buildin a big one

[rednekcrwlr]

as requested, i have pics of the chassis with a transmitter and the engine in, about where it will go. and yes it does fit in through the top as well! oh yeah, the fuel tank (custom made), battery, reciever and all that jazz will go on the other side to help with weight distribution.

Hmm, big, but not unreasonable. Are you setting it up for 2 or 4WD?

[rednekcrwlr]

settin it up for 2 wheel, i'm really building it to play on my farm with, should be barrels of fun in a 70 acre feild! i'll mess around the house with it to, but i'll only be able to really open it up at the farm.

I know you mean outside but when I read this I got a vision of 20lb of RC missile flying through the house, literally through walls, smashing everything. What's the plan for steering? I've seen a build somewhere similar to this where a guy used windshield wiper motors for steering, wired into a regular servo, or something.
