RC 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 1/24 Scale Project Full Build + Test Drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Full RC model conversion build featuring one of the most powerful and iconic muscle cars of the 60s/70s, a 1970 Chevelle SS. The Revell 3in1 kit used for this project contained a great looking body and plenty of extra parts, while the Make It RC FFR SC1 chassis provided a great base. With a goal to build a simple car that balances scale realism with high performance, the result turned out great and I’m very excited to have the opportunity to share the build process with the community. This video will cover every step of the build from unboxing to the first test drive. Whether you’re a builder looking for inspiration or just a casual viewer, I hope you all enjoy watching as much as enjoyed making this video!

    Just an idea. If you want more traction for on hard surfaces you could print the tires undersized and dip them in plasti dip tool handle coating. One or two layers are relatively thin but will provide a good bit of grip.

    Not sure what tape you use, but ditch the crap stuff or tapes that are used for cars etc. Go with Tamiya tape. It’s not cheap, but it’s just the best at doing this sort of thing. Usually little or no bleed.

    When spraying two tone paintjobs, you can spray the colour under the masking over the masking tape. That'll prevent the next layer of paint from going under the tape by sealing the edge. So for this you could have sprayed some clear coat on the masking, then sprayed the black over it when it was dry. Nice video. :-)

    are there still plans to get an actual differential into these axles? And maybe make larger ones to fit the 1/24 semi truck kits on the market?

    Functioning differentials have been built but are not reliable to the point of something we'd want to sell yet. Still have some bugs to work out. Larger semi truck axle would be cool. No plans for that at this time but maybe someday.

    The car looks amazing, but I have one question: how does the plastic parts fare against the heat produced by the motor?

    Thank you. I've never had issues with the little N20 motors, though the larger motors can produce a lot of heat. With the bigger motors I monitor the heat and ensure the plastic is holding up both on the chassis and the car's hood.

    Other than the car model kit, are the rest of the parts available?
