Corvette stingray MT PROJECT
 
Iv been working on my MT project for about 3 weeks and have came up with a cool idea i took a samson MT chassis and monited a corvette stingway on it and cut the doors and hood so they opened and closed but i cant figure out how to make a hinge small enonug for the doors i have the hood hing in and it works GREAT any ideas for the doors? Pictures comming soon as i get it finished. IT LOOKS COOL.:bdrop: :blift:

Been an EXTREMELY long time since my RC flying days, but I seem to remember *really* *tiny* plastic hinges (with a single small metal pin for the actual hinge, that was thinner than a sewing needle/pin) that were used for the control surfaces of the planes (rudder, ailerons, elevator, etc...).

You might try "Tower Hobbies" (or any other large hobby shop that carries RC planes) for these type of hinges... they could easily be glued/epoxied/JB Weld(ed) to the inside of the doors (as well as the hood) -:)

I know the micro hinging is an option, but if I remember correctly, most of the others that have been done on this board just used rubberbands glued to body and panels.

Or if you want to take a hint from some larger scale models and fabricate your own... http://www.briansmodelcars.com/tutor...ID=1&CurPage=1
