[Design and Technology] Can u help?

[Ian Daniels]

Thanks for your help. This is exactly what I am trying to set up. Without creating too much work for you would you please help me further. I am new to OZ from the UK. I have bought a hand operated Vaccuum Former from N.Zealand. What do you use for your body shell former and where from? Where do you get your components from Plus any other info that will be useful.
 
Thanks very much for your help and time and trouble.

Ian,

You said you did not want to use kits.  However.....

We use the Scorpio kits for electric cars (see attachment); the students design and build circuitry for power supply, lighting, sound, etc and body shape for vacuum forming.

P.S.  the wheels do not fit the axle diameters very well and they have changed the DPDT switch in the last batch we received.....

 

Good Luck,

Foster

I have been searching the net for simple designs to make working model cars in design technology (not the gas ones) combining materials and electronics, as a project for Yr.9's. I do not want to buy a kit from a model shop. My search has so far been unsuccessful. Can anyone help please.
