1/28th Custom CF Radline

Part 1
Ok well I started out with two of these little buggers. One of them being the Target “Toy” one and one being the “Hobby grade” one sold at towerhobbies

Well on with the pics, as far as the CF chassis, it was a spare from an Extended Wheel base mid engine micro T project.







Some mock ups




Coming together



A Few more from last night


The front was a pain to mount, the nuts in which I used to hold the rear down where too large to fit in the front. So I just screwed the screws in then laid down a nice coat of CA glue on the screws and around the edges of the front clip. The front and rear is aligned very nice, I was happy about that. As far as being ridged the chassis most def is. How ever the stock plastic parts still do flex a bit. Depending upon space, I think im going to add some type of brace between the two shock towers, sort of like a Mini quake design.

I plan on using hobby grad electronics, might add some time to the build due to loot, or I just my rape one of my MRS4’s, not sure. But I think I will def have enough room for all the electronics, the battery I might just Velcro on top of the motor or something,

I still have to work mounting the servo, but I think I got that worked out also.

Part 2
just got to work out the servo and what not

she will be running on 7.4v 800mah 2 cell lipo velcorwed on top of the mottor, the stock lid will still close using the stock body post at stock level i test fited it


Part 3
on with some pics









i will get videos shortly

Hey btw I just finished a aluminum motor mount, just want to test it tomorrow and make a nice aluminum bumber. I also want to find a faster motor. You give me competition!

Also if you could find some batteries that would fit on the bottom of the chasis to reduce CG it would ride a lot better, the NIMH I have right now are way to heavy and even with the batts located low it still flips!

Radline's lookin sik bro!!

n im gonna hopefully be getting one of these little guys within the next couple weeks and i was wondering what you guys thought are the best upgrades are for these?

Looks great Joey!

Yet again, another well done project!

Better motor and lots of spur gears, as well as a small spacer to shim the diff.
