Talking

I should say our, mine and my dad's. It's an aftermarket chasis for the Tamiya Clod Buster by New Era. It has the full roll cage and suspension treatment, no cantilever suspension. I love my spelling. Anyway, it is 15 inches long, 15 inches tall and the track is 15 inches wide. At least it was. The wheelbase is now 16 inches long. The other two dimensions stay the same. In the end, it will be a total of 24 inches long. Aluminium wheels and limited run tires designed for dirt pulls. The lowest the ground clearence is 2 inches. The highest is 4.5 inches. It will be able to crawl over an object that is 9 inches tall. And still have the other three wheels on regular height ground. It is four wheel, two motor drive. It comes with a kit to lock out the four wheel steering, but with a wheel base that long, we can't do that now can we. Ok we can but we don't want to. So we will have four wheel steering taken on by two servos. It will be four channel so each steering servo will be independent of each other. Then comes the body. I don't wanna say too much, but there will be at least 56 lights on it. I can tell you where they are all going later if someone wants.
well thats all I have to write about it for now.
Later.

we are redoing the suspension so our behemouth will be even bigger than before. the wheel base will be 23 inches instead of the stock 15 that the chasis is supposed to. that is 230 inches scale. As soon as its done ill post a picture of it, hopefully with some of my other ones too.
