sure ... but i need to sort out the images and bring them online one of these days.

there is a new video of our trial outs, altough the controller is not fully performing to my idea it runs (might relpace it later.)

after the video has been added :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CO8gHNwOqw&feature=channel_video_title

front window, front lights, rear lights , guard rails ,done almost all electrics (inclmuding a new type of thortle pedal)
now working the last mechanical part (rear canvas frame) and then all can be sanded down,detailed and repainted.

i'll add pictures soon  !

cheers,
Luc

Hey Luc, that looks fantastic. shame there is nothing there to show how big it is though, it could almost be real size depending on the trees at the side.

Grandad, when will it be ready ? :).

Looking  very 8)

I enjoyed watching the video's too.

Saw you are experimenting for building a Hagglund, looking forward to seeing that, the motors make the right noise too!!

@steve, yes indeed , nothing to reference too ... that was actually the intention more or less :P, only the fence give a clue .

@luvbus, yes I'm planning the hagglund , all parts are in , designs are ready but i cannot find 50wheels rubber with ball bearing for an affordable price ... cheapest i've found where 7euro a piece ; that's still 350 without shipment :(

hence we do plan other build in the mean time, patient can save you a lot of money , maybe i find a bulk of wheels in the junk yard one of these weeks .

I'm still fighting the truck's controller,I had a chat with a friend and these salvaged controllers come from a factory robot wagon, they where designed to pull up slow and stall if anything was blocking it ...hence the uphill issues .

w'll see , it rolls so tuning can be done in a later time.

cheers,

Luc
