Coursework Marks

OK, I had 105/105 for 5 hours but then the head of Design and Technology said that I had researched too many existing products and it looked as if there was no need for my product. This was not the case if he had read my porfolio, but that one mark does not matter too much, I still got 104/105, which is top in the school. But I may get modderated up if the modderator says that is what is needed. I would really love this to happen.

Coursework Marks for Manufacture of RC rock crawler

OK, I received 52/52 (100%) for the making of the RC rock crawler, which is amazing as I was the only person in the year to do so, which made me very happy.

I was told by my teacher that I should be hoping for the top grade in my school, but I think 100/105 would be good enough for me.

Final Submitment


Well, it has been a long struggle to get to the finish but here it is. The RC rock crawling monster is complete, well i say complete, real cars are never complete. Here are some pics of it. I am so happy with it that I started it up and the twin chamber exhaust is amazing!! I am loving it!!

RC Air Portable

I am building a NITRO powered RC rock crawling Land Rover Air Portable space frame tray back. It is using the HPI extreme axles and gear box coupled to an O.S. MAX 30 VGP 5.0cc engine. There is no roof, door tops or windscreen which makes it lighter and also allows greater air flow into the air intake.
