Deciding which head to use..... For driver .... Will make it turn with a tiny servo!

Love the cowboy hat! .... Choices?!

by pininy on Sun 13 Sep 2015 - 14:36

Need to repaint that cowboy...

by pininy on Sun 13 Sep 2015 - 19:38

Getting a bit freaky lol! Don't you think it's fitting?!

Need to do the hands.... One on the steering and the other on the shifter...

by pininy on Tue 15 Sep 2015 - 0:10

so freaky... not natural at all hahaha..

need to get a slow mo... or do a delay or something...

by laneboysrc on Tue 15 Sep 2015 - 10:58

You could use something like this (http://diyrc.com/picaxe-slowdown.htm) to make the servo rotate smoother.

by pininy on Tue 15 Sep 2015 - 11:27

I am using a slow mo flap servo, but not that slow lol returning center!!

thanks for the link... not sure if i want to get into that hobby too.. very addictive ...

by pininy on Tue 15 Sep 2015 - 18:31

reduced the angle and gears... now it's good.

also cut a hole to fit the hole neck in.. lol

now preparing to do the arms...

not sure if i want to do a animated shifting hahaha too much work!!

First try successful... ROBO CowBoy!

but need more tweaking ... deciding if the steering arm should be the left/right...

and the body will move if not belted..properly... good for scale?

by pininy on Wed 16 Sep 2015 - 23:57

tested left hands.. - middle top grip is much better

So happy my mini hinges arrived... From first glance it's the same size as the door hinges on the defender 110 side doors!

Will be back home tonight to compare the size!

by boolean21 on Thu 17 Sep 2015 - 10:43

Looking forward to the updates!

by pininy on Thu 17 Sep 2015 - 15:47

A bit smaller than I thought!

But possible to mod and extension

I will do another 2 defender 110 and one of which will have full doors mods!

by pininy on Sat 19 Sep 2015 - 20:16

Finally decide on the hinge to use, had to do some modification....

Will need to select the hatch and door details later...

For now this would be the door hinge... Quit good... Restricted to 95 degrees...

by pininy on Sat 19 Sep 2015 - 23:34

Had to cut the top hinge further to clear the rear right window!

by pininy on Tue 22 Sep 2015 - 23:49

Didn't have much time over the weekends...

But got the latch done... Will complete the interior door details soon

by pininy on Wed 23 Sep 2015 - 10:10

Narrowing the spare tyre ..... And also maybe the plastic rims...

Waiting the the tyre to cure!

by babyboy on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 8:43

Thanks! For the comments ;-)

Made another rim and this ok 3 seconds super glue is fantastic!

by pininy on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 15:34

I've learnt something new from the seller of this super glue...

keep both side of the surface clean, and sand off any glued areas if you made a mistake.. then test fit before you apply the glue.

You only need to apply the super glue to one surface - ONLY 1 Surface.... NOT BOTH..

then fit them together and HOLD - i would count to 10 and it's sticks... even for rubber to rubber!

Fantastic!!!

by boolean21 on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 15:42

Any additional reinforcements in the narrowed wheels?

by pininy on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 15:48

it's very strong after 24hrs.. the glue is fully cured. going to use this as spare.. to hook on the body..

unless you want to use it ...then you need to re-inforce...

if you want to strengthen further, i would get a hollow tubbing(PVC/metal) and make a short collar and wrap it around it glue it...

externally and since behind is not seen, you can go further to do a inner one.. too kiasu lol!

for crawling is fine, not for speed...haha

by pininy on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 15:56

Even when compress the glue holds the rubber/tyre in check! After 24 hours cure!

The ZAP CA just won't cut it! But the ok 3 second super glue can!

by boolean21 on Fri 25 Sep 2015 - 15:58

Ah... ok... this set are shelf wheels.. Smile

by pininy on Sun 27 Sep 2015 - 4:47

Here's where I am at, doing the internal roll cage...

Still a long way...

New buddy!

by boolean21 on Sun 27 Sep 2015 - 20:02

nice updates!

by pininy on Wed 30 Sep 2015 - 18:21

Found some pretty scale figures!

I think for a madmax theme then camel trophy!

by boolean21 on Tue 6 Oct 2015 - 22:40

nice, where did you get them?

by pininy on Wed 7 Oct 2015 - 1:19

Got them locally on carousell? They are on eBay too! These guys are 8" which make it 1/8 scale... I think the defender with these are just nice!

by pininy on Wed 7 Oct 2015 - 17:57

Due to some reason, the HK seller did not send the missing, broken or defects parts for my current chassis. Since August and now under PayPal dispute... Since August I send him the list of issues, he said ordered, but every time a different date, very dishonest...

So had to get the rc4wd Gelande II, and I have to say they are impressive.. Here is it!
