Hey MOG's,
heres the plan:
1/5 scale rocket
Radio controlled
engine powered - currently 23cc chainsaw
chunky wheels for grass and offroad fun
make as much as possible from scratch!
Started off drawing the lower chassis tubes on a plywood chassis jig, bent some 12mm steel tube, clamping down and tack welding. got something like this:
As it happens, ive made/bought a few RC cars before, so had a good selection of parts to help things..Including a very nice differential with hydraulic disc brakes!
i then played about with the layout of engine and drive train to diff, looks something like this:
Next step was suspension. rear lower wishbones first. made form 10mm square tube, pivoting on 6mm steel rods. they look something like this:
THE BIG DAY!!
Ive moved into new house
been busy painting floor and walls, making benches, wiring a ring main and buying an ENORMOUS pillar drill ;D
next step... rear uprights and front lower wishbones...
will
