YEEHAAA!! NOW WE TALKING!
To day I did something that I have wwanted to do
for a long long time. I got my first "metanol"/nitro car. :)
It's supose to look like a Subaru Impreza. |
|
|
This is the cassi whit out any paint. |
|
|
DAMN it looks meen at this angle. |
|
|
This is the base plate whit out any weels or servo's. |
|
|
Another angle. |
|
|
DAMN IT!!!
This is the key that came along whit the box, that I was supose to screw
on the weel nut's whit.
But the damn thing broke of. CRAP! So now I only have one wheel on half way. I got all my tools at a friends place, so there are not much I can do right now. |
|
|
Fule. One liter. Should be fine for about 2.5 houers of driving. |
|
|
Had to get a new control as well. There was another one included in the deal, but I changed it to this one instead.
I allways had this other controles before, this once whit two "sticks", but I kind of like this one better. |
|
|
Servo controle box. |
|
|
One of the servo's. |
|
|
I know the Subaro "normaly" is blue, but I wanted something that no one eals has so I took red. Think it can be nice. |
|
|
This is Screw cement. I have put that under each screw, so thay want come of when I drive later on. |

Masked the windows whit tape. |
|
|
Washed the inside whit YES, to take of all the fat. |
|
|
Cut out the cassie and the wing thats going to be at the baggage door (tail). |
|
|

Got a new tool for the tires today. |
|
|
Pint job has dryed up. |
|
|
Still looking meen! Start picking of the window tape soon. |
|
|
Had to keep the cassi at the addict over night, becource my girl tought that it smell'ed to damn much. Dident help much saying that it smell'ed nice. :( |
|
|
Starting to remover the protective plastic. |
|
|
If you wounder I pinted it on the inside! |
|
|
OK, plastic is of. |
|
|
You should see it for your self. Umm umm ummm. DAMN! |
|
|
Total success. Nice and shiny |
|
|
This is all the decals that going to be all over the car. |
|
|
Had to get a new tool aswell. :) You can never have to many toys. |
|
|
To bad my girl dont feel the same way. |

Problemas... DAMN IT! I never tought that it should be this hard to put this car together.
I was supose to drill a hole in the exhaust pipe. Lycky me I got this drill yesterday. |
|
|
So I started to drill this hole. They
wanted me to use a drill whit the diameter of 2.9mm, yeah right. Like I
had one of thos just lying around here. Anyway I tought that 2.5 or something
like that would probly do just fine. Guess again. Becource in this hole
there are going in a "thing" where you can hock up a hose/tube.
They also want me to make the [screw]thread. Once again, YEAH RIGHT. So Im kind of stuck right now. |
|
|
This is the thing that I was drilling up the hole for. The plastic in the exhaust pipe is to damn hard, so I cant
just screew it in. I need help right now. |
|
|
But I managed to get all the wheels on it now anyway. :)
I also got the servos in place. But I have no ide of what the normal possition should be. I probly find that out as I go along.
Something stroke me to day that I totlay missed. Im used to electric cars.
Anyway, what I figured out that I feel kind of stupid saying is. There
are no back, the car can only go forword. |

Starting to get some of the decals on. It's damn hard to get them on nice.
I tend to get bubbels under the big once. Espachaly if the surface is curved. |

This is the "charger" for the "glowpin" (I have no ide what the enlish word is) |
|
|

|
|

|
|

|

This is raly dumb! The air filter is hard to get at, and I have to use a "buntband" to keep it in place. This filter have to be cleaned every time after a run.
I think they could have come up whit some better ide then that. |

|
