Indiana Jones Horch converted to RC ambulance. So far.....

Post by gorgeousfloanne »

Here is another one of my builds so far.
It's an Indiana Jones Horch staff car that I've converted to radio control.
The original chassis has been removed for an rc chassis & the body has been cut so I could convert the back into a field ambulance.
There's still a lot of work to do, but this is how far I've got so far.
I'll add another thread with the rest of the pics so far.
Thanks for looking, jo.

Hello Andy.
I used the chassis, gearbox & all the rc from an old 1 16th rc rally car.
I had to modify the original Horch wheels to fit the other chassis. That was a bit tricky.
Then I cut out the excess plastic from the upper part of the Horch & bonded it to the lower chassis.
It's all a bit fiddly but it works well & it's much easier than making your own gearbox & steering rack.

Hello.
Thanks for the comments.
I love that Ziz 6. It's got so much detail & it looks brilliant with the light inside.
I'll post some pics of my Horch in show off when it's finished.
I don't think it will take too long now. I'm doing it alongside my AEC so it'll be a race to get them on.
Jo.
