***3D RC car Project - pics***

[supernitro_guy1]

one more

[supernitro_guy1]

more and more

[redhatman]

looks good!

[supernitro_guy1]

thanks, will probably do more little details tomorrow, and maybe even a body

[supernitro_guy1]

oh yeah, the engine needs a head, lol, how the heck could I forget, its 2:13 am, I think I better go to sleep.

[TRF Drive Hard]

Ya know, i been following this thread for quite some time... i have to admit, damn, that car is coming along very nicely!

[supernitro_guy1]

thanks man, its hard to find time to work on it these days, 11th grade, 4 honors classes, basketball, ahh no time....

[supernitro_guy1]

here is a little something i worked on yesterday, some rims that i wish i could put on my 98 mustang. :D :D

[redhatman]

looks nice, but arent those spokes a little to thin to be holding up a 1:1 car?

[supernitro_guy1]

yeah, maybe, i was trying to put my spin on the Saleen Rims, lol, guess I need some adjustments

[G10products]

You mentioned 11th grade. How did you get this program then?
Also have you cut anything out yet? I just found this thread and was curious.

[redhatman]

You mentioned 11th grade. How did you get this program then?

are 11th graders not allowed to get this program??

[ofnaravager9]

I was bored and just thought of it, lol.
YO if something had that many motors, that would be so fast!!!! OMG
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
o BTW im talkin bout the pic in the tenth post on this thread

[supernitro_guy1]

i know what your talking about, lol its great stuff. Ive never actually cut anything out, I just draft it or draw it. I got it as a student edition from a school engineering program I did.

[ofnaravager9]

i think thats amazing....

BAM

new project!!!
8 motor touring!!!!!

heck yea!!!
lol
-luke

[ofnaravager9]

BTW im thinkin about makin my own rc company wen i grow up
(lol im only 12)
itll be great, and good paying!!!!!
i already designed 127 different monster trucks!!!!
ill post pics
-luke

[supernitro_guy1]

i'd love to see some of those. I would love to work as a designer for a major rc company, or even an up-and-coming company. Hint Hint....

[redhatman]

man, someone needs to tutor me at this stuff. I tried making several things with guides and didnt complete them. I was using 3ds max though, i heard its harder than autocad.

[Legend_Car]

this is awesome. I want to CAD too. I downloaded a free 30 day trial of autocad 06, but i dont see how to make an r/c out of it. Can someone point me to a demo of solidworks or inventor

[supernitro_guy1]

i dont know about inventor demos. but yeah, 3ds max is the hardest cad program to learn out there, trust me.

[jag09]

im a freshman and at my school we have been sponsored by project led the way.the price of autodesk inventor 8 is around $800 now.ive been working on a drag car during the free time we have

[ofnaravager9]

cool id like to see some pics!!!
-luke

[aqualato1]

Supernitro guy you definetly need to start talking to rc car makers cuz you have got some awsome ideas! You could probably make a fortune if you sell your designs. I Just read/looked through this whole thread *tired*.

[jag09]

do you guys have invetor at home?if so how did u get it?

[supernitro_guy1]

yeah, we are part of PLTW's program at our school too.

[jag09]

kewl.like every once in awhile people come in and observe us.right now were doing the train tutorial as a final project jus b/c we wont have enough time for anything else.do you have inventor at home?

[supernitro_guy1]

yeah, i got it from the PLTW engineering program, it doesnt have all the features we have at school though, but you see what I can do with what I have, so its great

[jag09]

man i really wish i could get inventor on my home pc somehow.i would have a dragster done by now and a couple more designs for my jato chassis done

[jxdxwx]

im a freshman and at my school we have been sponsored by project led the way.the price of autodesk inventor 8 is around $800 now.ive been working on a drag car during the free time we have

If you can find Inventor for $800 ya better buy it fast.
Program is $5,500.00 easy.
Lucked out and bought my personal copy for $600 on ebay.

You can get the student edition CD taped in the back of tutorial books at your local computer store.
Be sure you are getting the right thing before you buy it, the books are $50-$75 and no refund if you open the CD.

