Finished May 2014:

 

 

Here's where it all started:

John "Bud" Greene, master modeler and slot racer, painted me this Toytech Bat body.

Planning phase coming soon... anglewinder... bat pans... gear-stripping powerful motor...

[Gator Bob]

That! .... Will be cool

[SlotStox#53]

Holy Bat Do Do Batman Can't wait Pablo

 

"Bat pans" this car just had to have a chassis with Bat Pans

 

A Pablo built gear stripping motor........... This is gonna be one car certainly fit for the Caped Crusader !!

[olescratch]

What scale is it? John

[Pablo]

1/24.

 You might have to give Bud two cookies

Found an arm on Ebay to produce the aforementioned "gear stripping powerful motor"       

[SlotStox#53]

Aha! Had a feeling a Blogger snagged John's C can arm! & it was You!


Nice arm for a serious motor .

Now we know why Pablo told John he was glad it hadn't been arm-dyed. <LOL>

it all becomes clear !

A HA!  So Pablo has a project for this baby!  I'm pretty sure that, between his chassis and motor build and the arm, Batman will get to the crime scene PDQ!

Here is my rough plan for my Owl Chump style bat pan anglewinder Batmobile:

Can drive motor, .513 OD 26 turns of 26 wire "H" arm, Mura can / endbell with BB's, airgap 20 thou, modern "C" magnets, shunts and buss bars.

3/32 axles front and rear, 64 pitch metal gears 9/45, rear wheels .875 OD by approx .700 wide, fronts .8125 OD by approx .400 wide.

Wheelbase is 5.125"   Width is 3.250"

What do y'all think ? As always, if I'm out of whack, please tell me

[Jairus]

Yes, but please carry on anyway.

[Bud Greene]

Tighten up Pablo can't wait to see it

[havlicek]

Hi Pablo...izzit possible to go full sidewinder with those specs?  So few sidewinders get built, I think it might be kewl.

Hi Jairus and Bud

John I've been wondering the exact same thing, and I can hardly wait to see how it all lines up.

If it will go full sidewinder, that's what it will be.  BUT I suspect it will be very similar to the Owl Chump car;

in other words a small angle, not full sidewinder.

Must finish this marathon workweek before I can play with it.

[SlotStox#53]

Sounds a pretty perfect combination of parts & plan Pablo   The sidewinder idea is kewl ,remember Jairus building a sidewinder & having fun with clearancing the endbell/brush hardware but got it to work. Look forward to seeing the caped crusaders ride all ready to punch the banking

[Jairus]

It worked very well actually. Was a bit of a challenge clearing the rear brush/spring assembly!

Car ran like stink around the track and I loved how it handled. Much like a modern flexi chassis.  
But you can get that with a shallow angle, less work and better clearances.

[SlotStox#53]

Remember you saying it was a fast car !  That had the  Porsche 908 body didn't it  Jairus?

[Pablo]

Here is the link to Jairus' sidewinder:

After re-reading Jairus' Ed Lewis thread, looks like my Batmobile will be an anglewinder for sure

 

Paul E. check out post # 37 for spoiler and diaplane info.

[SlotStox#53]

Thanks Pablo downloaded & will read later at home. this is going to be one slick anglewinder

[MrWeiler]

Hi! What are the little square pieces on the front axle tube?

Hi! What are the little square pieces on the front axle tube?

Looks more like the piano wire front uprights were bent at a right angle on each side of the axle tube & tied for strength...

[Jairus]

Mike, Jim is correct. And it would be better if you examined the full thread on the build up. (I think Paul provided a link in post#20)

[Bill from NH]

You could also look at the Philip Niyazi build on scratchbuilt.com or the June 1970 issue of Car Model magazine.
