What a car from Fast and Furious 8! All car movie fans know this car, The Ice Charger. This is a real american muscle turned into something more:)

As always we let you be the judge to tell how well we could capture it.
Our aim was to get it as much authentic as possible.

Chassis v.4.1 (ICE Charger)

This is a Legacy Chassis! Click to v.4.3

Chassis dimensions

Wheelbase259mm
Front Wheel Track185mm
Rear Wheel Track190mm

We strive for an ultimate universal chassis because we wanna use it under many 3D printed car bodies. So that’s why the slidable parts

The chassis is built on a 2 (aluminium) U profile (8×10 mm) with bought and 3D printed parts.

3D printed parts: Housing of the electric motor, housing of the battery, most of the steering system… 

Bought parts are:
 The suspension (length 60 mm), the different wheel rims with the tires, the servo, the receiver, drive shaft and the differential is from Tamiya, the electric motor (17000 rpm), and of course screws (M2, M3) and the ball joints (M3).

Body Assembly

Here’s a full assembly video! Enjoy:)

Chassis assembly Video

Here’s a full assembly video of an older version, not so many things differ so you’ll get to see what matters.

Most used tools

Scalpel&Allenkeys&RASPs

Scalpel for removing print support. Keys for screws. Every kind of Rasps to get the surface smooth and even.

Most Used Parts for Assembly

Super glue

Both Gel and Liquid ones. Use GEL when putting parts together. When it holds use LIQUID on the surface.

Super glue for assembly

Glue Gun

It’s adhesive sets very quickly. We used it only inside the body kit, because on the surface leaves nasty traces.
