not, i think the "miker" was the only one with front wheel drive, this one has front engine and next model are going to have rear engine, so basically a nice mix

Superb! I love a bit of low powered RWD fun

 

[Gevatter]

next model

I like the sound of that.

Will keep you guys posted when I get some time to make more progress on it. Being there are no blueprints of this, and every car is built different, I'm putting together everything based on pictures of the different models I've gathered around the web and some drawings.

But... I haven't started the physics yet.

Well, since there aren't any official measurements out there, I'll have to put the model together first to know where everything goes anyway, so, we don't have a test mule this time.

 

[aphidgod]

It's going to be an interesting project. We didn't have much for the Mitter, even less for this one. I'm presuming the idea is to balance them for the sake of the grid, so at least I have a target.

 

[A3DR]

Small progress on this one, got most of the engine bay details done, at least what could be visible through the gaps when damaging the front panels.

@A3DR Call yourself a modeller? Those wheels are far too small.

 

[aphidgod]

This one ran in the short-lived Rail Racing League. They tried using abandoned rail lines as tracks. There was marginally more overtaking than in F1 but it still never caught on.

 

[A3DR]

LOL yeah even with wheels on, they're quite small

 

[GTAce]

Everything from you is outstanding.

 

[bsmooth]

Any current updates ?

 

[A3DR]

Any current updates ?

Nothing to report yet, but next step is doing the wheels, and then work on the cockpit.

 

[A3DR]

Finally got some time to spend on this one, did the wheels and some more suspension details, brake lines, etc. so got the front end done at least, wheels properly placed and sized, leaving time to focus on the cockpit next.

Sorry for the rushed screenshots, didn't want to waste time setting up the render scene.

When it's in a state that you can at least get it into CM showroom, send it along and I'll start working on the geometry. I'm sorting out some updates to the Miker right now so I ought to be in a Formula Jr. mode for the next week or two.
