Stabliofarmer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Don't worry Joe, its not humans making those. Its NASA trained bionic chimps that have a spare five minutes on their latest Mars mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 truth be known joe, most of that models rc workings have come from a siku donor model, so you dont really need to know a lot to do it, bar the extra lights, the tips prob out of the trailers they do, the steering and drives obvious , the trailer doors prob using the rear linkage lift motor , the hardest bit is building them into the chassis I recon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky, ;) Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 oh its tricky joe , I ment its not tricky to use the siku stuff , its all pre wired and plugged for you ,got a few spare bits from a scrap ebay lot I won ,I recon two steering its could be done on the same channel to, just wired in , , the making of the chassis etc to take it all is the tricky bit, you just have to look at some of those lorries, with custom built metal chassis ,milled out etc, I wouldn't have a clue what to do there, and I recon that's built along them lines to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 I reckon these guys know what their doing Sean,independent front rear steer,and all that buzzing would mean Thyristors unless I'm mistaken,which is quite likely, ;) here is a test video they made, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZS3KPmZmLo meant to put that in the previous post, Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
