hydralics on models

any one here on this site get into putting hydralics on there models. i have did a couple, i find it kinda fun. it's neat to see these little things hopping off the tables/ or floors. here are the 2 that i have done... the truck has really taken a beatin though, it's has so much glue holding it toghther now. every time i play with it, i break something.

right now neither one of them have what i need to make them work. so there is no pictures of them in action.. you take a moter, and put a gear on it. then you take a piece of hevy duty string and hook it up to the the motor, and then to the wheels (axle). that's what i need, the string.. after a little bit of playing with it the line breaks. maybe i can go git some and get a movie up for you guys. jason

Have you thought of trying some fishing line?

thats sooo cool looking, i would like to try some thing with air bags.

i like how that looks. the truck. any war you can make a video?

cool looking models!:D

silver, the fishing line whould not work... it needs to be very strong, but in the same time very flexible... i have tried the fishing line and i had two problems, one even with the stongest test line i could find, it kept breaking. and two, the line is extremley hard to wire up, it just don't like to coperate.

browncivic... the truck does it all, i have it set up to where the bed spins (and let me tell you when i really get it going the hole truck starts to lift off the table, it pritty neat), and i have full control over all for wheels, i can have it do three wheel, hope the rear, or the front, or sit it completly on the ground. it don't drive though, since i came to af i have learned how to get them to move, so maybe that will be one of my next attempts....
