Thinking BIG

I'll be working on a Monster Bit. It will be using two chassis to get it working. Large tires in front and back. Three cells to power the two motor mounts and steering. I'll Send pics when I can. Post any comments for assitsance.

Thats whats going in.

hey, i'm always up for improving mine and the motorized steering would be VERY interesting if there was a way to get it to work. I also thought of 4wd but can't think of a logical solution so that the front steering would still work.

Here is my monstor-g:

Sweeeet!!!! Great job on that monster truck! What are the dimensions on that thing?

oh wow.. that thing looks HUGE on the first pic. hahha, i didnt see the second pic, but when i was looking at the first one, i was thinking.. is this a 1/12 scale r/c? hahahaha. then i seen the second one. good job on it. it looks sweet. how did you shave the fenders to be so huge like that? i've tried.. just ended up with really really ovalized/square shaped fenders. then tried melting it round, with a solder iron, it didnt work.

oh yea.. most important question.. does it turn?

I TRIED TO DO THIS IT WOULDN'T MOVE VERY WELL
IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED BY ABOUT 1 INCH SO THAT WHEELS DIDN'T TOUCH & TO GET IN 2 MORE CELLS
BUT WHEN I PUT WHEELS ON IT WOULD NOT MOVE WITH OUT A PUSH & STEERING WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE
I TOOK OFF FRONT WHEELS SO IT LOOKED LIKE A TRACTOR PULLER BUT IT WAS STILL SLOW TO START & DIDN'T STEER VERY WELL SO I GAVE UP WITH THEM WHEELS COS THEY ARE TOO HEAVY
NEXT I FOUND SOME SMALLER WHEELS & MADE IT LOOK LIKE A DRAGSTER
IT WORKED BETTER BUT STILL DIDN'T TURN RIGHT
I STILL HAVE BITS READY TO DO MONSTER TRUCK BUT COS IT DIDN'T DO SO GOOD I AM JUST GONNA HAVE A FAST LIMMO UNTILL I GET IT TO WORK

My wheels are relly not heavey But my truck has two working motor mounts with a top gear setup going to the 2 gear set that conects to the drive wheels. But I'm trying to think how to do stage two the steering and how to get the wheels on with relly screwed up steering knuckles.

Need a body

hey baggy do you know how many internet etiquette rules you have broken by typing in allcaps? ok well just one the don't type in allcaps rule. the internet police have been sent to your house. have a nice day. other than that i hope that you can finally figure out your monster truck you should try some more powerfull gears.

baggy · #11 01-28-2003, 06:07 PM

There is a rule about having all your words in upper case. Well 50% of stage two is completed but I don't have the left side parts to finish. big bummer. I think I know why it won't work right now. Its because one contact wasn't touching. Oops.
