Toylander centre steer prototype?
« on: 14 September, 2009, 09:29:02 AM »


Yee Haa !!!

Still not finished modifying our original T2, but just had a superb result this weekend.

Where I work, there is a mobility shop and they have sold me some parts to do the original T2, but after they had a little fire in their building, I saw 2 mobility cars with suspension. I contacted their mechanic and asked if they were scrap and if so any chance of having them. Two days later he had dropped them off at the station and only wants a drink for them. Result

My plan is now to finish the front and rear suspension on the orignal T2.

And then .......

See if I can make a T2a using the independant suspension chassis and make a body out of aluminium, which should reduce the weight of the vehicle. This new one I make  centre steer as the Land Rover prototype was (makes the steering easier to do also). Both mobility cars are complete with lights controls etc, but I may use a 4QD controller as one is dodgy.

This new version I will be taking lots of photos which I did not do with the still unfinished one.
What do we think? Possible ?

Hi Andre,
Sounds like you've got more jam than Robinsons!!

Well done on your aquisition, sounds as if you've got it all worked out, so go for it!

As has been said many times, there's no such thing as a 'Standard' Toylander.

Keep Busy,
Regards,
Mark.
Bloke with too much time on his hands!
