Friends..Colleagues.. Modellers.. this one is my new off road race truck, made, because of a challenge, from a person, who is a friend of my Colleague, claiming as a Mechanical engineer, working abroad, as he said us, it is impossible to make a race truck from scraps and paper.. its a nice challenge.. and i wonder from about his comments, that as "impossible", why i do not know..!! and later he was un able to answer my simple questions like, what is Engineering, and who is an Engineer..!! anyhow this gave me good truck, that i am suffering from a severe back pain..
here i thanks to some of my Friends, especially, to Ashraf, and selvan for scrapped and damaged toy parts.. and most of the scrapped toy parts are collected from nearest town, by weight.. if we ask for the price, to a specific part, the scrap sellers asks a lots money for it.. so, i always goes there with a torn out dhoti, with a torn out t shirt, with a sack in hand.. as ugly scrap collector.. say nothing but collect all needed parts and put it is sack.. weigh it.. take it as 3 Rs/- for a Kilogram.. so happy..

i am sharing all here not to show what that i can do, but instead to show you all how easy to make an excellent craft with stunning performance.. a craft in this scale will took about around 30,000 Rs/- even without a radio.. but here i spent about 200 Rs/- for finishing it with painting..
so, you can see how simple it all.. i clearly know, many of us lullabies in mind about a craft like this, but stays away from this because of the extreme cost.. but if you have a little time with a little interest, you can make your own within a short time.. i took about 4 hours of time to complete this craft, including electronics.. that even with my back pain.. so, its so easy..

this craft employes many goodies..
1) real engine noise, including self strat sound, and it is synchronized with ESC for throttling and idling..
2) a heavy horn notes..
3) lighting..
4) full multi mode traction control and braking..
5) all are hand built, including ESC..
6) working wind shield wiper..

here starts.. once again.. my postings and efforts are not to show for anything, but to show you all an easy way to make a dreamy craft our own.. with ease..
here i starts with 4 scrapped wheels.. the wheels are in big dia, and too soft for an off road race vehicle..i havent used any suspension here as well as any differentials.. so, please do not think and waste time to collect and buy to these stuffs.. we no need it all..
you can see the scrapped toy..
and 4 identical wheels..

the main driving gear box.. is scrapped.. and front steering assy..also scrapped..

steering assy is completed and can see i removed all need less sticks and parts from it..to fix servo..

wheels attached to main gear box..
servo is attached to main steering assy.. the chassis is based on 4 mm foam board..

steering assy in close up.. reveling the fitting sequence.. see how simple and easy..

now time to add body works.. a dry trial run is a must.. so tried with a paper template..
finalized and started working.. all paper..

whole cabin is based on drawing paper..

as an off road truck, the ground clearence must be high.. so, keeping this aspect in mind, added the cabin height..
bumper added..

more.. and on chassis.. trials..

adding fenders.. all papers..

rear views..

fuel tank, and battery holder are papers..

after completion the all parts are water proofed with plasticiser, and kept in front of the fan..

  I am speechless....

 

chassis are painted in mat black..
and final assesments..

now final painting is started.. this craft is based on a Mitsubhi truck, that i saw, in raceyard, for training, as i was in traing course at Hozur, when i was 22.. the jade green selected from that memory..

sprayed all discks in bright orange as it became stunning in my computer assesments..
all stickers are scaled in Photoshop and printed in an A4 paper..cut with scissors and paste..

head lights are made by paper and added 4 lens from old scrapped CD drives..

can see the lens here.. and final moments.. almost complete..

first 12 pics and i was like,why is this guy fiddling with broken toys , then saw all other pics, and speechless.
 All i can say




RESPECT BRO RESPECT...!!!  


Big thumbs up

stickered..
wiper is based on a paper arm, water proofed, and driven by a rewoked servo for reciprocation..

oh..sorry friends.. connection is too slow.. so no notifications.. about postings.. a million thanks..
you can see the simplest attachment of the wiper mechanism..with a flick of the switck on TX this will come to life.. can adjust speed also..

can see the final head lights.. all made from acylic sheets and L E Ds.. scribibg achieved by scrapping on sheet with piont iron..