[jag09]

my teacher said inventor 8 was $800 right now.whats the student edition?cant you download a the program to a flashdrive or a dvd?

[supernitro_guy1]

yeah, its about 5,500 for inventor 9 now, inventor eight its probably a little cheaper. i could put it in a dvd of flash drive, illegally, id rather not, plus you need to register and stuff, so it probably wouldnt work for ya, but yeah, studetn editions come with tutorials and its easier to get started.

[jag09]

im tryin to talk my teacher into letting me take it home for this project.has anyone figured out how to make a shock compress?

[supernitro_guy1]

hmmm, tricky one, maybe JXD can help us becuse ive tried everyting and never got one to compress, i would love to know too.

[jag09]

well im doing my complete shock from my jato as my final project and it must drive.im gona make it compress or im gona compress the computer.lol.

[supernitro_guy1]

to tell you the truth, i dont even know if its possible to compress it...

[jag09]

o my gosh.i gotta figure it out by friday b/c this is our last project and it due this friday then finals all next week.i think im gona put pivots on the ball joints and see if it'll work then

[RS4rally1124]

dude sng clear some pm's

and lmk how its comin.... i really really wna tone of these cars and am prepared to start making one.... ill pm with u... great progress

JT

[supernitro_guy1]

lol, I cleared them out, sorry bout that dude!

[ofnaravager9]

btw all my designs are from microsoft word, and (lol) dont look as awesum and they are external pics, im hoping to get inventor so theyd look better....

hope these pics work !!!!!

[supernitro_guy1]

microsoft word? huh, i cant see the pics pal

[ofnaravager9]

ugh srry i still not sure how to put them on..... any help lol

i dun have anything to get inventor with, but im trying lol

[sk8ncr8]

wow, wow, wow, thats incredible Matt, makes me want to continue learning the program, I have quite a few parts made on my nitro engine made already, I'll post the finished carburator after i finish the Slide Valve, like 10 more minutes I'll post the carb, thanks for the advice Matt, thanks for the comments guys.

If you guys think Inventor is cool You should try solidworks...

[supernitro_guy1]

I also have solidworks, and im not impressed at all.

[supernitro_guy1]

here is a rim I just made, sorry for lack of pics and projects latele... (VIRUS on my COmp.)

[jebus your fate]

wow! i love them :eek: you should see if you can get them machined and then give me some :D

[RS4rally1124]

lol they would be awsome for bling but thats about it im thinkin... awsome designs man... i want a real 1:1 pair for my 944... thems are sweet

JT

[hilly]

Anybody use/used turboCAD 3D? I wanna draw out a design I have in mind for a 4wd electric 1/10th off road buggy...Its hard work!! Don't suppose there are any parts librarys for things like shocks and such things? Did you guys draw everything from scratch? Awesome designs btw!

[ofnaravager9]

wow! i love them :eek: you should see if you can get them machined and then give me some :D

lol make diff sizes and slap em on a serpent 960!!!

[supernitro_guy1]

lol.....i made everything from scratch, yeap.

[ofnaravager9]

nice

[justinspankey]

man i just read the whole thread and man thats impressive stuff would be sweet to see some of those designs come to production and that body is a work of art. if i would be able to come up with a quarter of the stuff you do i would be impressed with myself. looks like hour and hours of work when into someof the stuff you came up with.
Justin Clarke

[Saboteur]

SN Guy- Great to see that you're improving with CAD/AutoDesk. I'm going to a better school to finish up in that program...as it's part of Mechanical Engineering field.

[supernitro_guy1]

its incredible, now Im to the point i can make ANYTHING on inventor, pretty much got it all figured out, or at least I think.....

And thanks for the compliments justin, yes, some of those took hours and hours, and this thread will probably be very well alive during this summer as i'll have more than my share of free time, you might be seeing some new things and ideas you've never seen before in an RC, i have some cool stuff in my head, but we'll see, school is over in like 3 more weeks though.

John

[Out Of Control]

Hey,

I love what you guys do, i bought a small CAD program, and am teaching myself how to use it, and i am starting so make a T-maxx Chassis, and after that i will go nto the rest of the truck, but i am not nearley as good as you guys.

