Re:/ porsche 962 miller high life
so all most there !! had to check the wheel base just in-case "measure multiple time and then mock up " it will be worth it in the long run.
with out checking im at 40 ish hrs into it which is funny cos thats how old i am .
so that was the easy part now to make A MACHINEI have only done the online search's they seem to be few and far between > And i a tight ass when it come buying how to books the principle seems straight forward heat, suck, pop ! But im sure i will work it out . the next phase is to buy some lexan there seems to be no .40 out there which is a shame because its not like the cars of today have any power issues ,so the extra weight would be much problem .
It has the wheels i will be using on the rear and what came with it on the front
And thanks to Al for the parts im almost there on the car just need the fuel tank thats under raps for now

Re: Green wood Corvette
OK so change of tac i had enough bondo for a while and until my parts show up for the vacuum former i am stuck .
i though i would start the other rc500, the car came with a bag of parts mostly new there was a front lower wishbone missing. so i figured he smashed it right out of the box and replaced the front end with new black parts as all the white parts on the front are new (including the wishbone Thanks Al)
i scored 2 new rear bulkheads and arms so that gives me the full set of black for the greenwood .
And seeing as i am making all new chassis for the Porsche the greenwood get the chassis to
so fresh from the dremmel new front brace and radio plate to compliment the new parts
so the rear end will end up dyed black for the greenwood build im waiting on some bearing adapters for the new bulkheads before putting the new parts on the back
got a nice period correct enya 20 bucks it needs a ring on the piston so im on the hunt for parts to get it fixed
seems to be some conflict with the carb anyone know what else will fit instead?
its a Enya #4501 .35 or has some spare for this particular engine !

Re: Green wood Corvette
So here are some shots of the body its a Porsche 962 and have sat on the decals for over two years well over due for being used up the advanced wheels stick out about 1/8 each side
I have a set of four rear wheels so i will be reworking two into front wheels .
Here is the nerve center of the treehugger workshop. i just cleaned up and hid all the crack pipes and other paraphernalia prior to taking this pic. From the back Porsche whale tail DS all alloy A/L trans ,New built rc10 nitro truck ,Just finished green worlds truck with a dahms commando body (my new runner ),and tucked away on this end is my Favorite rc vehicle a really old NITRO 10T, had half a tank through it . MINT

Re: Green wood Corvette
So after months of sleepless night worrying about what sort of fuel tank to get i kind of made a knee jerk decision to go with a sddle affair .But after it arrived i realized to much work to balance the fuel during supply to the carb .
And as i look at it i think i can make one to the shape i want .
as i want the weight of the fuel to biast towards the front i will put in some baffles to keep the fuel from sloshing around on corners and under acceleration.
The rough shape will have five sides the throttle servo will be compartment-ed into the body of the tank
i got some paper glue on a stik today so i will get sticking and mock one up
