I am mind blown by the amount of model work and technical work that's gone into this build. Thanks for sharing this Jonny.

Thanks for the extensive explanation of the way you've decided to wire the model for steering and the thought process that went into it. Any idea how the 1:1 steers? I'd guess that skid steering is not necessary on snow so they probably just steer by driving the gimbal angle between cabs. As long as there was a differential between the left and right side tracks, it should steer OK with this method.

AFAIK its' just 2 hydraulic rams that steer the real thing, see the clips at www.bv206.co.uk...to-operate :blink:

JR, you could mount two scale dampers and then fit outer/inner travel limiters so the two track can not touch.
And maybe then fit wires at each end to mimic hydraulic hoses? |

Jonny, I really like what you have done, and would love to see this running on a video... For sure it will be amazing!
I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

Without seeing a wiring diagram (trying to picture it in my head), but I'd imagine that supplying power to the servo connection would essentially power on the ESC as you've bypassed the switch.... You'd think the ESC would/should have some kind of protection in place though.

Appreciate the offer I had planned to make the link between the two pods a bit less obvious than it is, primarily with some sort of capping / boxing in of the front link – but TBH it’s difficult to see how it wouldn’t make it look more bogus & wrong than it does ATM. It would have to be in thin steel to cope with the stresses, styrene just wouldn’t cut it. At least at present it’s a honest If you look at the 1:1 pic, the steering rams are pretty much hidden, and only the third one on top (controlling vertical angle changes between the cabs) is really visible. I will see what I can do about at least hiding the visible threads though Attachments: |
