Also, try Vimeo for storing/linking videos. It's much more simpler than youtube and they don't hassle you aboot copyright laws for music that you *may* embed.

Thanks I ended up switching arms so now he steers with his right hand so he can hold on to the roll age when driving.

The stock wheel is too big anyway IMO...



I made this wheel from 3/8" brakeline, formed around a large socket wrench. The inside is 1/16" steel sheet. Braze it together and clean it up, then polish the spokes and paint the rim flat black. Looks like a cheap steering wheel from J.C. Whitney!

I've gotta do the body servo someday. The General turning his head to match looks great!

I think something else is a bit big so you just made the steering wheel proportionate to match.