Ok, i got this TurboCAD Deluxe(not recomended, you cant add textures, and you cant round out edges of 3D objects) but anywayse, i just got this program yesterday, and was up almost all night making this and teaching myself how to use it, its not done, but i am excited aout my little work, any comments would be cool

I guss its not really that good, but its a start

[supernitro_guy1]

Are you serious? thats incredible for what the program can do, from what you say, you are a very fast learner, and I would like to see what it turns out like, keep us updated!!! thats cool.

BTW, Ive now learned how to use photoshop and Coreldraw, so Im expanding my "design" program expertice :)

J

[Out Of Control]

Cool, thanks for the compliments, yea, and i really want to learn it i will fast, but when it comes to school its like i cant learn it for my life, and i will post more pictures later

Thanks

[supernitro_guy1]

how is it coming along?

[supernitro_guy1]

i need to put something new on here dont I? im gonna find something and post it..

[B4 Stealth]

thats looks very tight, clean and neat.


now 5 grand for a program IMO is plain rediculous, take zmodeler for an example, its a free program and you can do exactly that, model stuff with virtual mesh, enlighten me on what else this 5 grand program can do, cause to be honest, for that much it better pour me a drink as well :D


I am not sure it is worth 5 gran, but my school has it and it is by far the best cad program I have ever used, bar none.

[Smib]

Well, I've used a few CAD programs, and trust me, some are much better than others. I was using AutoCAD 2006 last, but after seeing how much more capable Inventor is, I decided to get it. I'm currently purchasing it at 98kb/s, so it's gonna be a while, but that's ok, I don;t have much time to play anyway.

[supernitro_guy1]

Far From Rc cars, but some things i worked on

[supernitro_guy1]

More

[supernitro_guy1]

another view. it needs some color

[supernitro_guy1]

here ya Go!

[B4 Stealth]

something i did with inventor 9 pro..my school supplies it...im on the robotics team


for FIRST?? what team# 1014 rulz. :D

sorry couldn't resist.

[seanmanibog]

SUPERNITRO. I have a newfound respect for you and that would be you are officially my idol. I really really really really really am trying to find a good CAD program that I could use to design things. [Pretty much RC's] Could you please help me find a somewhat cheap program [maybe under 600 bucks?] that would work?? Thanks!!! PM me with info

[supernitro_guy1]

Wow, thanks alot fot that, and I will certainly look into it, and let you know if i find anything. im sure this inventor 8 thT im using has declined in price big time because at school we are using inventor 11 already, so you might wanna check ebay and see if you find anything, but i wil certainly ask around and see if i know of any quality programs.

[seanmanibog]

No problem you definitely deserve it. That means alot to me that you are going to try and find a good program so thanks a ton.

[Smib]

You didn't hear it from me, but you might want to check the torrents. Of course I wasn't paying attention and got one in Czech, so I'm out of luck for the time being.

[supernitro_guy1]

Here is something i started working on today. Im not sure what to make of it, but it is only an idea for a chassis, I will keep you guys updated, so check it out!!!

J

[seanmanibog]

Interesting!!! Thanks to this thread I've found some really cool CAD programs. I bought the one they used to make Spider-Man two. Its really neat! I am getting good.

[supernitro_guy1]

here is an update, I wanna do something that IVE never seen before, just do things differently i guess, something new, i have some really cool ideas that i dont think We've seen in our RC's and im looking at how i can implement some of these into this particular design.

[seanmanibog]

Supernitro, wanna lend 5,000 dollars? I Promise ill make cool stuff for you to look at. lol. by the way, what are the yellow boxes and what are they for?

[supernitro_guy1]

Those are work planes used to create drawings and later on features, its just a drawing board when you think about it

[seanmanibog]

awsome. I wish I could get all the nice curves and such... =/. I guess I better save my pennies.

[R_C_hoodlum]

Wow that's nuts! :eek: And I thought the Adobe Creative Suite package was expensive ($600-$800) but compared to a $5k computer program that's pocket change :p

[Bad LS1]

wow I just saw this thread and it's 15 pages! LOL

I'm about to upgrade our department to Inventor 11. I've been using it to design subsea drilling equipment since it first came out. Before that was AutoCAD and Pro E.

