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..

head lights on..see how easy and simple..but stunning..!!

more.. with brake lights on..

Good stuff mate

ready for run..
facinf duty..

thank you Bimal..if i loss for a second, yes my connection.. will loss server.. 

more at outside..

more..

more.. adding because all you can see how easy to make a craft..

e enjoy ur truck bro...

scale versus real..

with Mousee.. wanna race baby..? 

thank you Jay..
she is powered by a converted radio, my faourite Futaba 4YF , is in to 7 channel, and works fine..the wiper was added to a potentiometer, on TX to control the arm speed at action.. the second potentio meter is added to traction control, sensitivity.. so, can drive even on marbles and gravel as same..

in action..

how did you paint the wheels? Plz relpy man,i really wanna know

will she performs expected..? see the first video.. can see the horn actuation, self starting, and wiper.. with action..

painting the discs are too easy.. you can buy spray paint cans from car paint shops.. at the rate of Rs/-120..
mask with paper and just spray it on..

 
Amazing build sir really nice!

more action at sea side.. sorry for poor videos, because of my back pain..

thank you Punty..
friends.. what we sees here..? a stunning craft with scrapy things.. and performance..? far beyond expected..so, anyone can make this one..its all simple and easy.. as you see in build logs.. so, leave me behind.. and make some nice crafts.. for that we do not need to born in US or UK.. and need not thousands of Rupees.. need anly a mere 200 or 300 with us..if so, with a 30, 000 Rs/- how much crafts that we can make..!!  think again.. and be in RCying.. even at present, my daughter is headrolling with this craft.. so easy.. make many.. have nice RCying.. with your intact pocket..

You might wanna try a better motor and a speed controller,but looks killer man.
BTW whats the name of that orange paint? Is it durable or it gets flickered off after some time?

Trax..you are wrong..the motor is reworked for three times as to get a proper traction point.. in reality this motor came from a scraped helicopter..then i reworked to my specs.. and no need to change the ESC, as it is based on traction control.. this prevents wheel slippage all the time, and now simply it is working on a 7.2 volt battery, and is designed to work on 12 volts.. i am shhoting all videos in a slow manner as i am alone, and cant move faster with my freezing back pain.. so, will add a high speed video, when i get some one with me.. she is so powerful that she can jump a ramp easily.. the all shot videos are with less than 50 % throttle.. and blipping closed .. 

great effort 
looks beautiful

thank you raj.. hope we can see many crafts here as it is all simple to make once.. see once again.. how easy, handy is all..!!

 

Roopesh, even though I'm convinced that your modelling skills are unparalleled here, yet you never cease to amaze me. Well done Boss!

Roopesh sirji
