conley is back!

Wow! You gotta look carefully to see which car it is in the photos. This is going to be a BIG hit if you take it over to the John Force Holiday car show in December, little Cobra sitting on top of the BIG cobra!

You have done something that I've only HEARD many other hobbyists say they were going to do... build a Q-Scale replica of their real car. One of the ULTIMATE RC hobby achievements?

But you actually DID it, and built BOTH cars, as a bonus! Incredible!!!!

[Mike Casey]

Thanks for the kind comments mike. The build has been a dream come true. Fantastic experience and its amazing how motivated we have stayed. There is a ton of support with local cobra owners. I cant believe we did not do this before!

Here is a nice vid of yesterday. Just a short cruise. First one with the body on. Kept a smile on my face all day!!!

[Bobby Dodger]

Lot o' bleeding stop signs around there! Sweet car though, I was itching to get my hands on it. Good on ya

Cheers

Yea, and we live where there is NO traffic as you can see, but the stay at home left winger moms dont have a hobby, so they just get stop signs put in everywhere. Its really starting to fry my ass!

Great video Mike.Is the Cobra finished or is there still some parts you need.

[Mike Casey]

still needs a ton of work. Lots of detail work and also some setup. I am ordering a 4 post lift for the garage so we are getting it ready in there. This thing is going to be a beast. It will be capable of 0-60 in 3.5 seconds or less. I need to make sure its safe before i take it out for a real spin LOL.

Mike: What a great day ..... + the exhaust note ...... pure magic!

[Mike Casey]

couple current pics of progress! Note the carbon fiber quick jacks.

[Mike Casey]

Every day, it just gets better and better I have been working on tuning it. I raised the tail of the trans and have worked the carbs and timing a bit. Getting to 60mph in second gear VERY fast. In the high 3 second range. WOW!

[Mike Casey]

what kinda ass backwards person would want the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car?!?! Your a sick man.

[Mike Casey]

weber carbs and they are AMAZING! every person that comes by comments how wicked the engine is. We over spent by 10k on it, but worth every penny.

[Mike Casey]

you people are very, very sick people. LOL I love it!!

I will give rides but nobody drives my baby!

[Mike Casey]

still working on the dream. getting all the detail work done. We did a lot on the front end, getting the wiring done along with the panels for the radiator and installed the oil cooler. Oh yea, sorted the side pipes out a bit and got the splash gaurds done in the front. Cant wait to get this on the street!!!
