You need to machine pieces for your ride?

Thats how its done!

I'm just in the process of creating a flywheel for my 12 year old Team Associated RC300 car Lets see how much it costs to fabricate.

wow this is neat how much was it? let us know how this works?

 

[Lessen]

that's sweet, I wonder how complicated the program is. Maybe I'll have to check it out sometime. Thanks for the link!

Lessen is right that is Hella Sweet! Think of all the possibilitys.

I took a CAD class in High School not only was it pretty easy but Fun.

Thats awesome, how much was it to make the flywheel?

 

[nitroking]

I downloaded the cad program.IT aint that hard i downloaded it for designs i need to make for me not for him to build,it aint that hard.He also does Lexan suction molding(how the make r/c bodies).

 

[Lessen]

is it easy enough for somebody w/o CAD experience (like myself) to use?

 

[NCNitro]

Thats very cool, thanks for the link Scummer.

Hey ImBroken, maybe you can get a new chassis made for your dragster.

Lessen i dont have any CAD experience and i started maessing around after my third try of designing a go kart rol cage i got it done..it just wont l;et you see 3D if lines intersect,or if they arent closed

 

[Lessen]

dude, that's totally awesome... I could design a good roll cage for my twin engine Maxx!!! oh man... and the wheels start turning...

 

[nitroking]

The only problem i found is that in 3d it just show it to be like a 1/4 inch wide

 

[RC10GT-GUY]

Anyone tried to make a chassis??? I want to see how much it would cost to make one out of titanium grade 5 for my rc10gt.

 

[Scummer]

dang.. for 1 flywheel its 107$ to make. For 10 flywheels its 170$, making it 17$/piece.

Anyone needs a flywheel for an AE RC300 ?

 

[Lessen]

*whistle* dang... that's steep. I'll go buy a MIG welder and make my own rollcage. At least I know where to get some argon....

 

[ADDAndy]

That's cool, but I'm stil having trouble getting the 3D right, any suggestions?
