finished the wheels & the hull
the parts of the hull were bent when i opened the model kit and i had to straighten them with boiled water. unfortunately i fried one of them. so i cut it off and put some of white styrene on it
making the wheels work smoothly was too hard for me.
this is quick mokcup

Challenge for 1:43 scale Land Rover Defender

I've got two Diecast models of Defender.
One of them is 1:43 Defender.
This is a huge challenge and I'm not sure if I could finish this project.
But I'm gonna try~ lol
Got micro ESC things and servo last week tho, didn't take pics of them yet.
Even though it is 1/43 scale, I will make this 4x4 crawler. Wish me luck =)

finished the chassis & made tires narrow

i finished the chassis

u-bolts & more leaf springs give less wheel travel tho, i like the chassis

however those tires are not that soft. the compound is rubbery though not soft enough. so i made the tires of tamiya 4x4 mini truck narrow. these are pretty soft

the picture below shows 5 kinds of tires, it is just my opinion tho.

 

let me show how to make tires narrow

new tires and the chassis

these are soft enough, when i press the chassis, the tires look pressed. good =)

i like it. it's easy to make u-bolts

i used 1.5mm brass round stick

the test of 100:1 geared motor & drive shaft

i like 100:1 geared motors. they're like snails tho, have more torque
finished a flexible drive shaft. it's better than solid one. no more clicking while it's working
