making an air scoop

[Lowie]

Anyone experience in how to make an airscoop in a body?
I would like to make an airscoop into the (now flat) roof of a regular lexan car-body.
It has to take in /deflect airflow to an ESC positioned just under it.

Could it be done with the use of an hair blower and maybe a mould that is pushed into the hot lexan?

Have a look in your local supermarket cosmetics /toiletries /chemists section for cheap body / hand cream products with lightweight caps, some have eggshell shaped ones Ideal for the type of scoops your looking for.
Add some lexan cutoffs to them having cut them longitudinally and two from one cap is what you get.
Fixing is a peice of cake with either superglue or doublesided tape having marked and cut out the roof to the protruding shape IMHO.
Good luck M8

I made one once by cutting up a Losi XXX-4 gear cover, part number LOSA4209, it worked well until Ian ripped it off while putting transponder in my car... spod.

Just cut the front window out (or part of it).

erm why not try making a scoop using the old coke bottle heat gun trick then simply ca it to the body and cut underneath.dunno if it will be easy to form just an idea though

Can't remember the name of it but I saw a set of metal bits that you heated with a hot air gun and then pressed the scoop straight into the unpainted bodyshell. Maybe if you found a handy shaped piece of metal you could do the same...
