Another funny car project...

[rc garage berlin]

Some of you might remember. I bought a Luther V8 engine. It is huge and quite
difficult to make it fit in a quarterscale car. But now I think it will be suitable
for my new project. A little funny car project.

I don´t build it from scratch. I have some parts I will use.

-some rear tires
-a Pacesetter front axel
-an old Pacesetter frame
-a new V8 Luther engine
-a Silver Dollar

First I will cut out the frame to see if the engine fits...

Is there anyone who can sell or make two quarter scale aluminium tanks like these?
I remember there was a guy who offered it in this forum but I can not find it anymore...

In the fabricators forum look at Johns welding shop.

First test assembling before the frame gets powder coated.
Engine and tires fit under the old body which I want to keep
unrestored...

Hey RC Garage,
The project looks great!
BTW, what size tires and wheels are you using?

May the FORCE be with you.

I use in the rear: Bridgestone YDE 4.5/10.0-5 (front tires for karts).
In the front I use pacesetter tires and rims with a diameter of 4 inch.
For me it is important that the wheel fits the body.

Got the drive shaft today. It is huge. Hope the silver dollar will stand the force.
