Pininy's camel trophy defender 110

[pininfarina 1009]

Some place for hiding light controllers and receiver under the seats...

Net looks like a prison ... Need to make thinner and wider ones...

How did you make the net? It looks like it would suit my apocalypse Blackfoot windows!

I am still deciding which to used, the white one are hobby craft materials which was cut into shape...

Sliver and black are from Gardening D.I.Y. Shop :-)

Taking shape nicely, nets looks good - could be a police landy lol

[chevelle 997]

ooh the silver one looks sweet

[pininfarina 1009]

stole some lego pieces from my son's toy box lol.

did a 180 degrees steering mod... not sure if the driver's hands and arms can articulate 360 lol...

easy mod... lego and some gears and shaft from mini-4wd

Steering mod expose lol! Simple design with 2 gears and a shaft for 180degrees, you can do 360 degrees or more by using another shaft and gears..

[pininfarina 1009]

Just fitted the steering mod on the defender's dash....

Use a brass tube to run the shaft then mount the servo behind it..

[pininfarina 1009]

here's a short test..

think the gearing too tight, will loosen it up..

[pininfarina 1009]

On with the rear door....

Got some hardware from rotor hobby shop..

These plastic hinges are nice, will wait for the brass ones to compare the size..

Also got a door latch....too

[pininfarina 1009]

had to replace my steering wheel servo as it's a tad big, so used an Corona's CS238MG, these are tiny enough to be hidden behind the dashboard. only problem is the servo needed to be reverse manually so re-soldered the wires internally.

and test the servo and sync steering and steering wheel.

[pininfarina 1009]

Deciding which head to use..... For driver .... Will make it turn with a tiny servo!

Love the cowboy hat! .... Choices?!

[pininfarina 1009]

Getting a bit freaky lol! Don't you think it's fitting?!

Need to do the hands.... One on the steering and the other on the shifter...

[pininfarina 1009]

so freaky... not natural at all hahaha..

need to get a slow mo... or do a delay or something...

[XV Pilot 1936]

Looks like you need one of these:

[pininfarina 1009]

Thanks,

am using a slow mo flap servo lol!

reduced the angle and gears... now it's good.

also cut a hole to fit the hole neck in.. lol

Now in sync

now preparing to do the arms...

not sure if i want to do a animated shifting hahaha too much work!!

[XV Pilot 1936]

Much better!

[ChrisRx718 4470]

That is awesome!

[Nitomor 2122]

[pininfarina 1009]

Haha that's too much work for me! Saw this before...

Anyway thanks!

[pininfarina 1009]

First try successful... ROBO CowBoy!

but need more tweaking ... deciding if the steering arm should be the left/right...

and the body will move if not belted..properly... good for scale?

[pininfarina 1009]

RC Driver Left hand steering

[Ad Lav 367]

Impressive stuff!!

[pininfarina 1009]

So happy my mini hinges arrived... From first glance it's the same size as the door hinges on the defender 110 side doors!

Will be back home tonight to compare the size!

[pininfarina 1009]

A bit smaller than I thought!

But possible to mod and extension

I will do another 2 defender 110 and one of which will have full doors mods!
