Compared to the other trucks I know feel inadequate lol . seriously i am jeolous of the other builds. The machine work and ideas are unbelieveable.
We've all got to work within out means though.
For me machining is out of the question unless I take the stuff somewhere, but I'd rather battle on with bits of scrap and old powerdrills and bicycle sprockets.
Getting to [link=http://www.rcuvideos.com/video/FIRST-RUN-avi]this[/link] stage was an awesome feeling and very rewarding.
Just to see that everything worked and the chains stayed on etc.
Of course there were a lot of moments like [link=http://www.rcuvideos.com/video/REV-FAIL]this one[/link] but that's what keeps you going.
One of my mates keeps coming over asking stuff like "Are you gonna paint it?" and "How are you gonna do the steering?" approximately twice a week.
I keep telling him that first we have to see if it's gonna run at all.
Then I'll rebuild the frame and motor setup and THEN I'll start worrying about steering etc.
Keep at it Drew!
I know I will now that I have the bug.
Some other links I have come across
Seen the first 2 of those.
That lawnmowerbuggy is awesome and a bit scary.[X(]
Would love to make something like that one day.
Might have to get Da Mad Maori to build me some huge servos though.
I will make no other comments about it until some better pics surface
Doubt that will happen as he's been suspended from the site....
