Do you have any drawings?

Also can you tell me where you bought the tyres and foams?

Thankyou!

No drawings, only sketches with dimensions of the parts I want to make.
I am basing it on the MFZ Blocher kit, of which there are a few build threads on some German forums, with some very useful reference pics, along with my own design changes mainly to suit the materials to hand and my own limitations.

Tyres came from here, took me ages to find!: Tyres with foams

Got the other motor mount done:



Thanks for looking

Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for the information, tyres now on order

I'm watching this very closely

The machining looks within my abilities so might give it a go

I'm watching this closely, as I am thinking of buying a MFZ blocher kit for a future project (probably in 6 months to a year).

Good work, and nice model choice.

Thankyou, I've always liked JD's, I used to drive a 4255 years ago when I helped out on a farm.

Which Blocher kit are you thinking of?

This weeks progress:

I like it! What are your plans for the front? Similar setup I guess?

Thankyou, this is the front but yes the same setup for the rear, its the pivot assembly thats going to be tricky!

Cheers

Haha! Yeah I guess I should have noticed how far the plate stuck out the back. The pivot won't be hard, just have a few drinks, grab your drill and start boring holes. Keep the updates coming!
