Friends..Colleagues.. Modellers..
what is the easy way to attain an RC car, with immense performance..? yes..have two options.. buy a simple toy car and load 4 dry cells, acts as satisfied with it's performance..
secondly, withdraw a 30,000 Rs from bank, and order for an expensive car and wait a little, and after getting be in a self satisfaction.. if so, what will be the rate of satisfaction, that if we can make a car with dramatic and immense performance..? all our self..? and with all handy materials and things..?  great..

so, i was decided to finish this one far before, but was tied up in many modelling projects for Friends and as professional.. but now realizes that shutting down my creative side is just like putting an end to my life.. so, i divided my day in to two.. 8 hours for professional works and rest my creative works.. so great RCYING.....

here i started with some scraped toy parts, and wheels for saving some time.. at first the motor was chosen from my collection, but later replaced with a reworked motor.. i am thanking to my Friend Mr Sunil, for the cool motor from an old VHS VCR.. i reworked on it as for 4.8 volts, 3 Amps.. max..so, immense power within reasonable battery consumption.. and hours of pleasure..of RCyinggggg....

here, i spend about Rs 150/- including painting.. the PU paint costs most, but all others were handy.. the chassis of the car is by foam board, and top is all paper.. at first my intention was to make her as a track racer.. but after full installation it came as multi role because of her's immense performance.. so, i changed my mind from as a track racer to anything as track racer.. drifter..sand rider..gravel buggy.. and onroad racer..

i never used any suspension here as the tyres are too soft with.. and here this one shows we do not need a differential, for light vehicle, as you can see the performance of the vehicle under various terrains.. when we thinks about a car, or a land vehicle we instantly thinks about differentials.. but i was making lots of cars and vehicles without differentials because of the lightness of the craft.. !!

the front steering assy was taken from a toy and reworked with a reworked servo, for a greater torque.. a simple brass rod drives the steering strut..

can see the old reworked motor...

the chassis from foam board.. this gave me some flexibility without suspension..
the bottom cavity gave me the battery compartment..

after test rides i came to know about the potential of the machine.. so i decided to make a body accordingly, instead of a full cover saloon..so, a dry run with a paper template is a must, as this trial gave me a good view of final shape and proportions..

all tyres removed for painting of the discs..

roopeshkrishna

all discs were painted in odd silver to get a racy look..

all body panels are papers..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

body is designed as conical, for easy repair, while keeping all aspects of aero dynamics..
on chassis..

various angles..my intention is to make her look stunning...
Phoenix.........

after making all clear, water proofing is performed, yes because this craft is intended to take at sea shores to pump out in beach.. only such a place can hold her's speed.. she is so fast..

water proofing is done..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

as applying PU paint a base coat is a must.. and first rough coat is sprayed..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

the crash guards were from brass rods and foam boards..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

the same at rear.. all are kept light..

all stickers were done by softwares..and printed in an A4 paper.. cut and paste with scissors..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

the final colour is the mettalic vera blue, is a basic colour of Subaru Imprezza, is my ever favorite car..
after clear coat she is ready for the show..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

can see how stunning she is..

used a parabolic antenna with receiver to eliminate the cumbersome antenna.. the ESC with reverse, traction control avoid slippage in normal mode all are hand made.. she is also equipped with a horn and high power head light from L E D strips..

scale versus real..
