Default RE: I want to see more pics of home made RC cars, please.

Almost forgot....
Was gonna show you how my project started out.
It all began one rainy morning in my shed, looking at a brushcutter on the floor sitting next to a steel frame and a wheelbarrow wheel.

Hmmm......
Ideas......

While this was never going to work, it was a fun (and indeed necessary) excercise to get me started on the real thing.
I did manage to get the rear axle spin with that little motor by the way. (just)
The sprocket on the motor was 18 cog and the one on the axle was 54 or something.
That a crappy 23cc motor with no clutch and zero torque soon got put to the side in favour of the 47cc chainsaw.

We've all gotta start somewhere I suppose, and as I've never had anything to do with RC cars before starting this project I had to start at this end.
That and countless hours surfing the net and looking at pictures/videos.
I can guarantee that almost everyone reading this right now have contributed in one way or another to me getting to where I am at the moment with my car.
