when you say strengthened the suspension, do you mean that the vehicle can hold more weight or that you made the suspension itself more secure preventing it from moving about when the vehicle is weighed down? from what i see, is this a 2 wheel drive vehicle or 4 x 4? other wise it's starting to look interesting chris In a message dated 3/2/2014 10:00:26 A.M.

News from the FTF after this winter build - With T055 , T068 & T088 now fitted with NERF capability, Attention is moved to the FOX. Even at 12v the FOX moves along quite quickly ( 4-5 MPH at a guess ). Its plastic framework is lightweight yet rugged enough to cope with the demands . I have been driving with a 12ah SLA but I see no reason not to use 5ah in future since I have plenty of them. I`ll do a video next week of its performance on grass @12v then @18v. 1, The first picture shows the basic frame that one of my students donated almost a year ago. the rc was missing, the steering servo duff , the suspension system in a bad way & the battery was shot. 2, Second picture - I positioned a new rc + turning servo and strengthened the suspension. that mid section takes a 12ah SLA perfectly. 3, I can now lazer cut (almost) any shape I can dream up so all the pieces that make this shape are on file so I can make as many as I require. the fox has a large section between the wheels ( not built yet ) where I`ll place the battery's , keeping the ctr of gravity as low as possible. 4, With RC gear fitted this machine drives very nicely , I can see this FOX has the possibility at making a trip to MAG land one day. Next the turret. Neil R -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
