It's not that it's going well, it's I'm spending WAY to much time on it. I think we are about to hit a major wall. I love where the rear end is headed. I think the front arms aren't going to get me the travel I'd like to see. I see a re-do on that, to widen the car to 31". That should get me more travel with a wide tire and still get it through most doorways.

Good find, that's it!! Leave it to the big car specialist to just instantly know where it was. [sm=49_49.gif]

I like 4 others of his bodys, I may pick them up to have when the inspiration hits.

The pre-runner has my attention at the moment, along with the Porsche. I've had an idea for a massive pan car for a while with slick gokart tires and a massive 1 or 2 horse electric motor. Porsche would look good on that.


That mocked up idea was using a 110cc engine. It's given me some great ideas. I have about 3 cars in front of it though that I REALLY want to build. [:@] bummer. I'll get to it.

It'll slow down soon enough. It's like framing a garage. The first few days make it look like you're really moving, then 3 months later, you have a garage. ...lol... I REALLY wanted to have it done by this weekend for an event we are going to. But there are some parts I'm waiting on from MCmaster and a few others that are holding things up. Little bits like master link for 25 chain and different sprocket solutions and spring ideas and bearings in the event of a rear swing arm re-do. You have to have a date set or these kinds of things never get done. I'm setting the date for first drive at Feb 13th. 1 month. I think it's a legit date. Might not be powder coated or painted, but done enough to drive and show.

Already, I've ordered some Tone servos, I'm convinced the hitec in it, isn't going to last, so I'm just going to get to planning on that. I have an idea for a servo saver too. Not that it needs it with the Tone, but curioustiy is killing me. I picked up a wiper motor, and I'm gonna mock up a large scale servo with it. That whole concept with the wiper motor intrigues me, a LOT. Was going to work on it last night but ran out of time.

So, in a nutshell, set a date, work to hit it, and talk about it on web forums. Sometimes when a person needs that little push from people that you know are hoping for progress.
