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 =)

making u-bolt

i bought a 1.4 metric die(M1.4 0.3mm pitch) to make u-bolts.

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

they're too fast...

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

working on the chassis & added some details on the roof

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
