Kyosho TR-15 Rally -or- Touring
by Rex ver 0.85
Hello everybody.. I have been working on drawing every part of my RC-CAR in AutoCAD for school. And I am pleased to show you my progress of acomplished work. Here are some quick renderings of what I have so far..
First rendering without assigning materials or lighting...
Second rendering at a diffrent angle... I missed couple of parts when mirroring from one side to the other..
Third rendering at another angle...
Rendering with materials and lighting without shadows...
My first nice rendering with materials and lighting with shadows...
Im trying to perfect my materials, but look at the front bumper. Like foam?
Nicer angle to see the guts.
An Autocad plot to png. Notice that you see both the body and inner guts..
A completed 3d dwf drawing.

Here are real pictures of my RC.. I did not have a digital camera so I had to take the pictures with a disposable camera.. That was a mistake, since I took close ups that came out blurry..
Side View The Subaru body was a bit larger than the chassy which made it smaller, but it still looks nice. It still does not have decals and such large manufacture logos.
Top View I custom made some of the parts using Autocad. Relocated the receiver, changed server orientation, replaced side splash pannels with 3/8" plastic. Replaced plastic server mounts with aluminum screw posts. Front bumper made of aluminum sheet with computer package foam, all duct taped together wich mounts to the front bulk head.

Suspension springs covered with a black balloon to protect from debris.

O.S .15 10e slide valve.
Futaba radio
Trinity battery.
MIP temp gauge.
Street Hot Shot I placed screws for the suspention adjustments and lowered the car and slapped street wheels on for an asfault track. Crossed refrenced with Kyosho and found clipless body posts. No more nasty clips to loose.

The rear bulk head had grooves and hole for mounting a sway bar. Look carefully and see my rear sway bar attached with Losi mounts.
Many hours spent designing parts surly opened my eyes to machinical engineering. Maybe post some of my own AutoCAD drawings.

I bought my $30 first computer after 5 years of using company loaned hardware. And spent long nights installing Winblows XP for the first time. Inventor 7 is now up and running along with AutoCAD 2004.. more to come!

Good news! I have a screenshot of an electric rc chassy. Completely from scratch!
