Rc12r5.2 McLaren Project

Post by HorseNZ » Mon Dec 17, 2018 4:15 am

This is my first post of my cars. Picked up a RC12R5.2 on trademe which is the local site like eBay here in NZ.
Started a mold for a McLaren M8 that I’ve been thinking of making for a while and will machine up some aluminium wheels to complete the look

Wheels look very nice. Looking forward to seeing the McLaren touch on them.

A little more work on the mold. Pretty happy with the proportions now to start filling in so it will vacuum form. Hopefully can do this without losing too much of the M8’s iconic lines!

Duratrax sold a pipe in the early 90’s called a

See how the top pipe in the pic has that...

I love the engineering on many of the large scale kits. They look like lots of fun to build and tune, unfortunately it is hard to justify the cost for something that I would likely never get to use as there is no place local to race or run. They...

The nib one I have car with the Sanwa unit.

As far as batteries, I'm good with the one oem battery I have. If I do end up running one I will build a pack. When I was at the store last I saw several that looked dimensionally compatible

Anyone interested in making the Dyna Storm a performer? :mrgreen:

Last post

Thx! All info is open and you can buy the 3D printed parts from ORB Racing. We tried to find easy to get hold of parts for the future :mrgreen:

Only thing I have left to do is order a full carbon topdeck and a battery holder from Fibre-Lyte :arrow:

Now I'm not a big fan of nib collections, I just don't see the point, never have done, until this arrived today. 8)

That is something you need to talk to your powder coater about. My chassis had very minor scuffs and scrapes, not sure what they did, but you can't tell any of them were even there. Its something I wasn't concerned about personally--but i am glad...
