RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
why do offshore manufacturers insist on using the 5b platform for everything:eek: other than there are probably warehouses full of clones available dirt cheap.
i see a shaft driven 4wd conversion...shame they didn't put in any effort to actually come up with something new instead of flogging an old dead horse who's platform is a long way short of great. made by who knows but marketed by fidracing.com an gtbracing.com (same company with 2 names) |

Whatever happened to the day when quarter-scale cars were made of welded steel tube and alloy.
This thing looks like it's 90% plastic. Insert big YAWN here. If people want a plastic car they buy small scale stuff. Now can we get back to something interesting, like your welded tube and alloy home-build Moo. It's far more impressive. |
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
it looks a bit like a baja yes but is you look closer it's totally different ... its not just a converted baja chassis ia a lot wider to start with ... front c hubs look like losi 5 or rampage etc
im keen to see more of it ... show me where you can buy a off the shelf 1/4 scale 4wd with a twin in it ?????? i think this look great !! |

RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
I cant see one bit of that car that is from a baja, the only resemblance is it has 4 wheels.

RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
4WD! theres a shaft in the middle?
|
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
This is the FID 4wd concept, and by the looks of it this a prototype with 3d printed plastics.
Correct me if i'm wrong FID but being an engineer i kinda recognize prototype stuff pretty easily, just don't tease us actually make this thing please! |
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
more photos of car please !!

RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
looks good , but that front bumper will crumble really bad , in a crash , double side fuel tanks is interesting , looks nothing like a hpi baja .

RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
roof looks too flat, needs to be higher.
|
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
nice concept. but dont like the cage , the lights, and all that weight in the back.
|
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
I like the individual parts and the project as such...... but I think the overall look and proportions are horrible [&:]
Bigger wheels and different roofline would probably make it look better. Then again I suppose it's a good idea to see how it handles first and worry about the cosmetics later.... Will keep watching to see where this goes. And no, I couldn't design anything like this myself, but I still have opinions ;) |
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
i cant read chinese , it looks like the head gaskets were removed and smeared on some gasket silicone instead ? thats bad. motor is going to get really hot with a very tight squish like that
|
RE: DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B
the rcmk gaskets are pretty thin, about half of a 4 bolt zen, but it will still decrease the squish a few thou...
personally i'd use gaskets to goo, properly torqued they don't leak, if i do use goo i use just enough for a very thin layer on each surface so i don't get goo squidgeing out the seams, seems like quite a lot in the pictures...it doesn't take much to squidge out to disrupt the airflow thru the transfers i looks like a chrysler 300 station wagon weighed down at the back with groceries:D https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...DPSOeFo9x2gX7A i'm interested to see it run... and stiffer rear springs should help some |
