So I shrink my Vamo ...

[beast1911]

Very nice. Would be very interested in one if you ran off a few more sets.

Will explain with pictures tomorrow. My english is not so good and " une photo vaut 1000 mots!"

merci beaucoup!

Sign me up for a set too! You better hurry, China has probably seen this and they will be churning them out.

I'd be very interested in the milled aluminium parts too - awesome job!

LOVE! How do you isolate the positive from ground, how do you connect positive from battery top to positive connection?

My French is not so good, but I will try: 'une beau coup short wire'

I really like the look of this - the missus hates the vamo because as she puts it "it's like a lightsaber" and with something like a Taifun on top it really is huge!

I too am interested in a few sets of these - nice work!

I have updated picture and post a schematic drawing at the begining of that thread.

Sorry for those who want one but I dont have a milling machine only a press drill so it is pretty long to do, more or less 4hrs. But it is relatively easy to do. So feel free to use my idea and go modding. Just give me credit if so

Have fun!

What type of drill bit are you using in the drill press?

I'm not sure if i am allowed to put a link but anyway
RYOBI | 8 Pc Forstner Bit Set | Home Depot Canada

They call it "Forstner Bit Set"

By the way i am pretty sure it can be done with small pieces of hard wood. Just put a thin alluminium part on the wood top.
It will be pretty for sure!

nice work Tourlounette....had to post your work in the gadgets-flashy-stuff-weird-juices- thread

 

[vlastik63]

To Tourlounette: Nice work sir!

Great extra pics and plans, thanks for sharing these too. How did you get the 20mm hole in the top plate with the SAE forstner set? One small thing, if you find that your hand wraps around it when holding and your finger tips rest on the threading, you have enough room there to add tubing to cover these for a nicer tactile feel.

I have been pondering doing this also. An absolutely brilliant solution. Now to make it I will have to sweet talk the guys in the machine shop.

Asdaq as always you have a big sense of observation. The I didnt find a forstner for the 20mm hole so I have to finish it with a dremel and sandpaper, not a big deal!

And for the threading, you are right, i thought of some brass tubing that I think I can find in a RC helicopter store. Or maybe roll a brass wire all around. But I like also the look steampunk that give the threading. There is a world of possibility. Hope other will try and show us there work.
Cioa!

Go go go, sweet talk the guys then show us the result. I like it a lot, it is my all day mod now!

I've been wondering if Canadian Tire has this sort of stuff too, but I think maybe not. Glass tubing maybe?
