[[email protected]]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

after lokking at the list of cars that is on this link i have decided to make it a nissan 300zx

p.s. the lis tis about halfway down
p.p.s. if anyone knows where i can get a nissan 1986 skyline similar to this



how do i get it so its a picture and not a link

Sounds like an interesting project, I know when I did my 4x4x4 truck it wasn't easy getting everything to work proporally. But I think Darwinfish on XMF built a 4x4x4 car or he is in the process of building it.

Here is the link:

If your looking for an older Nissan Skyline...I would just eBay it...

this how i plan to mount the gear to a drive shaft
thx man

[FinalGear]

Would like to see you complete this project

[Bananabrain]

I can honestly say this would be easier on a truck chassis (since I have done it & it just seems to work better for bodies & because of how the motor & batteries have to be mounted) or on a Gen. 1 Chassis (Do to the fact the motor is in the middle of the chassis).

ok thx for the tip, im still going to try it this way
yes i have thought about tha batteries im not sure where im going to put them yet
but i need to get my model first so i know how long i need to make the chassis

first those of you who have made this happen what kind of elecs did u guys use, and what would u suggest that i would use?

I used stock electronics but since the board was never made to run two servos there was some slop in the steering but it can be solved with a multi-channel Transmittor & a electronics swap. You could probable PM kryten (he did a this set up) and he could probable give you some details on it.

[[email protected]]

and the body
does anyone have suggestions on paint color

[pimp32]

i say a dark red or a black should look good. do you still have to mount the body?

[Bananabrain]

Chassis is looking good, mounting the rear of that body may be a bit tricky.

cool i was thinking red or black also
well now i pretty much have to wait for some parts from xxx to get here along wit hmy other evo

Nice job making the mounts. Not bad for somebody first time making custom mounts.
