Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Re: Scorcher-10
Yes it is a joke here at work. On the parts we produce, we have a tolerance of .010" I know there are tighter tolerances out there but it's a beeotch to keep a 12 foot part within the tolerances

Re: Scorcher-10
On a 12 ft piece, the tolerance should be more like 0.25 in..... I guess unless you are going military, but then again I gues it would dependent what the military deliverable is. Ford Mustangs used to come off the line anywhere from +-0.25 to 0.5 in, I know AMG and HMMWVs (Hum-vees) are +- 2 to 3 inches (no joke).shodog wrote:Yes it is a joke here at work.

I work for a prominent military contractor in a classified program and thats all I can say. Kind of a bummer when your at a party and someone asks, "What do you do?"mrlexan wrote:

Re: Scorcher-10
Wow, 2-3 inches. That's crazy. We had really tight tolerances when building trannies for Caterpillars wheel loaders, log skidders, and motor graders. But one rule always stood above the rest: "When in doubt, ship it out"

Me too Jim, I know how it feels. Nothing Classified right now, but I go to FOUO and Classified meetings ever now and then. You in the JPAS system?

Re: Scorcher-10
I could not find the thread I posted months ago on here showing how much I chopped off the tub on my Scollins RC10 Scorcher- (which I assume you were inspired by scr8p-he he)
I have not been on this great site lately as the day job as a car designer is draining me from getting time for the RC10s- long story slowly moving into a new company possibly but may be a couple /three months....blah blah blah...
Hope all is well, when the career madness settles down I will be back on the RC10 talk more regularly..............
Until then here is a fun project I finished up last weekend and posted on TamiyaClub, my newest on-road runner for goofing off at the local parking lot by my house-

take care fellas, hope to be more involved in the threads in a couple months

Re: Scorcher-10
Sweet and your welcome. Hope you don't mind the right rear fender, I figured a man with your skills.... it should be a no-brainer. Other than that the body is pretty much perfect.
