Hull suspension, incorrect I believe as the swing arms need to face in different directions and of course torsion arms were used. I have a lower metal asitam with torsion suspension set into a plastic hull so I have the parts to mod this but will get the thing running and review the suspension at a later date.

Lower hull/wheel cover plate detail....

The hole for the drive shaft was to small for the brass sprocket connector... so I cant dry fit the motor

So I used my trusty tapered reamer..... I lucked out, the reamer went through the hole and increased the hole size just enough. There is space for a bearing in the hull to provide additional support to the drive sprockets but at the moment I think the motor/gearbox combination will be strong enough.

Here is a closeup of the reamed hole... the motor had the side L section aluminium mounting plates removed and was put into the hull and the brass bushes added.

Where did you get the gearbox set up from and do you mind saying how much they cost?

The gearbox was from Roland at the following web site.

The price was about £170 I think with postage. Excellent quality.

Edit... I just read the forum rules and do not or am not affiliated with Roland, I hope im not breaking any forum rules.

You said lots of pictures.... so.....
