Building an rc bus
Hi everyone, over the next two months I intend to design build and finish a remote control bus.
this is the rough design that I have found www.quality3dmodels.net/viewmodel.php?id=133
the scale will be 1/10 in theory however because I am new to rcmodellingI will use electronics out of another rc car.
i am not having windows therefore I do not need to worry about the interior
my main concern is the chassis for the busbecauseI wont be able to find anything with the same sort of size (ie length and width) as a bus so I will have to make that from scratch. not sure how yet,anyway. I thought I would create this thread to help get ideas and log my progress.
I wouldappreciateany help given

RE: Building an rc bus
for a bus that style, i would take a basic 1/10 on-road car and stretch the chassis to the needed length. then just find wheels that look the right scale that have 12mm hex, and lastly fab up some tall body mounts
