This guy built a 1/8 scale model of a Ferrari 312 PB - FROM SCRATCH! Every single part on the car was designed and fabricated by him. It took 3 years just to do the drawings/design work and another 12 to build this fully functioning, absolutely amazing project. IMHO, this sets the bar when it comes to dedication and attention to detail and I'm fairly certain you'll agree!
Incredible...

100cc flat 12.... Probably makes a ton more HP than our 150cc scooters! and sounds awesome! It makes the "Ferrari Music".

Unbelievable ability! (talk about mechanical aptitude) But I think if he sells it, it will break his heart.
BTW, I wonder if he had to make miniature fuel to run it?

There had to have been times during the build process that he had to stop and build the machine needed to fabricate a particular part due to the lack of an existing one that could do it due to the size demands. Now, THAT'S overcoming obstacles! For me personally, the finished product would almost be a disappointment due to the fact that it will never be able to be driven - by me or anybody else... not even as an RC car.  Also, given its super light weight compared to the unreal performance ratio, you have to believe the thing would be capable of ridiculous speeds!  BTW, I wonder if he had to make miniature fuel to run it?  ;D  |

[replyingto=jrnyman]jrnyman[/replyingto]I don't know about that. If I had it ,I would attempt to put RC actuators in it. Shifting would certainly be a challenge. I'm shocked that with his talents, he hasn't already done it

I think he said he had to make everything himself, including molds for parts because he had no money
