RE: Anyone Else Have One Of These?
The only problem I had with a national geographic version of this land yacht, is that the front wheel doesn't respond fast enough. it's not a digital proportional system, and takes a while to turn either left or right. I figured out that it's a worm driven gear of sorts on a toothed ring with the nose wheel in the middle of that ring. To make it move faster, try taking out the stock motor gear setup, leave the wheel system in place, and then rig up a pull/pull servo *heavy duty* to it to allow for proportional, and more responsive steering. You will also have to change out the original rx with a hobby grade one and then figure out how to mount one other servo to run the main sail's boom, *there's a term for it, but I can't remember what it was* You basically zig zag back and forth to get around.
