Re: 1/4 scale mini pick up

I'm doing a very basic steering set up, very similar to a go-kart, so the steering should be fairly easy to move with a decent large servo, being RWD will also help as the front will no doubt lift a little on acceleration making steering even easier.

Re: 1/4 scale mini pick up

I've been contacted by a magazine too about it, they would like to do a full feature on it when it's complete which is pretty cool :) I just can't wait till it's at the painting stage, to me that will be the icing on the cake, to see it in paint and looking shiny!

Re: 1/4 scale mini pick up

I'm glad the site didn't go under! 1st time I been on in a while, just thought I'd check it out to see what's happened with this, but as it's still going I thought I'd update to current state, all change again, but in 1:3 scale now! Hoping to get it 95% finished in the next month or so

Re: 1/4 scale mini pick up

Done some more today with a spare few hours to kill (the missus evicted me from the house so she can do her uni work) got the sides sorted and welded on, I decided to split the front end as it was awkward to get the wing shape right with the side and front all as one piece http://i945.photobucket.co...
