Definately subscribed, I don't want to miss another update! The chassis is too complicated for my brain, it hurts slightly!
Keep up the awesome work man

Absolutely love this mate, and i can only wish i had half your machining skills.
The ability to turn and mill parts would be perfect with these toys.
Cant wait to see the next stage on this beauty, makes me wish i had built my full size one now

MAN, top notch! As we say here in Montana, "...This ain't yer first Rodeo..." [sm=thumbup.gif] (subscribed)
Mostly I want so see how you get around to welding up some of those tubes you don't have good access to anymore on the roll cage.
That's gonna be tricky.
The only constructive criticism any of us could offer would be that we don't own it...

Thanks Bob .
Welding around tubes ( 10 mm bore - 1mm wall ) it is not difficult by MIG.
It is a welding point to point around. Project 1 had more closed area and I hadn't big problems .

RE: Project 2 by VassilisG -LOTUS 7
it's been a long time since i have looked into home made projects...this one is on the TOP!
-chassis home made is not so easy, your 2 models are very nice
-braking system with an XTR, very funny and clever! luxury looking too
-and the most impressive for me, your own differential home made...wow...
- the body is the only thing where i can do smothing similar! it's a nice beginning, i really love this car, it is in my project box with a lot of other one....
so i will look this project carefully...
keep creating!

Thanks sam123 .
Billet parts ? Have you a new lathe ? It's your time now .
I'll use an engine like this. Zenoah ,by ALRO , 4+ HP , 14000 RPM or something stronger ?
