Very nice build you got there. Just curious as to why you are using
mechanical speed controllers insed of esc? Using an esc would power all motors thus saving tons of space for your other wiring job. Maybe there a reason for using msc that I not seeing.

I have had some 12 V ESC, but I´m useing small car Batteries. They get loaded with 14,5 Volt. And so both ESC burned ! 100 bugs!
One MSC -> 5 bugs

They got 3 Steps.
I changed the resistants. (they are blown away, too)

Only if I drive slow,
1st Switch, the resistants are used.
Batt. -> Resistant -> Engine 1 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Resistant -> Engine 2 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Resistant -> Engine 3 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Resistant -> Engine 4 -> Batt.

2nd Switch: Batt. -> Engine 1 -> Engine 2 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Engine 3 -> Engine 4 -> Batt.

3rd Switch: (full throttle) Batt. -> Engine 1 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Engine 2 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Engine 3 -> Batt.
Batt. -> Engine 4 -> Batt.

Didn't know you're using a small car battery. That's a first time I heard of. Makes sense now. Props to you man for building an awesome machine.

Oliver · 02-01-2010, 12:04 PM

I filled the wooden body and grindet it. The frame is now painted black.

Oliver · 02-01-2010, 12:11 PM

How does it look?

I´m mot sure about the colour. What do you think?

I like the Skyline paint on it´s back.

If someone wants to be creative here is the first sketch

rj_dio · 02-01-2010, 01:45 PM

Fantastic!

Oliver · 02-04-2010, 11:42 AM

Has nobody got another Idea to colour my Truck ?

DrunkDriver · 02-04-2010, 11:47 AM

Its a fire truck so it has to be mostly red. Not many choices there. . .

Its a fantastic work of craftsmanship, you should be proud!
