Sorry its taken so long to get back to you guys with my progress but this project is for 1 of my 4 classes, and as we approach the end of the semester I am getting VERY busy. I am also making a VEX robot, Victorian style entertainment unit, and a 4 wheeled vehicle powered by a bicycle hub motor (pictured).


This picture is from a couple of weeks ago and is now almost done.

Anyway, I have made some progress on the buggy. Last weekend I was able to get the engine and throttle bellcrank mounted, and the rear diff fitted. Thursday of this week (May 5/11) I finally cut the vaccum mold for the body. It is very thin right now because I have not yet had the time to glue the base to the top. The machine I used, Precix CNC router, did not have enough vertical travel to cut deep enough and have the required clearance for the cutting tool. So maybe this week I will glue some medite to the top profile and hand cut to fit. I am still waiting for the plastic to cut the arms.





































Here are some pics of the rear diff case installed. The front will be the same, when I get around to it.








More pictures to come as soon as I get some plastic or find the time to get some more work done.
