how to contact you?

Overlander

I am very interested in trying to build something of this nature and I clicked in your profile to email you but it said you don't accept, and would LOVE to get in contact with you with some questions and for some guidance on the servo/speed controller..

How can I get in touch with you via email?

Hello Overlander,
your instruction is realy very good. In germany it's like a sickness to build the 1/87 cars.

My english pages of www.mikromodell.de are still under construction, but I try to translate my pages from german language to english. Maybee one day there is also a instruction availible.

It's realy dont't nessesary to build a brass driveline, but it's nice to have one. So you can better fix the frontaxle and the gearbox on a robust frame.

best regards

Thorsten

Hey Overlander, cute baby!

Those trucks look awesome.

I have a third truck to build. It has tandem rear axles. I am going to build the Ford C-cab as a 2wd. The second truck as a 4wd. The third as a 6wd. I just have to finish my NASCAR first.

I am going to school for work for the next month. I'm not at home during the week so it is going to take a while.

Thanks for all the help and info. Now I just need to find a MAN Paris to Dakar truck.

Here is a pic showing the differnce in size between the Unimog and the MAN 5 ton. The MAN has about twicw as much room as the Unimog and will be the perfect truck for someone to build first.

Buy the front axle...

If you can't or dont want build your own front axle, find a "Faller Car System" vehical by a German company called Faller.

These little HO scale cars have a steering front axle that is perfect for a beginners to make an off road truck out of.

See a later post below for the link........




Binary Terror,
Bodies can be found at most HO train stores. Ask for manufacturers like:

Roco
Wiking
Faller
Etc.

Faller Car System

The Faller Car System vehicals have many of the parts you need to build your first TTTT.

A steerable front axle
A 6mm diameter motor
Worm gear set
On/Off switch

Here is a link to learn more:
http://www.reynaulds.com/faller/car_system.html

The gear ratio is vey high so they are better for street driving than for off road trials. But you can add gears to increase the ratio.

They are NOT remote control!

If you follow the link you would see what the faller car system does.

Quote from the link:

The Faller Car System is the name for a fascinating technical innovation for modellers! The integral motor drives the vehicle along, powered by rechargeable batteries, while a steerable front axle guides the vehicles through the streets, using a specially strong magnet mounted on a triple steering link on the front axle, to actually steer the vehicles along the roads.

Oh I didn't read that part correctly. Can you fit one of these devices in a 1/87 Hummer?

for those of you, like myself, in awe of overlanders amazing little rc...

...and who would like to try your hand at it yourself, i have found a good place to get the roco minitanks. the online stores tend to have high sh charges so i looked further. i found a nice person on ebay who sells these little trucks;
48vw or Rudolf Zerr @ rzerr@dccnet.com
he has a large stock, much more reasonable sh charges and has promply replied to several emails. i will be getting two trucks very soon (one in case i really f things up on the first one) so i can try my hand at making one of these little wonders.
