New Project!

[Espeefan]

This a really cool build. I've seen the Blocher kits, and I always thought they were nice. I am sure those kits inspired you, and there is nothing wrong with that! I like the simple, clean, and functional chassis design. Those gearmotors have a definite advantage over the ones used in the Blocher kits. I like how the output shaft is centered in the planetary head. Where did you find motors like these? Are they as powerful, or more powerful then the ones that the Blocher kits run?

Thankyou for the kind words, its very much based on the Blocher kit although not an exact copy

I'm yet to find out if the motors are strong enough
I posted where to get them earlier in the thread, they were quoted as 2.6kg/cm
I don't know what torque the Blocher ones have, I think they are made by Modelcraft.

Not much of an update, I made a new bottom plate for the rear, I wasn't happy with the original, also got the lift servo mounted, will swap this for a high torque one later, some goodies arrived so I fitted the lower bearing for the swivel:







Will start on the rear motor tubes whilst waiting for more stuff to arrive.

Thanks for looking
