Sorry it's just over 11 kgrs heavy. What kind of motor/s will make it run? Any
advice is greatly appreciated.

So, these are the photos I promised. I still have to work on the suspension
of the other side. but just to give you an idea. it seems to me like a heavy
construction . I doubt that two 12 Volt drills can make this 7 kgr heavy thing
roll and run. I better go with two 18 Volt drills - one on every rear wheel-
and see what happens.
It'll be sightly lighter if the ply walls were made out of 4 mm thick
aluminium sheet.

I've finally built a Daimler as 1:6 , 77 cms long and about 7 kgrs heavy
with batteries (12V, 7 A).
It is built around pneumatic wheels and the front parts is hinged to the
rear and suspended. It is temporarily constructed out of 15 cm thick plywood
and I hope to eventually have it built out of 4mm thick laser cut aluminium.
My question is: Are the 7 kgrs going to run on 12 V, 14.4 or 18 Volt right
angle drills at 400-500 RPM and 1200-1500 RPM (fast gear) ? This translates to
15 kms/h and 45 kms/h with 80% performance on the motors. Anybody knows if it
is going to "jump" a little over bumps and do stunts ? with the fast gear I am
supposed to have all teh speed I want, but very little torque.
If not, I will consider mounting a gas engine. I'll post images during teh
weekend.
