Title: 40 kmph r/c car built from scrap Post by: AnjanBabu on June 30, 2013, 12:43:09 PM Nov 2012, I had 8 hours before my electronics exam, I was suffering from extreme rc hangovers and had to get my hands working on something and this baby is what I built (:|~. All materials used are scrap. Only battery, servos and rx are off-the-shelf. motor was extracted from a broken hand juicer and was rewound to work with 12v, KV rating unknown. Didn't have time to build an ESC, so threw in a switch and a servo to turn it on and off :giggle:. checked straight line speed with a radar gun and it clocked between 35-40 kmph on 3 runs. Unfortunately, the car zipped out of radio range and crashed into a concrete sidewalk :banghead:, never tried fixing it again.

Did you have any damping from the refill in the ballpoint pen or did they serve more of a structural/aesthetic purpose? Title: Re: 40 kmph r/c car built from scrap Post by: AnjanBabu on June 30, 2013, 10:56:21 PM That's pretty cool. The shock absorbers had springs inside them. They did an amazing job for an improvised component, ran the car on asphalt and the ride looked pretty smooth.Did you have any damping from the refill in the ballpoint pen or did they serve more of a structural/aesthetic purpose? BTW, i used bicycle spokes for the shock's piston rod, not a ball pen refill.

If you're talking about he black plastic thing glues to the pen shaft? It's something I extracted from a toy, some internal component.
