jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I can´t sleep and I was tired of trials, tractors and heavy machinery so I returned to cars. This night I started to build this and everything was so good and fast that I can´t believe. It has a 7 speed gearbox with reverse and suspension. I don´t know if I will use power functions maybe not, I want something fast and easy. I know who are people that will recognize the car model... Sheepo don´t shoot so fast this time let me play a little . If everything is so fast that this night the car will be finish soon . I hope you like. Quote
efferman Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 my first thought on the first picture was: caterham super 7 will it be something like this? Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) No... caterham super 7 has a 6 speed gearbox but is a nice car, it will have bodyframe and won´t be a roadster. Edited February 18, 2012 by jorgeopesi Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Bugatti Veyron ? Looks good so far Quote
timslegos Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Looks really good so far. I love it when projects come together. tim Quote
Sheepo Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 [...] Sheepo don´t shoot so fast this time let me play a little [...] Ok, I will be a good boy... :devil: If I am not mistaken today only exist one car with 7 speeds manual gearbox... but this moc can not be that because the gearbox position are not correct... Ignoring the gearbox type, and looking the gearbox shifter position, it has front engine, and also probably rear wheel drive because I don't see the gearbox connected to front wheels. With this configutation I know a lot of cars, and I can't choose one... with more info and pictures maybe... Quote
Paul Boratko Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Doesn't the new 911 have a 7 speed...? This one looks a little long to be that though... I've been hearing rumors from Chevy of a 7 Speed coming to the Corvette, but that hasn't happened yet... I think Mercedes has a 7 Speed transmission, but I don't think it is a Manual... BMW may also make a 7 speed, but that may be paddle shifting though... Quote
DLuders Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I think Paul Boratko has guessed it correctly -- see the 22 ea. 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Spy Photos from Car and Driver magazine. The proportions look right.... Edited February 18, 2012 by DLuders Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 When I read Sheepo I began to fear . First thing is a easy and small model, not very difficult to take a break... Gearbox will be manual for no room for the real one and the position of the gearbox also hasn´t got importance, is there to make it low the car, in fact I will have to put the gearbox before the rear axle, its correct position, if I want to put the V8 fake engine more low... It isn´t a Veyron or a BMW... but someone has posted something yet... and yes it is a rear wheel drive car... Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Doesn't a Koenigsegg Agera have a 7-speed gearbox ? And a V8 engine and RWD ? Edited February 18, 2012 by Jurgen Krooshoop Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 It isn´t an american car and it isn´t the Agera I think this one has a 6 speed gearbox . Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 No, is not the Aventador... Quote
Sheepo Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Audi R8 (7 speed tronic, V8)? No, R8 is AWD... OK, step by step... - Rear wheel drive - 7 speeds gearbox - Front engine - Not american - V8 engine - Not a Veyron or BMW I say... maybe Mercedes-Benz SLS(AMG)?? Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Sorry not a Gran Turismo, Sheepo win again , someday I will do something that surprises you . The sls always was my first option for a big scale car but its RWD was the problem because I preffer a more complicated trasmision so I choose the R8 with its AWD. Working in a small model, without power functions and space I will built the mercedes, the bodywork and the doors will be the challenge. I am thinking to change the gearbox to lower the fake engine one stud... what do you think?. Audi R8 (7 speed tronic, V8)? Another time not please... , well in fact this has only 6 speed gearbox... R8 Edited February 18, 2012 by jorgeopesi Quote
efferman Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 if you build the sls und you want lower the fake engine, why not a transaxle transmission? like in my 8070 moc? Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 if you build the sls und you want lower the fake engine, why not a transaxle transmission? like in my 8070 moc? Transmision is not a problem, the problem is all the gearbox, maybe I can put it before the rear axle but I had an idea, I got the stud I need with the suspension, in fact the car was a little high from the ground... If it doesn´t work I will do the gearbox solution with tranaxle if it is posible . Quote
timslegos Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 The body looks cool so far, it must be hard to get the nice curves. tim Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 The body looks cool so far, it must be hard to get the nice curves. tim You are right, it is the most dificult thing I preffer the mechanical part very much... this one is very bored... Quote
Bigfoot Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I think you should move the bottom of the windscreen forward a stud or two. Quote
