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

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

<P>made a paper mockup before building a brass gearbox</P>
<P>im gonna use two geared motors for this project, bcuz the chevy weighs more than my h1 and the raito of the motors is 30:1. it needs more power, maybe i should've used lower speed motors to get torque though, i want speedy motors as well. i'll try these first. wth :D</P>
<P> </P>
<P>i cut off the ends of the bolts for mounting shackles to make them shorter. they were kinda long before</P>
<P> </P>
<P>i've got bolts to mount these geared motors. it was hard to get them, bcuz the size is not regular</P>
<P>i mounted the motors successfully anyways</P>

<P>working on the chassis</P>
<P> </P>
<P>i bent the frame rails with bending pliers, some sand, and a torch<br />at this time, i'm using smaller bolts & nuts. i bought them at an optician´s. they are small but strong enough.<br />i will use two geared motors for this rig.<br /></P>
<P>now im using only four leaf springs but i'll add more. because the body and the stuff are heavier than i thought</P>
<P> </P>
<P>and i added some details on the roof</P>

<P>i started a new project. it should be a long journey. cause 1/35 scale ft-17's are way too small. sigh~</P>
<P>i have been searching small rc stuffs for my ft-17. </P>
<P>the renault ft-17 is meaningful in tank history. the first tank with an armament in a fully rotaying turret! </P>
<P><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_FT-17" target=_blank><FONT color=#3058d2>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_FT-17</FONT></A></P>
<P> </P>
<P>there're many variations of ft-17's though, i feel like to build that one in french version. plus ww1... maybe lol</P>
<P>i have researched many documents, drawings, vids, pics, etc.</P>
<P>i don't like tanks actually. but small and cute ones are acceptable lol</P>
<P> </P>
<P>i like this pic </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><IMG class=tx-daum-image style="CLEAR: none; FLOAT: none; CURSOR: pointer" hspace=1 src="http://cfile204.uf.daum.net/image/14299A10499D72EF80491E" width=600 vspace=1 border=0 isset="true" actualwidth="600"></P>
<P> </P>
<P>and i'd like to paint my ft17 like this below.</P>
<P>this camouflage should be becoming to my ft17</P>

<P>i had to drill through them one by one. i can tell you it was absolutely a lot of work</P>
<P> </P>
<P>and roadwheels and suspension</P>

<P> ft17 tanks have leaf springs for suspension, though i couldn't help but choose coil ones T^T. plz don't ask why </P>

<P>i bought the rpm model kit and the metal track on ebay, even though the exchange rate is bloody high. </P>
<P>out of stock at all shops in s. korea!!! errrrrr</P>
<P>guess how much i paid for them. if you came to know the grand total, probably you would say "are you nuts?" lol</P>
<P>my concern is that i need to buy rc stuff more (-.- +)</P>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503240516222634749.post-38546775644152734742010-01-14T18:37:00.000+09:002011-01-11T21:59:44.156+09:00SSMT 1/32 scale Ford F-350[Apr-15th, 2009]
