ABOUT THE MODEL
Unfortunetly, there's not too much detail about the car's real measurements, but i tryed to keep it as realistic as possible. For example the
base frame looks similar to the (presumably) original car's frame
However i used to improvise at the engine bay, and the interior design. So the engine is a custom-made Inline 4 twin turbo with
440HP just like the real one. The dashboard is mostly based on the movie prop car's interior, and i added some little extras like the turbo
sticker or the radio.
The car mostly handles like the real one, it has similar top speed, and the doors are opening the same way as the real life version. Also the weight numbers are realistic as well

Have fun, take a revenge for Charlie

@TakicraftCorporation Ok
@RcAddict yeah i did that. I used to shut down the ordering for the summer, because there was too much order. I'll re-launch it in october i think
In your biography thing I think it say's something about you making parts for cars, is that so? Also we have almost the same favorite car!
This deserves way more downloads.
This was a fun movie, I loved that car. Awesome job. I like how everything works so smoothly on this.
@TakicraftCorporation ok
@JohnnyBoythePilot ohh i see. Sounds interesting... I woul'd like to take a look at it if you decide to upload on of your flying cars :)
@DemonSniper8
@TakicraftCorporation
No I legit turned this thing into a quadcopter and the duct fans retract to become wheels, although it looks goofy as hell and is pretty clumsy to drive and fly, but it still looks pretty promising. I've actually long-awaited to make a flying car in SP and I've already developed a method to achieve it, and so I decided to use your M4S as a "testbed" and lets just say you could probably make any car fly with the setup I made. It's like a "hover conversion" kit-of-sorts from Back to the Future Part 2, except this one is way more realistic in how it hypothetically operates.
@JohnnyBoythePilot yeah if you open the doors while rolling it will fly because of the 'working' spoiler
@Nerfaddict yeah exams and other things, but i can help you with some minor things. Tips.... Do some kind of a blueprint first... If you need to make complicated details (like a dashboard) make it separately, and add as a sub assembly...
It's hard to say things without seeing your progress, but tell me if i can help...
Lol btw I just turned this bad boy into a flying car
damn bro
It would have been awesome if Dodge turned this into a production super car.
YES someone actually made this in SP!
@TakicraftCorporation also, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to help me out Directly (a collab kind of thing), but I'm working on a new car called the I-250, so do you have any "building tips" by any chance
@TakicraftCorporation it will be interesting to make a modified version of a real car
Great build !
cool!
Its nice to see all the other entries trickling in
will test later
