Hello all, I’m a newbie here, but I’ve had a project going for about 15 years to convert a 1:76 bus to run. Somehow. Anyway, it was only when I saw Giles Favell’s End of the Line that I understood what could be done. That was last year, and I finally got down to it about a month ago, and she’s up and running: The eagle eyed among you will observe the absence of on/off switch, and charging socket, so I still have work to do. I have an idea about a solution to both which I will ask for advice about, but will do that later. Also the steering is backwards so will have to reprogram I suppose For now I’m having some down time... Thanks to all here, for your posts which I have read and have been a great help. I’ll be back with photos of the build if anyone is interested! Regards, Steve

Thanks John, I ‘ll head over to the r/c section presently. There are some extremely knowledgeable people there. I already have a good idea of the setup, but it’s best to have some backup. What I like about the buses is, they are the same toys that we’ve had since we were kids, but now we can actually drive them with motors and steering thanks to radio control. All best, Steve

Hello to all RMWeb members I finally signed up, after being an occasional visitor for many years. I am actually an occasional modeller, but am busy currently building an RC Burlingham Seagull in 4mm (hope bus isn’t a naughty word here?). I’ve done most of the build, and so will soon be face to face with the electronics part. So basically, HELP!!”
