Lars: Yup that's the lathe I am talking about..Like I said I have not seen those in 30 years...My work area is the
kitchen table..So I am limited to what time I have to do my work..When I take the miss's to work for the day or
in the evening to work on my Firehammer....As I am retired..So all is ply time for me..AKASlawhammer

A little update here too.I was in a automotive shop some days ago and saw this flexible aluminium hose,and i suddenly found out where to put it!It is meant to be used as an pre heater hose between manifold and airfilterbox on 1/1-cars.So now the engine gets a bit cooler and fresher air.Some pics here too of the 9000 mAh battery,i made it to fit both the Capri and Focus

Long time since update now,but i have some future plans to put a diff in it as i have one complete from my [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7970048/tm.htm]MarderFocus[/link] which i can use.Have to get some bearingholders to take care of the diff,these have to be 12 mm as this is the outer dia on the diffhousing.Have also bought a new axle to do the conversion,i have to make longer shafts for the gears as i have to have more width on the transmission

Forgot to mention that i have installed a new Futaba receiver in the radiobox,now i can use my Futaba 3PK for this car too.I feel a little bit safer than with the Hitec Agressor i have used.

hi lars first of all i hope your ok i didnt know you were building a project well i can tell you one thing youve done alot of work and its nice any video of the car and what engine did you use ?
lars i need some help me and my friend are building 2 dragsters about 95 to 100 inches long . i need a strong petrol engine whaT do you suggest thanks nice capri

Lars from Norway

HI!I am fine,how are you?

Thanks a lot!
So you didnt know about my little project here?I only have pics from my project,no videos sorry.I have big plans for putting in a differential in it now,and maybe a little simple suspension setup too.The engine is a 45 ccm chainsaw from Jonsered.

WOW!100 inches?That is a long one(the girl said)Do you know anything about the weight of the dragster?I dont know how high the displacement of the engine is before it is 4 stroke,guess you want a 2 stroke.Take a look around at the different brands like Honda,Husquarna,Jonsered and similar,and see if you can find some technical info about their engines

kenazzo2000

hi lars im ok thanks im looking for a 54cc engine i dont know the weight yet cause ive just started ill keep in touch and find out what i can buy for an engine keep up the good work

Lars from Norway

Please do keep us posted about what you find out!

kenazzo2000

i will if anyone knows of a good petrol engine 46 cc to about 54cc please let mr know thanks

rckiwi

Use one of the chinese 50cc water cooled pocket bike motors also known as a Blata clone engine, you should be able to pick on up pretty cheap these days and make good hp approx 7-10hp

kenazzo2000

can you give me any dimensions or were i can buy one from thanks ?

dc2 man

hey lars

love this work,fair play to you,not many people have the guts to try and do what you have done here a lot of time and money,so whats happing at the moment with them?

what radio gear do you use?

rckiwi

Sorry for late reply! here is place in New Zealand who sells them you could check on ebay! Although the exchange rate to Euro it would be quite cheap even with shipping!

Lars from Norway

Thank you,thank you!
Them?Do you mean the money?Not much of these,financial crisis in my wallet for the time beingAs for the car,its not much that happens.I have a plan,but i dont have a lathe to realize the plan with[>:]Well,i can borrow a lathe but then i have to take a day off from work and go to where i worked earlierI am planning to put in a differential and make a simple suspension system at the rear,but no other plans than that.As i have mentioned earlier im doing some lights on the Focus now,so that is what consumes my time now

I use Futaba 3PK radio and receiver for this car,and also for the MarderFocus.They share the same frequency,but i have two different programs on the radio with different adjustments for each car,this is a fantastic radio in my opinion!

Don't suppose we'll ever get to see a video of this thing in action...?

C'mon Lars I put a video up of my prototype going nuts without steering or anything.....
.....surely we could get a short video of your car.....?






Puh-leeeeeease

Lars from Norway

I dont have any plans yet making a video of it,but sooner or later it will

dc2 man

well lars any news with the machines.

ever hear of a group from norway called bathory? lol

i used to listen to them once they would be viking metal...

they were actually weird enough in some ways lol but had good music....


so whats the word with this machine then?

Lars from Norway

Bathory?Have heard about them,i think i have heard some of their music too.

Still working on my Focus at the time,but it is some days ago now.Havent touched the Capri for some while now!Maybe i shall take the lid off and have a look on it

dc2 man

so hows it going lars?

any news on the machines?

Lars from Norway

Some news,i have made a new frontbumper for it!I was at IKEA the other day and found this gorgeous,jaw drapping,lovely and last but not least grey bread slicing board (or what you call it)!I have been looking for this for so many years now,and by a coincidence i saw this when i was walking there through the kitchen department with (behind that is[8D]) my girlfriend pretty bored and tired of shopping.This was worth the whole dayI have seen a lot of white ones,but not this grey one.
These are very tough and durable,and seems like they never will break,hehe.Had to use two to get the right width on them,so i had two handles left over from when i cut them.I thought i might as well use them for a rear bumper,as it doubles as a nice handle.The front bumper is lighter than the other i had before too,even without holes in it.

kenazzo2000

keep up the good work lars it s coming great

Lars from Norway

Thanks,and to you too!

dc2 man

nice work lars,man i like that front bumper man,good idea.....

kenazzo2000
