Kids Caterham

[Mere-Grand]

Here's a mini Caterham I've just built for my kids.
Scale is 7:10.
Home made project.
My daughter will drive it for Little Big Mans during Le Mans Classic in July.

Hope you like it.

Awesome work - more details please!!

[Mere-Grand]

Thanks.

It's powered with an electric axle. The space at the front was needed for the legs (yes, I can drive it too! ).









And seats are home made too.



































More to follow.

Fantastic

[Mere-Grand]

Thanks.

There are no K&N filters in this size and shape. I had to make fake ones.

Crikey! How many hours goes into something like that?

[Drooles]

I started the project from this.


Made on the computer then laser cut.




The roll bar is the exact replica of the real ones.






Original KN Jupiter wheels. These ones were for Minis (5x10)















 
I had to make adapters to go from 4x100 to 4x101,6 (4x4")

Amazing work .

Someone linked to a video of it being driven round your garden on the LC7 forum - I'm envious of your children

Great to see more detail of the build here.
