SSMT 1/32 scale Ford F-350

[Apr-15th, 2009]

mini-z pcb, micro servo, and 54:1 ratio geared motor...
soldering is hard for me yet >.< anyways...
the stock fets(3004) on the pcb didn't work, so i changed them with different ones(sp8m4). the mortor and the servo work well so far.
the wires look kinda long...

my new project : SSMT 1/32 scale Ford F-350

brass chassis and shackles


<how to bend brass tube>
we need brass tubes, tube bender pliers, pliers, a torch, pieces of wood(chop sticks would be good), and sand

block one end of a brass tube with a small wood piece
fill the brass tube with sand fully
block the other end with a small wood piece as well

heat the tube with torch until it turns in red
(it's very hot, wear gloves before doing this)

bend that with bender pliers slowly
repeat heating & bending and you would get nicely bent brass tubes





making eyes of leaf springs with pliers



i modified my ssmt axles shorter. because the wheel base of 1/32 f-350 body is very short



quck mockup
the body is from tamiya 1/32 juggernaut ford f-350
the tires are from tamiya 1/32 isuzu mu
