[wyetuck88]

I drew up some Sketches of the land rover series 2


Made a Template


Test Fitting the front fender





See how the mock up looks like





Our Friendly postman bought some gifts.

mock up and test fit



Steering consist of a servo, a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. The servo will
push or pull the master cylinder using a push rod and in
turn push the slave cylinder which is connected to the steering linkages and turn the wheels left and right
Here, the master cylinder will be fitted in where the motor used to be.

Thanks for reading!!!

just a servo controlling a master cylinder.
I can get micro pumps but they just wouldnt create enough presure.

sorry sorry, I will rephrase it.

I have two cylinders connected to each other. So when i compress one the other will extend right? Likewise when i extend out one the other will retract right?

Now i use a servo to do the compressing motion, the principle still stay the same right?

The good thing is that I can just add a third cylinder and I can have rear wheel steering.

[Teck]

R u going to use does 2.2 rockcrawling wheel n tire?i think 1.9 will look more scale n don't think u need back wheel turn if u making a scale rig

[wyetuck88]

hmm body is base on 2.2 tires, I see how it goes, I need to borrow a set of 1.9 wheels to see if it still fits the body.

[wyetuck88]

hmm pics will be up within this week Parts are still on the way.

[Teck]

Haha Liew i think u have to ask him how much he pay for the cylinder first

[Liew]

Better don ask ! I use $10 servo enough Liao

[laneboysrc]

Most interesting!

Just great how the mess tins fit. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to see more photos of your build!

[wyetuck88]

Haha Liew i think u have to ask him how much he pay for the cylinder first

haha you will be surprised, not more then 12 usd. Ebay your best friend. In my final mod (tilting suspension) I will use up to cylinder with 75mm stroke.

[wyetuck88]

A little update

Had a busy week so havent really progress much. Only have time to buy some fittings

I fixed up the slave cylinder with some rubber bushing



Bought the connectors for the slave cylinder


Mr Post man bought the U joints the motor is now connected to the drive shaft. the rod is a bit loose need to replace it later

[Liew]

Take a video on steering when done !
Looks good

time for some updates.

I extended the links today with some pcb thread thing. Not sure whats the term for them

Back

Front

Bought some 2mm aluminium sheets and work on it over the past few days...

Face plate, Please ignore the ugly drawings. I am still trying to draw out the correct
Dimension, Right now I only have photos to depend on. The angle of the photo shot is a real nightmare
for me to get a correct faceplate.


What I have work on over the past few days. The body, Left and right are done. they are held together by epoxy for now.


Body with face plate


Body panel. Cut out the windows today


Mock up of what the whole truck is gonna be like.


still missing the roof and hood.

Right now its about 55% done. Still need lots of work. I will focus on
getting the shape out first, Detailing will come later.

Thanks for reading!

seems like completion date is nearing!

nice work!

do post some photos of your tools too!

Thank you! Right now its just a jigsaw an angle grinder with cutting attachment and a mini bench top drill.

what blades do you use for the jigsaw to cut aluminium?
possible to cut irregular shapes on 3mm or 4mm aluminium sheets using jigsaw?

do you clamp them down onto MDF or wooden planks when cutting?
thanks for the info.

just use those normal blades for cutting metal. those with small teeths and a relative high rpm speed.
3mm to 4mm thick aluminum is very thick liao!!! are You building amour for your truck or new project a tank? haha. should be able to. Just need more time thats all.

I dont have a clamp at home. so I hold the work material on one hand and the jigsaw on the other hand.

i see i see... thanks for the info!

thinking of cutting the 3mm / 4mm aluminium and use for the ladder frame for scale trucks build....

thought the aluminium sheet will vibrate if not clamped down and cut together with the wood... will try it someday when i add a jigsaw into my toolbox..

looking forward to updates!

[wyetuck88]

Np!!! oh yes I am also thinking of making a ladder chassis. But I am thinking of making it like the real thing with aluminum C brackets...

the Problem I face working without clamps is when the blade is stuck at the gaps the whole material moves with the blade like a huge chopping machine...Trick is to squeeze and release the trigger in one second intervals and its very important to move in a straight line. well, if you have a clamp then everything should be easier.

[oceanic]

Nicely done!

[boolean21]

yo bro...

where did you buy this?



the "yoke to yoke" adapter? is it a 5mm rod that you use to link up from the motor to the pinion?

thanks
