This is a remix of the frame and body from this model

When I built the first dragster for RMRRF 2023 we had to dismantle it so that we could get it to Colorado safely by plane. While working on that, my friend and I had the idea of making the car fold in half. Here is that mod

Changes were necessary to the body panels to instead of simply modifying the original body I decided to modify the 3 piece body panel remix I made a few weeks ago.

This modification requires:

  • 6 additional round magnets 6mm x 3mm
  • 1 additional m3 x 50mm flat head screw (although 45mm would be better)
  • around 15 additional m3 heat sets
  • An unspecified assortment of m3 flat head and button head screws between 12-16mm. (sorry I do not have an account right now)

You will need to print one of each model except for the latch which will need 2.

You will need flat head screws for any of the countersunk location in the frame. Button head screws will go through the body panels at all other location.

When fully assembled, two screws can be removed to allow the car to fold in half. 

I have tested the hinge and it feels secure and works well but I am still printing body panels. I will post more pictures when the car is fully assembled.
