds...

Nice project anyway !

edit : wow I've been a oople member for so long to be able to see the pictures and yet it's just my first post !

Only just seen this! Fantastic craftmanship & thinking outside the box! *big applause*

To me the A-C carbon tub shells are the coolest & most impressive pieces of RC components I've ever seen in my entire life. I just love my S2 and S44!

Yours looks to be of the same standard!

AND - you've thinked outside of the box making that totally "alien/organic" top brace! Never seen anything like that!

Made me think... why not try to mold the whole shell out of thin carbon fibre, and attaching it firmly to the chassis, making it a part of the main construction itself? Then painting some of it, leaving some nude carbon...

Would be like today's top skis and surfboards, where you can see parts of the internal carbon (or wooden) core :thumbsup: PORN!!!

Different photos
glad you ALL! (amazing) liked it:thumbsup:
Thanks for the kind words
I dont do too bad for someone that knows nowt

And I have driven it!! It went very well, so easy to drive and balanced in the air.

I look forward to the next creation! ........... ;)

Next Week hopefully....:thumbsup:
Much better than this car....tease lol

Herectic I am happy that one of my cars inspired you to finally post
My moulds were not made of a bit of sawn timber!;)
Cheers

do you have a closer pic, a sketch or a drawing of the motor mount and the mount under it??

Hello till
What do you want the pics for?
Cheers mate

i want to do a car like that, i have a BMAx and the possibility to machine my own parts.So why not asking you for help with a part you already constructed!:p

Good work on this, you took an existing car and made it better, not many modifications in this section do that!

Very impressive fabrication.

Haha, that's what i assumed. Mind sharing the technique ? What do you use for mould, fiber, resin, etc...

I am working on a dex410 like this car
Should be ready early next week!:thumbsup:

Sorry heretic missed that post.
Sorry I can't answer that question really as I use many methods and am not sold on any of them
Plus I would like to do this on a commercial level and can't give away secrets

But basically buy some resin and some twill , make a mould stick in the twill with the resin and waaalllaaa! Let it set .... Job done
+ carbon and resin is very dangerous to work with !
Sorry I can't help
Cheers

Can't wait!

Sorry but I have not got the dex done yet as had a rather big total lack of Rc enthusiasm recently:(
But kind of back on it now
Cheers

I have recently been emailed regarding making someone one of these and did say no cause he was going to just shelf queen it ,but then he offered me proper money so I am dusting off the moulds
If anyone else fancies a weird bit of Rc exotica that goes really well :) pm me as my email on here is no longer working lol
Many thanks

Sorry my pm was full
You know who you are lol!
