The basic body dimensions are:
14cm long (plus engine comp), 11cm wide, 14cm high from rail level to top of roof.
The chassis is a cheap ip chassis/motor, the roof/engine compartment is carved balsa wood & the body is thin ply. The exhaust is a plastic drinking straw!
Some pics.....

Nothing happened recently :roll:
But this is still happening, drawing up some plans, then sorting out a chassis/buy one.
Any ideas for a name of this one? :D
Thanks

Hi chaps

Maybe thread necromancy I know, and pardon me for so - but what is it about 'Bluebottle'? The ijoke, the theme, the whatever - must admit I'm rather lost. :s
