Great Scale Driver & Interior

[backtomyroots]

Scale junky ?

How about a driver that shifts gears and presses the gas pedal in your interior of your vehicle:

Challenge has been made for this to be outdone !

Saw a drift vid ages ago where the driver steers and pulls the handbrake, he had his gf in the passenger seat and she was animated as well.

I will try and find it, but wouldn't know where to look now.

What was she animated to do exactly?

@Steve, haha lol, not what you are thinking. :D

This is annoying me now, can't find it, I am sure it was posted on here, where did videos go before we had the youtubed thread?

Found the potential original video of the drift car (or a facsimile thereof):

The girl appears to be just a static figurine, but the driver definitely moves! And a very nice Alfa Romeo touring car converted to a drifter can be spotted at the meet; the car has an interesting look.

Both are amazing projects - but is the Axial driver shifting gears, or pulling a handbrake?

Thanks @Grastens, that is the one I was thinking of, my memory obviously isn't as good as I thought it was.

Hmmm. Can't get the quote thing to work. Probably just tired. Oh, well. Disregard.

Both Videos are cool. Brought RC detailing up several notches. The cross inside the rear view mirror was a nice touch.

Check this guy out:

I am not sure if he is the same guy but he has a cool set up too.

Uh-oh... my brains started ticking! I feel a project coming on

I'm failure with using a Y link on the steering servo to run a 2nd servo and connecting the drivers head to it... So would it be possible to use a Y link on the ESC lead to make it work another servo and connect that to a gear lever maybe? You'd have to make an articulated arm but am I right in thinking it'd move forwards and backwards in relation to the amount of throttle input? Or would it the effect the ESC signal?

Sounds so simple I'm surprised I haven't seem it before so I'm wondering maybe there's more to it than that.
