1/6th scale 101st Airborne Jeep D-day
It lives! MAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Well Im happy to report that version SIX(!) got it working. The new motor /gearbox fitted perfectly then
after 10 minutes proceded to tear the transmission apart! After a few minutes of horrific language I took the decision to
use one of the transmissions I had put aside for the DUKW ( a 1/14 Tamiya truck transmission) All the cross members
I had put in to carry the meccano axles had to be cut out, a new drive shaft and two new universal couplings from good old
Techno bots were installed and it was time for the moment of truth.
The right wheel then fell off......
OK, Right wheel now stuck to shaft with Araldite.
Left wheel fell off.........
FU************************************K!
BOTH wheels now firmly stuck on and she went like a dream. Full circuit of the test track with no troubles,
no power surges now I'd fitted a proper aerial so a nice smooth run with no grinding noises or random bursts of speed!
For full sorry story just click the main picture.
