I do both, work for others and for myself but at the end I hope doing the same thing like you: building my own 1/1 AC Cobra.
So, at the end you're smarter then me :o

Is it a practice sanctified by tradition to rc builders, making his 1/1 car ?

I had start thinking about a homemade Lotus7 replica, 3 years ago but Its illegal to drive it on the road, in Greece so I stoped.

Thanks! Believe me, if you see this car running with his 8,5 HP electric watercooled engine, the 100db sound from the fantastic custom made sound module you never want a gas engine anymore! You can drive it any time, everywhere without the struggling of starting, the smell, the noise etc. And it is much cheaper than a 1/4 V8, it can run for hundreds of hours. I JUST LOVE ELECTRIC! Still a lot of things to do on this car but when it is ready I will make a nice vid.

Hi. First I used a Plettenberg Bolido with a Schulze ESC. Runs hard but expensive and no control. Now I use the 1/5 brushless set from Castle Creations. Great value for money and good control. The whole set up can be adjusted with a pc or laptop. On the photo the engine with his coolingjacket.

I use castle's speed control but I use a Steve Neu 2215 1.5y motor about 8 hp. Never thought about water cooling as it was built for drag racing. How are you pumping the water through the jacket. Geoff
