School Project

Remote Control StockCar Tank.

49CC Water cooled motor from the moto gp race bikes [Mini bikes]

Can pull 65ish KM/h With someone on a bike so will be lighter then a person.

All the "StockCar" bits can be removed to take all the weight off and have some fun =D

As you can see alot of work to go but should be very fun.

Getting some bimmersport stickers for the beast also =}

Awesome, My school didn't have workshop

Wish I could've done this sort of stuff!

keep us informed man!

[cliffdunedin 8]

Looks awesome and puts out good speed considering the extra weight.

Some boys at a school i used to teach at made something similar but i think they used a 125cc motorbike engine.

WOW !!

When I did metalwork at school, we made Keyrings, Fruit Bowl and a Coffee Table :blink:

Nothing as cool as this :ph34r:

More schools should be like yours - might keep students interested and keep them coming each day !!

[5amchris 45]

I think you would be surprised how many schools are like this now!

But i'm like you, only cool things we made were custom belt buckles and floppy disk cases

@ Chris...so when it's completed who get's too keep it? as i'm assuming a few people are building this.

[5amchris 45]

Its Sam and no its just myself that has built it.

Cost is just up around the $1000 mark with the motor all the steel the servos and controller [Has 2KM range]

not cheap but has been fun.

[cliffdunedin 8]

Sorry mate, already started replying and presumed username would have something to do with yours

I have only realised this is much smaller than i had originaly had thought, which is why i thought a few were building it...very cool though...you will have to youtube some vids when its done!!

Our school had an awesome metal room aswell, had all the gear. Then some a**hole burnt it down because he didnt want to do his assignment or some crap. I spent a whole year in the metal room.

Looks like a cool project.

Biggest regret at high school?

Taking calculus over hard tech and not being able to do this kind of stuff.

Haha me too! Mind you at my school I would have been making a belt buckle or a ring or something boring. And I needed calc for uni anyway.

So maybe not my biggest regret.

Looks like a badass project though! Would love to see vids on youtube when it's done

Can I have it? Admittedly I'd pull it apart and slap a dirty GSXR100 motor in it....then do skids.

Seriously cool project!!!!!

If you've got a spare GSXR100 i've always had dreams of making a kart that would lead to great injuries.

/thread cluttering

project looks great. Would you be able to get some more photos of the suspension? and how is the rear axle mounted?
