Fifth scale 2008 F1 Car
 

Hey guys. Long time no post. I just realized that I hadn't posted my latest project on this board. I started it a month ago and the whole story can be found at http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69302. I'll just post the pics right now.

dude that is SO SICK

Sick indeed,i hope it does make it into 3-D.

Does the duel master cylinder have bias adjustment then? Is that the drawing after the master cylinders with the 2 screws in it?

What would be insane is if you machined a mold for the wishbones(instead of the arms themselves)and layed them in carbon,and the bodywork for that matter:004:

Nice work.

I know it's time consuming to design a car in SW that body is neat man.

The body was especially time consuming. Every time I get something right something else messes up. It's a two steps forward one step back kind of thing. I do like the way it is developing, though.

I know what you mean. You need to make points absolute by measuring them to another point. (sounds weird, but that's what SW likes..)

I like to see pics as you go along. It rocks so far.

Can you post a screenshot without the outlines?

I too would like to see it without the outline. But great work! I lvoe custom stuff!

Hmmm... without lines or a rendered picture? Without lines is a piece of cake but looks horrible. I have no rendering skills and right now and can't work on them as I need to focus on design. The deadline for this project is November 30 and seeing as this has already taken over a month, there is quite a bit of pressure. I'll aim for a high quality (or as high as my computer will allow) rendering near the end.

BTW: I shortened the gearbox, lengthened the shocks, and added 3 batteries. Heres a question for you guys: what batteries would be the best here? The motor is a Lehner 3060 and the ESC will be a Schulze 40.160. Not that there are plans of actually building this project (unless one of you wants to donate around 10k), but what would be a good pack?


JB

Question, if you don't plan on building it, then why is there a deadline? Lookks great, by the way!

It's my entry into the SolidWorks Student Design contest.


JB

Since the 40.160 can take 13s Lipo max., you could go with a 12s or 13s 4000mah setup, using Maxamps' cells.

How many aH would be enough for a decent run w/ a 3060 with lower (6 to 10 ish) turns?

Update: Front suspension is (in theory) there. No specifics are worked out, but the shocks, links, mounting towers, etc. are present. I don't know how to do a stabilizer as the mounting is quite different than the laydown style I was expecting. There is not enough space to get decent sized shocks in there laydown style. The rear got an update too.

Well, today was a big day. Two things happened. One: I became satisfied when I realized that over 90% of the components are present. Two: I realized how much work I have to do in order to make it work. The second one is kind of overwhelming, so I'm trying to push that emotion away for a while so that I can get a big enough boost from the first one.
