RC Widgets

A collection of photos of all the RC WiKKiD Widgets I have made over the years.

a 3D printed Air scoop for a RC vehicle.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0314.jpg]730Brush guard
Aluminum and steel brush guard. Made for some heavy duty RC off roading.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_frontski_frontview.jpg]880Dragboat I
The Front ski[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_frontski_sideview.jpg]800Dragboat II
Front ski from the side. The ski was made so it could articulate over any ripples in the water.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_frontview.jpg]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)[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_rearski_frontview.jpg]440Dragboat IV
A front view of one of the rear skis[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_rearski_sideview.jpg]380Dragboat V
Side view of the rear ski.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_dragboat_sideview.jpg]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!!) 🙂[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0301.jpg]340Mini super charger
This one operates more or less as a cold air intake. No moving parts.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-1.jpg]540Mini Trike I
An experimental RC Trike. [img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-2.jpg]450Mini Trike II
Although it was a fun design, I never got around to figuring it all out. [img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-3.jpg]370Mini Trike III
More or less this Trike was playing around with my CNC machine.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-4.jpg]460Mini Trike IV
I had bough some miniature servos for the steering.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-5.jpg]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.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-6.jpg]310Mini Trike VI
*alas* This is one of many RC concepts that will probably never be finished.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-forks-with-rim.jpg]280Mini Trike VII
The front forks I made for it. Although they look very nice, they were WAY too stiff to be really useful.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_bachoppa-forks.jpg]280Mini Trike VIII
Another view of the forks.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0317.jpg]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.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0313.jpg]340Outdrive Large
Close up of the larger outdrive I made.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0315.jpg]300Outdrive Medium
The medium Outdrive close up.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0312.jpg]350Pan Tilt
A miniature pan tilt rig.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_scalled-rudder-image.jpg]350Predator
Another Aluminum RC boat rudder. This one was inspired by the movie of the same name.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0307.jpg]510RC Boat Outdrives
3 different size outdrives for an RC boat. All of them tilt up and down.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0319.jpg]340RC Boat Rudder
A nice aluminum RC Boat Rudder.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0298.jpg]480RC Collection
Various RC Boat rudders and Widgets I have created[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_misc-widgets-iii.jpg]420Savage I
My HPI Savage with a Supercharger.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0260.jpg]230Spoiler I
An experimental Rear spoiler for perhaps a mini RC Dragster.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0305.jpg]190Spoiler II
Another view of the Spoiler.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0277.jpg]200Spotlight I
A Pan / Tilt spotlight for an RC vehicle.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0278.jpg]210Spotlight II
It has an very bright LED inside.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0279.jpg]220Spotlight III
The degree of movement makes it quite agile.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0280.jpg]170Spotlight IV
I had RC servos on it to check out the movement. [img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0252.jpg]240Super Charger I
A manual milling experiment. This is made from Aluminum and then powdercoated red.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_100_0255.jpg]240Super Charger II
The Blower belt actually rotates, but there is nothing on the inside.[img src=https://www.wikkidwidgets.com/wp-content/galleries/rc_gallery/thumbs/thumbs_rudder.jpg]300The Oracle
