Hi Giles.

What you think of this. if the servo is very small. it seems to me a nice solution.

mount the servo in a different way

I think it will work at 1:64. In our scale must be able to

Maybe you saw them. I'm going to order one. Is very small

Have a nice day

Hi Giles. 

It has become a beauty.

Hi Giles,

Nice kit you've got. You must have a very sweet wife

Hi Giles,

What a sweet car.

A nice building kit. And the control made wel. 

Maybe missed:  What you use for charging lipo s 

Have a nice day

Great work Giles. I love your work. No longer done model building for a long time.

When I see your work, it gives me the spirit to pick up the model building again.

Hi Giles,

beautiful work, . You can do a lot on small place

John 

Hi Rich.

You are right it concerns steer and drive away. I still have to learn to drive well.

Yes I have the controler on the picture.

i have forward and reverse on one stick. But i can change it in forward and backward to arrange with other stick and throttle with other stick

I'm going to see the homepage. thanks for the link

John 

Hi Rich,

Thanks, 

I made a new movie on my new layout under construction 

with a background sound of a ford aa,

I put some ligts in the ca but, .they are still too white

want to drive the car yet slightly faster, 

so will install another engine.

more later.

I think it is possible to use the faller system in larger scales.

you will have to build the system in the larger car s

then you can drive with more cars on the track in an easy way

a nice challenge

Hi Giles,

.Thanks for this nice words.

I have to put lighting., also bolts and nuts in the flatbed. and weathering with rust spores and dust.

When I'm done I will post pictures

I working on a layout for car and train.

Later  I will make a thread over it on this forum.

regards John 

My update of the AA Ford. Car ride nice and painted like an old car .

test drive on a layout of een good vrind.

Giles, thanks for the good information. Without you I wasn't that far,

You have given me good insight to make RC cars

Thanks,

Now I'm going to try with 1: 5 the motor gearbox.

Maybey  a little more speed.  

Giles, how's it going with your project

I have order from technobot 2 motors. 1: 5 and 1: 10 gearbox

Have a motor with 1: 10 gearbox built in

speed seems good but, now try the engine with 1: 5 gearbox

Hi Phil,

Do you have a picture of it

John 

have tested the machima engine.  I going to use

12v - 12000 rpm  

3.7v - 3700 rpm

with gearbox 1:38        

3700 rpm : 38 = 97.3 rpm

I think with gearbox he is good.

now make a bracket for the engine.  

also a flywheel I can  use .

the engine has axel on front and back

more later

John 

Thanks 

Hi Giles,

Thanks for the link.

The engine with 1:5 gearbox would be a good choice

First try with a machima engine, I have,

directly on the gearbox on rear axle,

I have look what happened.

What is the speed of you car

Rich,

I whas first looking for the system of Tom Valley,

I thought with this system to start 

but its not legaal in the Netherlands

I will follow the progress of protocab

John 

Hi Rich, thanks

This new system by Protocab looks ok for trains.

In the car is also a steering servo. Cannot be served by this system.

John 

engine not to see from the side

John 

some news from my side

engine built in.

Now I can drive

the car ride too slowly. will search for other motor with gearbox

John 

Hi Giles,

Thanks.

larger  delay will work better.

John 

Hi all,

minor adjustment of my car

I don't use the small engine. The speed is fast

motor to gearbox attached, gearbox   1: 38  engine 1: 50

gearbox fitted.  Now i have to make support for engine

John 

Hi Giles

Maybe the start voltage of the engine 

When strong magnet in engine. engine start at 3v and run fast 

John 

Hi Giles,

good idea to use. nice and little.

whats the ratio of the gearbox ??

have you tried on the receiver???

John 

Hi Giles, Thanks

I enjoy to do this way. but is a lot of work. It may be easier

It's the pleasure of hobby

Now I in battle with the motor drive. But it will succeed

Will post pictures soon

John 

Thanks
