I've started my 1/4 scale dragster
Re: I've started my 1/4 scale dragster
Hi, I have my body theme for the dragster.I've had it for awhile. I'am starting the form for the body tomorrow.Again it's the Avro Arrow. Same paint scheme,I haven't decided on the number yet. It will have a enclosed canopy that will open and the air intakes on the side. The design for the rear deflectors will have the delta wing alog the bottom. If some of you are not sure or don't know what it looks like,here's are 2 videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEeaomG32Dc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39hhkVRPi4g&NR=1.

Front axle
New rims came today. Mounted on Bob's hubs.
I made the steering wheel and mount for the steering servo.
I made the front plate on the Raco gearbox using a Raco front hub and the driveshaft.Then polished the aluminum.
