a 3D printed Air scoop for a RC vehicle.730Brush guard
Aluminum and steel brush guard. Made for some heavy duty RC off roading.880Dragboat I
The Front ski800Dragboat II
Front ski from the side. The ski was made so it could articulate over any ripples in the water.960Dragboat III
This was a very early conceptual RC boat. This made made way before I had my shop. 100% of it was made with hand tools. Needless to say it took ages to make. (Like a little over a year)440Dragboat IV
A front view of one of the rear skis380Dragboat V
Side view of the rear ski.370Dragboat VI
Side view of the Drag boat. It was made entirely of wood. this never saw any action in the water other than float tests. (Yes, it floated!!) 🙂340Mini super charger
This one operates more or less as a cold air intake. No moving parts.540Mini Trike I
An experimental RC Trike. 450Mini Trike II
Although it was a fun design, I never got around to figuring it all out. 370Mini Trike III
More or less this Trike was playing around with my CNC machine.460Mini Trike IV
I had bough some miniature servos for the steering.360Mini Trike V
I still have this in a box somewhere. If someone drifts by looking at these pictures and thinks they have what it takes to finish it, send me a note! We can make a deal.310Mini Trike VI
*alas* This is one of many RC concepts that will probably never be finished.280Mini Trike VII
The front forks I made for it. Although they look very nice, they were WAY too stiff to be really useful.280Mini Trike VIII
Another view of the forks.430Nosferatu
This is a dual rudder system for a large scale RC boat. All the pivot points are ball bearinged. (Is that how you say that?) The two blades are connected internally so if you move one, the other follows at the exact same angle.340Outdrive Large
Close up of the larger outdrive I made.300Outdrive Medium
The medium Outdrive close up.350Pan Tilt
A miniature pan tilt rig.350Predator
Another Aluminum RC boat rudder. This one was inspired by the movie of the same name.510RC Boat Outdrives

Another view of the Spoiler.200Spotlight I
A Pan / Tilt spotlight for an RC vehicle.210Spotlight II
It has an very bright LED inside.220Spotlight III
The degree of movement makes it quite agile.170Spotlight IV
I had RC servos on it to check out the movement. 240Super Charger I
A manual milling experiment. This is made from Aluminum and then powdercoated red.240Super Charger II
The Blower belt actually rotates, but there is nothing on the inside.300The Oracle