[seanmanibog]

Err can you upgrade me to Inventor 11. lol.

[savageP3]

makes me want to start using inventor again! i built a whole truck (not RC) one time without assembly just for fun. boy was that a pain.

[Bad LS1]

Err can you upgrade me to Inventor 11. lol.


I wish! I haven't aquired a copy for myself yet. :D I forget what version I have at home. I think it's 9 or 10.

[Bad LS1]

Here's a little something I'm working on....

http://picsorban.com/upload/mux.jpg

[seanmanibog]

eh, well your still way better off im using a 20 dollar program.

[supernitro_guy1]

thats extemely well done BAD LS1.. did you do it using the sheet metal feature? well done, well done, im very impressed by the amount of detail. amazing,

[supernitro_guy1]

Well, i was gonna make it Electric, but decided to go Nitro on this one, Umm probably an offroad, here is the process with a "mock up" engine and a tire LOL

[seanmanibog]

Supernitro, im using a program called "blender".. ever heard of it? Also that looks very.. interesting lol

[supernitro_guy1]

lol, it looks a mess right now, but no, never heard of blender. post some stuff i fyou done any, i wanna see it.

j

[Bad LS1]

thats extemely well done BAD LS1.. did you do it using the sheet metal feature? well done, well done, im very impressed by the amount of detail. amazing,


yeah I used the sheet metal feature on a few components. All our components are manufactured from the models so we have to be extremely detailed. Oh and thanks. :D I should dig up some of the other stuff I've done.

[supernitro_guy1]

i would love to see more of your work

[Tbizz]

Inventor is an engineering program rather than artistic, or 3d modeling for characters and such.

Either way...I'm impressed! How long did those take?

[Error404]

Any more updates? Supernitro and Bad LS1 have amazing work!

[associatedude92]

Can TurboCAD 3D do the same thing you are? I'm kinda wanting to get into design cars and R/C for a career, and think I should start now, lol.

[Bad LS1]

Any more updates? Supernitro and Bad LS1 have amazing work!


I'll do a screen cap. when I get to work tomorrow of some other stuff I'm doing. :D

[Error404]

I'll do a screen cap. when I get to work tomorrow of some other stuff I'm doing. :D
Sweet!

I got Inventor 10 from my teacher at school, they had a few extra licenses for 10, so I'm messing with it :D

Looks like it can.

[supernitro_guy1]

heres an update, not much done, im sorry, time is killin me right now. Ill update soon again when I get more time.

ok i cant look anymore i hate my gay programs =[

[Bad LS1]

Inventor is an engineering program rather than artistic, or 3d modeling for characters and such.

Either way...I'm impressed! How long did those take?

it takes weeks of 9-10 hour days. Most of the work is in the design, modeling it is the easy part. :D

just to show you some detail, in that pic of the pod you can see all the valves mounted to the sides. Here is a cut away of one of the valves. You can see all the springs, o-rings, and internals are fully detailed.

[supernitro_guy1]

Oh my lord, thats just too cool, I see the great amount of work that went into that thing, its just owesome

[Losi Stealth]

Is anyone in this thread familiar with UGNX-3? I'm working on a project that could benifit from gears or pulleys and I can't seem to get them to work in assemblies and our Human Electric Hybrid doesn't really have an opperational drivetrain without them.

A good site with tutorials or something would be plenty, I've done some searching on google and don't really know what to look for. "NX 3 Gears" doesn't really do it.

[jxdxwx]

Oh my lord, thats just too cool, I see the great amount of work that went into that thing, its just owesome

SN Guy,
Been a long time since I have been on the site.
Whats the latest ???
Did you ever get any designs finished or parts made ?
Graduate and get a job in engineering or what ?
Post more pics of your work.
JX

[supernitro_guy1]

hey guys, Ive been busy in college and my autodesk inventor doesnt work on my laptop (not Vista compatible) so I really dont have any ways of working unless im at home such as now, Il be home all week and hopefully will work on some things Ive been drawing while bored in engineering class.

[RS4rally1124]

awesome to see this thread back.
