Ya noisy too. But thats what you get when you put 9 volts intact 3volt motor.

Re: More than just a thought ...
 

I doubt the 1:1 is running whisper technology ;), the wow factor is just as great noisy or not! :cool::cool:

Re: More than just a thought ...
 

Chassis parts ordered. Control units ordered, some recieved. a week or so waiting for parts but then some good progress should happen.

My next step is to distract my self by adding details to the cab - hope to find a shop with a router for blanks... styrene though.

Re: More than just a thought ...
 

Design update. Headlights, step pockets.

Re: More than just a thought ...
 

or something:D

Re: More than just a thought ...
 

Hmm I hate waiting for parts.

Ordered from 4 places on Sunday
ebay - horizon hobby - recieved on Tuesday
ebay - liquid rc - still not recieved
robot market place - still not recieved
servo city - recieved Wednesday
ordered from McMaster Carr on Thursday before 2pm recieved Friday

I guess some want our business others not so much. - maybe we are an inconvenience. .....
