RE: 1/50 scale home made car
and the electronics. it really sucks because i had to use the board from a zip zap and it doesnt give enuff power to drive two motors. and its got three. two for power and one for stearing

RE: 1/50 scale home made car
I like the first army truck. Actually i like them all. And good pic's. What happened to your army truck? u said its done now? How did you get so much articulation out of it? Did it have enought power to climb things. When it would wheelie would it be ballanceing or scraping the ground on its frame. another thing it looked like good wiring for 14, did that all come with the zip zap? were did u get all the motors

RE: 1/50 scale home made car
the first one was made from a stunt car like it says and the second one is a zip zap on a fuchs military frame and body. i need to put a diffrent board in it. the first one when it wheelied it would scrape the groung in the back. the motor all come from zip zaps and i have some other that are a little faster and have more torq than the zip zap motors.

RE: 1/50 scale home made car
oh ya i broke the first one. i put 4 batteries in it and fried the board. then because it wasnt working i took the trans apart and ruined it. for articulation i just did a swivle thing two triangles with holes at the peak of the triangle and glued the botoms of the triangles to the trans and frame. and put a paper clip through the holes.
