hi, i thought i should introduce myself on this site.
i find the normal racing of RC boring so i thought i should design and make them instead. im 16 (17 in september) just finished my GCSE's so i have allll the spare time in the world.
back in january i started to design a rocket powerd RC that is aiming to go 200mph, i thought this would be a good project to start with, how hard can it be?
i started with some maths with thrust, weight ratios and lots of stuff.... then aquierd some CAD programs and put whats in my head onto the pc...

i finished the final design in febuary, and realised how expensive it would be, and this was 2 months of solid work, nothing else was done in this time... and there are twice as many designs than there are on the site....
so then realising im poor and young i designed for the fun of it and done 3 other cars that havent been done before that are ilistrated on my other blog.

i then took a break from RC for a few months to concentrate on GCSE's. and now im back designing, i have a few things im willing to sell to make this project, and i plan on it being a nitro powerd, 4 speed (custom) speed car. it will be a cross between F1 and la mans except without the wings...
at the moment i dont have solidworks so i cant do any 3D drawings of my design, i only have my 2D software but will be getting solidworks again soon.
thanks for reading through my story.
