Apparently, there are some feelings of inadequacy out there
 

I'm not sure what emotional void these things fill, but they all were big crowd-pleasers at this year's SEMA show.

Beleive me, I set it down very gently.

Its no secret, its the prototype of the Lightning Chassis, since dicontinuted. billet machined 7075 T6. Worth a couple hundred bucks to the right buyer. Very tough, could drive an SUV over it.

Its for an RC car.

This is my production chassis. I took the above picture for selling the protoype. Owner has been wanting to sell it for some time. I found a buyer and took the pictures.

Er - pardon , no comprendo - quesque c'est?

And how big is it anyway?

Oh, and whats it for?

It's an aluminium Remote Control (RC) Car.
Looking at the pic it has twin electric engines, double rear shocks, single front, aluminium arms, towers, bumpers and everything else.
The flat areas on either side of the first photo with the ribs would be where the batteries live.
Quite long arms so I'm guessing a monster truck and it would be very tough to break.
looks a little large for 1/10th scale so I'll guess 1/8th

correction, the twin shocks look like they are on the front.

I was testing jsut two in the back at the time. Went back to 4 all around. Its a 1/0th monster truck. I run it on 14 Sub C cells. Good for at least 300 watts of output from the motors. Peak discharge on the packs while running though is more in the 500-700watt range, but with the ineefeciency I don't think its quite putting t hat much power to the ground(768 watts is one HP).

Look at the picture with the red car to see my truck with body and wheels. Diferent chassis in the picture though. If you want a few more pictures of these beasts, check out the gallery at www.unlimitedengineering.com

My recent biz trip.

It may be 250 miles from home but this is where I'm taking my dog from now on.;)

Re: From a recent trip to Europe...
 

I don't mean to be a d*ck, but these photos are from your recent trip to the United Kindom not Europe. Just wanted you to know as it might upset a few people from the places that you took those photos.

Except for Mallorca, you can call that Europe!

I dont mean to upset anyone either - but he seems to have forgotten that the UK IS IN EUROPE!

DOH!

So you DID visit Europe - a full list of the countries can be found by searching Google for "members of the European community".

We always thought it was Americans who didn't know geography!
