Where do u get this light controller? And that lipo alarm?

 

[nigelpheron]

Search for "Heyok". He is a function-switch Guru. As for the lipo alarm, Hobbyking. I still gotta tame down the blue light from it though. bit of magic marker should do that. I removed the speaker alarm, so it's just the blue led (and finally red if I really run the bat down), that flicker when low.

Thanks for the mention.

Got a build thread for the course? I'm VERY interested in what it took to put this together. Looks to be model train scenery and stuff, how does it hol up with the micro crawlers running on it?

Here's a link.

Holds up good. Trees bend from being rolled on, and then just bend them back.

Awesome! Thank you.

Well, nearly done this build.

I got a driver figure all modded. I call her Jubbly Jenny, for obvious reasons. Whilst sweeping up my living quarters of airsoft pellets, I noticed two beside each other, and had an idea. The pellets are made of styrene, so they naturally bonded to the upper front torso.

Handling suffered a bit from the added top-heaviness, so a bit more lead was added to the wheels.

I just have to finish painting her, take some final pics, and learn how to edit a cool vid. then this build will be finito!

What an amazing build sir. I think you have just inspired me to start a mini project.

Do it! And make a diorama to crawl in. I pretty much crawl with it everyday, whilst supper is cooking.

Got Jenny all painted up. Eyes aren't done, but I'm waiting for decals. The first driver went in the garbage, after I attempted to hand-paint the wee eyes..

I'm so happy this build is prit near done. Slowly been ticking build to-do's for a while. Completion is good (except for a cool vid, and maybe some tools in the back...

Sold! Picked up a trekker from my LHS yesterday. I had hesitated picking it up way too many times, but now I have no excuse. "thumbsup"

Interesting challenge...I might.

Incredible job on the scaler and the terrain, looks excellent. What material did you use for the cage. Thanks

 

[nigelpheron]

It's all styrene. Some of the tight bends are done with hollow styrene tube, with brass rod inside.

 

[JatoTheRipper]

Wow! This is a work of art. You went above and beyond on the details.

Your course is just as awesome.

 

[nigelpheron]

Thank you for your encouraging words.

Making some wee goods for it now. Here's the jack:

One of the best builders in the micro world. Keep it up. We want sum videos tho! Of the whole course! Make them long!
