Wow, that's coming along great

In that pic is the body mounted on the Electrix boost?

there is another way to slow it down if u are running out of gearing options....
a higher turn motor
RC4WD make some cheap high turn motors
35t 12,500rpm
45t 9,500rpm
55t 8,000rpm
65t 7,000rpm
80t 5,500rpm

PH,

Thank you.

Yes there is a Boost under there.
Once I've finished a decent set of panels I'll take some detailed photos.

Thank you for the suggestion regarding the motor.
I went out today and bought a 70T which has done exactly what you said.
The Jeep now travels a lot more slowly.

At least with the original 20T fitted I got to test how robust the KNex frame and foam card panels are!

Once again thank you for the tip/solution,
Bern

PH,

I've just finished putting together a second Jeep using my original panels as templates. I've made a short video which I've got on my Facebook page but I'm not sure how to post or link to it from here. Not long now until it's all together, painted and running (fingers crossed).

I'll pop some photos on here when I've done,
