Looks like the decals have to be ordered seperatly...
I have no idea how much they are
Once I have a good idea of how many to order, I'll get some details from the seller

cheers,

Put me down for one (1) 914 body.

Are there 2 different bodies available, a "regular" 914 and a 914-6GT/916? I couldn't find the two, just the one label "916".

New member here, but an old RC racer. I would like to join the bulk order for the 914 bodies. Any idea what scale car they fit? I would want to get 6 if I can. I am in the Los Angeles area.

Standard touring car chassis have a 256mm wheelbase and either 190 or 200mm width. This body was designed for a series of cars made by Tamiya called the M series (M-02L, M-03L, M-04L). They have 239mm wheelbases and between 170 and 180mm width.


Once we have one of those bodies we have one CMM'd and then scaled up to create a body for the standard touring car chassis...I'd also like to see a smaller body for the new Kyosho Mini-Z remote cars.

A non-GT flared version would be nice to have as well, but I do not believe those are availble from the same company.
These too could be made at the same time since the same data from the CMM could be used to create the non-GT flared body pattern.

I was involved in the approval of RC bodies for the US ruling body and know several of the companies in this area that pull the lexan bodies from the molds. Let me know if I can help.

Mike - look at one of my earlier posts about 1/24 scale slot car bodies. These may very well fit the Mini-Z cars which are 1/28 scale (but a 1/28 scale of a larger car might fit a 1/24 scale of a 914 since the 914 is a small car). Depends on wheelbase and track. They even have a flared and non-flared version (look for the pics).

There are a few of us here that can model up a body in any of the popular Solid-modeling programs...I just need a smaller version than my own life size car to get dimensions from. (my calipers only go to 12", LOL)


Do you know what format these companies work with?
Can they import electronic files to create the mold?

The cars are carved by hand as scale is not the issue. A mold is made and an epoxy is used to create the unit that will go onto the vacuum base. Holes are place in the buck so that the lexan will get sucked down when heated up. The molds cost about $500.00 each to create once the carving is done. The mold could be CNCed, do we know someone that can do that? It has to smooth as glass to obtain the finish needed.

hmmmm? I happen to have a CNC sitting idle in my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It needs a few hundred bucks worth of work to finish it up correctly....I've been too busy playing with the 1:1 914 right now........this weekend I hope to work on it for a few hours to get the backlash out of it

So is the buck wood? That would be perfect since my mill is not really suited for big heavy metal items...I have cut some aluminum and once I finish upgrading it, mild steel should be okay.

Wood and clay as I understand. Does someone have the tool to read in the current body and tweak it? That may be easier than starting from a clean sheet. Is someone getting a few of the bodies from Europe? If the wheel base is good, a section can be taken from the center to change the width.

Brad has a CMM....

It would be easier on a more modern CMM that would map out the outlines of the model....I think his only does point to point and referance.

A better solution would be to get a 3D laser scan of the body and then modify it to suit. Not sure how much that would cost or not. I do know for my small mill they sell a package that allows me to "trace" over a part using a special tip that goes back and forth over the object and gives you an electronic version of the object.

Perhaps you could use a plastic contruction kit body to get the measurements you need (or at least a first set that can then be refined)?

I have the Richie Ginther model and also the basic 914 2.0 model. Both are still in the box, pieces are all still attached to the plastic flash - not made up

we Need to start a poll on how many are buddy jeroen needs to order. the things weigh absolutely nothing...so shipping is pretty much just box dimension costs. Can the bodies be taken out of plastic bags and stacked on top of each other like plastic cups? then put in one box to the "us ditributor" to then be mailed to others? them the box charge would be more. 1 big box from jeroen to US. Bizillions of little boxes to the us recipients right? Im still down for one (*1*)
How much would estimated total cost be to socal?

we should have a custom painting contest or something. HEHE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The problem is that RC cars are not to scale on width vs lenght. It takes some art to make it look right. Do we know anyone that sculpts in clay? Back pouring bodies to get a base is also done at times.
