Desktop RC Truck (1:87 scale)

it's my first attempt in building a 1:87 scale rc. a cheap model truck from a local toy store. modified to fit all the electronic parts. it took me almost a month to complete everything.

@djdavies83 its alright. nice job with your build. keep it up. i have a msg for you in your Mercedes Coach to RC thread.

[jamiesowell]

great~

what kind of pcb do you use for this truck? thanks

[ianllana]

@jamiesowell tnx. good job with your builds. amazing. i used an esky RX from my lama and a hacked servo for the main drive.

please tell me the receiver and speed controller combo you used i really need to find a small one but i have had any luck finding one.... :(

[tusharpc]

very impressive build, im into HO trains, can you tell me about the RC receiver and tx? what type and source for parts?

thanks

[robthatguyx]

please do help ive wanted to make one of these for over a year now,how does this work as oposed to a normal reciver , parts ectect:D??

[ghfakar]

Just think, Ho model railroads with club members operating both trains and vehicles! The possibilities are endless> well not endless. But this plus maybe the addition of some mini rc cars nearby would be amazing. So far the smallest common rc cars seem to be the 1/64 coke can variety. But maybe someday 1/87? You are a genius. PERIOD!

Hi ianllana, when i saw this on rcgroups "members micro rides post them here" it inspired me to try my own, it's a 1:87 Mercedes coarch, got drive and 27mhz radio, steering will be hard, just need my servos to aarrive from china.

It's got a much higher ration and can spin out if I give it too much gas! are your wheels plastic too? I have an idea for grip.

see my ride in the "members micro rides post them here" thread.

oh and thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Ianllana, first saw this a few weeks ago on rcgroups

"members micro rides post them here"

it inspired me to try my own 1:87, it's going good so far, main drive from PicooZ gears and motor with servo hacked PCB, are your wheels palstic?

My Mercedes coach has a much higher ratio it wheel spins and spins out if I accelerate too fast, I may spary the plastic tires wit "Spray on plaster" I bought it to stop getting lemon and lime juice in cuts and found it really rubbery, should add grip.
