they're too fast...

i ordered geared motors(gear ratio 100:1) anyway...

ommo

working on the chassis

i bent the frame rails with bending pliers, some sand, and a torch
at this time, i'm using smaller bolts & nuts. i bought them at an optician´s. they are small but strong enough.
i will use two geared motors for this rig.

now im using only four leaf springs but i'll add more. because the body and the stuff are heavier than i thought

and i added some details on the roof

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
