Got a lot of work done. Overcame a lot of obstacles too.

Realised that with the gen.1 front end I wouldn't be able to get and of the engine in..





Ditched that idea too..
Grabbed an old credit card, traced the gen.1 front end and cut it out. I realised I wouldn't need the front suspension or the shock towers etc. all I really need is the knuckles mounted somehow. I found some miniz AWD alloy knuckles lying around. Going to use those so I can simply incorporate the suspension on the knuckles like the miniz. Saves me a LOT of space.









Cut up the trunk and extended it with some more servo cases. Lol.
White outline is the original size.

Where it will be now.

Also had to sand off the bottom. To make it flush with the extension :sad:


Perfect fit.



I should be able to come up with a suitable steering setup tonight. Also, the credit card isn't permanent. Lol. Just to see if this kinda setup will work.
For electronics I'm gonna use a miniz board(smallest board I have. Lol), servo can either be a hi-tec 55 or a microT servo. Anybody have any suggestions on that?

Also, I need to a battery source for this thing. Anybody have any suggestions? a spare set of lipos/ AAA- liths they can donate? Lol

Because of the Peshawar attack, schools are closed. So should be working on this day n' night.
