Thanks for the video! And no servos in sight!!! I think you need a moving driver to top this off! "thumbsup"
That just looks amazing. Agreed, a driver and some good film work and you'd never know it was RC.
Thank you.
I have been preparing the driver, but it's not moving. ;-)
In my design, the 20cm height doll is the best size. But there is no action doll in the toy market. I have been making it, look forward to finish. "thumbsup"

Some details are uploaded.
Shocks were changed to coil over types.
And the winch for vehicle height adjustment was begun to use. Its working is very well. "thumbsup"
Initial height.
Down posture.
The reinforcement component was added.
And the drive shaft was changed to the dog born type shaft.
The rear sway bar was installed.
But it is almost imitation. :mrgreen:
Back mirror.

Building floor was finished.
I gave up making foot pedals. ;-)
Drivers can sit on driver seat same as real driving position because floor is almost flat. "thumbsup"
Radiator was installed.
Room mirror stopped working.
Dummy radiator core block.
Fans are dummy, too. :mrgreen:
Inside cover is a metal mesh.

Very very very nice rig! I have a question though about the steering which I am sure your getting tired of everyone asking about it. I would like to know how the line is attached at the cylinder.I see how the two lines go in at each end but how are they attached inside? Is it just tied together in the center of the tube, or what? Thanks.
Inside mechanism is here. I use only one wire because inside space of the cylinder is too tight.
Good luck.

More amazing detail. The vids were great. This rig seriously is a TOP BUILD!"thumbsup"
Thank you. Next steps will be electronics and FPV camera. "thumbsup"
Love love love that steering! "thumbsup"
The rest is pretty good too. :ror:

My steering system needs a periodical maintenance. Replacement of the wire may be required for 1 time per 3 days driving.
Now, my bug is done full overhau.
Some updates.
Several joint were repared.
Pins and coupleings were chiped off.
The dog bone was exchanged to a drive shaft with universal joints.
It's very smooth rotating. "thumbsup"
I started to make tires bigger diameter.
2 block lines were increased on Frat Iron 1.9.
Outer Diameter of it is 114mm, stock size is 107mm.
White letters are cool. :twisted:

FPV system was installed. :twisted:
FMD has 2 axis sensor and detects pan and tilt.
Wireless camera has 3 active degree of freedoms and can be controlled by the HMD.
Posture sensor and CPU on the camera's base.
The CPU can control and keep the camera always horizontally against vehicle's moving.
Movie is here.
Driving by using camera view was too difficult because its view angle was small and camera was always shaking by signal noise.
But it's fun! "thumbsup"
