This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

You cannot be good at everything ..... You must know how to delegate to those who are capable  :lol!:

The priceless satisfaction of a job well done beats any race or battle:

Meanwhile, we have defined the front axle:

Work is carried out on the interface side member Juckenburg-Asiatam.

The choice fell on a C-folded aluminum sheet that will jointly join the two pairs of side members:

Image

SOn the interface side member I created the slots for the motors, for the turret axis, for a transverse side member that I preferred to leave in its place:

But let's start the ..... presentations: :lol!:

It's already astounding :clap: - so what will it be like when it's completed... :D
Overcoming adversity can bring real joy. Asiatam products often provide loads of it: the adversity, that is- not the joy :lolno: :thumbup:
Wonderful problem solving so far, and sensible delegation too ;)

Nice one using the metal frame work as a part of the circuit .A good way to feed awkward positions that need power.
