It's been a while since I've been on this site - sorry.Here is the updated build.
Scratched the other chassis design.
I started from scratch with one of the Zips I am doing the rear music string suspension mod to. And since I have been cutting a lot of plastic, I decided to try and finish this build.
The breakdown so far. I lucked out and found some plastic that had the right geometry for a c-hub (of course some dremmel and nailfiling had to be done), I used sewing needles for hinge pins, cut some strips of plastic for lower arms, and used a single piece of thin music wire for the upperlinks that double as the actual "shocks".
I didn't take many pics of the progress, I was being fairly productive with this part of the build.
Here ya go..... 8-)
I used a pinion gear from a clone bit, and stuck it on the Se servo shaft. It was pretty large, and close to the same diameter. I added a little more plastic above the upper link in the center. I then cut up a red ZZMT gear for the "servo horn", and used a tiny shoulder screw to keep it in place. Sewing needles are used for the tierods.
I may end up making my own steering knuckles, because I had already broken both of them off while fitting and test fitting the rods. CA to the rescue, but dealing with that stuff on this small of a scale just plain sucks.
