Well, I thought I'd better post something up, been lurking for ages..
This is my latest project.
It started out as a rescued Carlson 1/8 truggy, with no engine, and a few other bits missing or broken.
I was determined to spend as little as possible and incorporate as many bits that I had floating about in the shed into it.
It now has an OS 50 SX-H helicopter engine, an old skysport 4 (40mhz) tranny and receiver (a couple of spare channels.. hmmmn.. winch? lights?) a custom built exhaust (yeah,, sorry, but it works) and heat sink and as many bits as I could bodge to fit.
The most difficult bit to get right was the clutch.
The old OS motor has a 1/4 shaft, without the tapping for the end screw.. just a single 1/4 nsp thread all the way along.
And the throttle linkage was a laugh too, no idle screw on the carb.
Anyway, a few pictures to amuse..
