DIY 1/4 CARS RCMK 600B (finish the unfinished)
 
In fact this is about an unfinished post (started on April 13, 2013) by our founder and chief designer Mr. Yang. 2013. Here is the post: https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-...rcmk-600b.html. Due to the language, he didn't finish it. However it made a hit in a Chinese forum ( https://www.rcfans.com/thread-552461-1-1.html ). I think it is still worth sharing after 9 years passed. Let people see how we make our cars.

We didn't keep the original documents, so all the pictures are downloaded from the Chinese forum. The shame is all the videos are missing. The fabrication process spans almost 5 months. A lot of pictures. I will translate all the original words he posted in the Chinese forum, so that you won't miss anything. The post will be splitted into several updates, but this time I'll finish it. Any translation mistake, please point out.

Beneath is the designer's voice. Hope you'll enjoy it.


This is about the whole fabrication process of super off-road racer. It starts from upgrading 2-cylinder engine. Actually I don't know how to determine the scale.

First let's do the RCMK 2-cylinder engine. Regarding its dissipation issue, please follow up my post and I'd like to hear your voice.

Below is the design. I'll use RCMK 2-cylinder for it.

1st design is enforced dissipation. Sync belt drives the fan.
cons: 2 cylinders have different dissipation.
pros: it's mechanical.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5565a23a37.jpg

2nd design dissipates by 4 large fans.
cons: needs extra power
pros: stable and good dissipation

Chapter engine is over. Waiting for further update!

Chapter aluminum alloy body

First let's have a look at the design. I'll update the pictures on Mar. 22nd, 2013 (it's under Oxidation).

Body Configuration

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...ccfe147f1b.jpg

Update some pictures of metallic parts (before oxidation). My plan is first assembly and then surface treatment after confirmation.

Let's check the chassis length (overall 850mm)

Thanks for all the support and attention!
