Edig to just seen it for some reason mot all rhe pictires are loading Saw your edit, I left a gap at the bottom of post. Apologies, there wasn't any more pictures in that post. I just find it easier to post multiple pictures if I wack the return button a bit to make the space to add text. Sorry about that. Here's a mock up of the running gear. Pinned in place just to test. It. Early stages. "Tubbed" the chassis to fit/ tuck the wheels under,, slam it.. Sorry about the flash, old pictures.. I know the camper would/ should be just rear wheel drive but without a differential, it wouldn't steer, so I had to hook up the front axle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really "run" it, other than the short test video I posted.. The wheels need a bit more clearance,, or lifting up a little, I was going to shave the wheel arches a little at the back and cut a bigger one at the front but it's just been sat on a shelf.. When I saw how close the FTX wheelbase was, I knew it had to be RC'd.. It feels fairly strong, it's been coated multiple times with watered down PVA glue and in some places, it is 4 matches thick. But I still wouldn't want to drop it, or crash it.. As you can see in the magazine, it should have *bumpers but I didn't want to cover up the iconic V from the front panel after it took so long to get it looking nice.. *And a roof rack and Safari windows,, and a few other details that I omitted because I gave up.. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
