Losi 1/24 Sct

mitchg95 Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:11 am

Im building up a Losi 1/24 scale short course truck to use a cox .020, not sure if I want the peewee or teedee version but I do want a throttle. And I hope to do l.e.d lights for the 4 tail lights and the two head lights
I designed the chassis for the new car...
Losi 1/24 Sct FJBvlXnl

but because of the body that I have decided to use, I have to make the new chassis more narrow Sad

Here is a quick look at the stock version of the car with the body I have chosen... It is a 1969 Corvette 427, 1/25 scale revell kit body that I found at the good will...
side
Losi 1/24 Sct R97H0wIl

front

back

top

so far I have drilled the mounting wholes for the body posts, epoxied the front and rear windows in along with epoxying the hood down
Being a kit from good will, I expected for parts to be missing, so with that said I dont have the side windows for the car, but that is fine with me. Maybe Ill have better cooling for the engine and I should be able to reach the glow clip ignitor onto the glow head
Not sure on the gearing for my future car, but I would like the top speed to be around 10mph, way slower than my brushless version with a 11.1v lipo which hits 40mph! Lol, I want to be able to control this one so that I dont fudge up the body because it looks so darn cool.
I should be able to make some of the new chassis next friday

Cool Mitch!

I will follow this tread. I have some cox powered rc cars and also a traxxas slash 2wd brushless.
I am also thinking about converting one of my Kyosho 0,49 Cox powered car to a tee dee 0,49.

A cox powered off road rc car would be cool. Regarding the glow plug, maybe you could use crocodil clams.

crocodile clamps would work great thanks for the tip Smile

im thinking of switching out the tires for the ones that are on the losi 1/24 scale micro truggy which are a little bit taller than the ones i have now.
I dont normally have class on fridays but I asked my teacher and that is the only time I can have to make the new chassis parts, but hey, because of this class I hate weekends lol Shocked

my uncle says im gonna be the weird neighbor that never leaves his garage once i get a job as a machinist working on the cnc machines and once i also have a lathe and a mill in the garage lol

Hey Mitch.

I started a project like this before getting ill.
I still have all the plans and list of parts somewhere.
Mine was throttled and had a manual clutch.
I will get back to you.

Indra your back!!! good to see you again, hope you are feeling better. I have not been able to start making the chassis for the car at school because I have been very busy making a stirling engine, and im looking at maybe getting these machines Smile

http://www.wttool.com/index/page/product/product_id/14806/category_chain/12642,12920/product_name/Mini+Machine+Combo+Packages+%28WT%29 this way i can make the chassis for the sct, and a 1:32 scale live steam traction engine
cant wait to here back from you with the plans, would love to see the manual clutch and throttle Smile

Good to hear from ya.

I say go for it, I was looking into getting a lathe and/or mill before stuff went bad, great to hear that you're going for a stirling engine, if you want to progress into IC I've got plans for many engines including some really tiny and challenging ones.

mitchg95 Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:03 am

that would be awesome indra Smile

ill have to save everypenny that I get from now on out lol
how small is the smallest engine plan that you have?

nitroairplane Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:08 am

0.1cc or 0.006

wow that is tiny

nitroairplane Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:13 am

Yup, it's aptly named the 'nano' reported to outperform a tee dee .010 on the same 3x1.25 prop.
I think the quoted RPM was 30,000-35,000 rpm.

dang dude, that is amazing. Is it a diesel?

nitroairplane Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:16 am

It sure is, I think there's a few articles online about it.
I can try and find some for you now.

My bad, the claimed RPM is 40,000 RPM Smile

that thing is so cute lol i love it!

mitchg95 Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:25 am

can you email or pm me a copy of the plans?

I have to dig them out and scan them (If they weren't damaged) but then I'd be happy to send you a copy.
I should warn you though, before you invest any time in the project that tiny diesels are difficult to operate even when they're built by people with as much experience as Valentine or Hende, it takes a fair bit of practise. Making them is a challenge too, all the machining must be very precise.

thanks for the warning, if i do make it i probably will not run it as is the story with almost all my model engines.
when you find the plans my email is
mitch.geiger331234@gmail.com
thanks a bunch indra!

nitroairplane Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:34 am

Cool man, I'll get it done.

IF you do get it made and want to know if it does run you could let me try, I haven't found a small engine that I couldn't get to run eventually.

mitchg95 Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:35 am

lol, i will for sure Smile
