Wow, that came out awesome Paul and I really love the wheel inserts (inside joke because Paul sent me some too)! Now I need to get off my butt and get my P83 painted!

[Bill from NH]

Sharp looking car, Paul! Nice job.

[Dave Crevie]

Turned out good. I'd take it.

[Mark Onofri]

The wheels are FAR from fugly. Thanks, now,if I ever get out of 1/32 mode, I'll have a great reference for my BRM.

I've been playing with my new Resin printer and adding to my Blender skills (which aren't many  ) so I thought it would be fun to make these from scratch. They still could use some fine tuning and I really didn't like the fact that the real ones aren't polished( just plain old silver) but I got to a stopping point and will call these done. I'm thinking if any of you BRM fans want some I'll send some your way. PM me your address. Mark O are you listening? Get those F1 cars built!!

 

The inserts are sized to fit in a standard Russkit wheel which I didn't have on hand so I used some Russkit Lotus 40 insert as a sizing guide.

👍 I'll PM you

Pretty sure Shapeways no longer exsists.

Maybe the smart money would be an printed plastic motor adapter, to fit the Mini can motors to the original aluminum Dynamic motor mounts?

Any takers?

While not part of my "collection", I did build this for a friend in Australia.  I assume he still has it, but its based on Dynamic bits including those floppy front wheels.

 

 

 

 

 

Built in 2009. 

What is this body? And how does it look on bottm completed!?

I think what you are asking for is a adapter ring to allow a modern mini can motor to fit into a Dynamic 16D motor carrier which I think is part 546 it the attached Dynamic catalog. Unfortunately, a modern mini can is way shorter than a 16D and you would need to make up almost a 1/2" of space. It's also not as high hence would be a bit up in the air. But here is another option. I have already modeled a mini can motor carrier meant to be bonded to .063 piano wire. How about I instead adapt this to allow a Dynamic front chassis member to screw onto it?

Will it work? AWD dynamic

[Bill from NH]

Try it & see. My guess is yes, but it might not drive like you think it should. In the late '90s, a friend took a 4.5" Parma Flexi 2 chassis & mounted two S16 motors, one to drive the front wheels, one to drive the rears. He put a JK Volvo station wagon body on It. i got to drive that 4wd monster on the then 180' Engleman. I was surprised how well it drove. My friend played with it for about five years. He was the same friend who used Vaseline as a masking medium when painting bodies.

It’s kinda hard to tell till you put it on the track. I have a 4wd conversion womp and it surprisingly runs great and is very easy to drive ! I’ll be sure to have a set of back up low grip front tires as I feel that is the trick.

Larry: I think if you did this you would be able to sell quite a few of these here on SlotBlog and on eBay.

[Larry Horner]

Heya Jay,

 

I'm really more interested in just seeing what people come up with as the creativity here on slotblog never fails to amaze me! I think I will model up a mini can motor carrier that works with dynamic chassis pieces and then make the STL model available for whoever wants it. Supposedly the Shapeway's Marketplace is coming back and if it does, I will also post it up there too.

 

As a fun side note, the motor carrier I showed above was part of an endeavor to make a more performant AWD car.

a bolt on FK motor adapter would be pretty great. there is so many of these dynamic motor pods floating around but you don’t always want to burn up a old motor. in this thread you can see I’ve bolted in a lot of FK motors to both inline and sidewinder 26d pods. if you want them really sturdy they need a brace soldered to motor and then bolted to a threaded part of the chassis.
