scratcher Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I got this Hudy setup station for a cheap price last week. I got to use it today and found out my settings were so uneven, haha. The steering was out, the toe was odd and all of the camber was different. It's all sorted now I just need to try it out. I got these tools as well. I'm told they're droop measuring devices but I have no idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Nice, hopefully you'll notice a real difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hopefully it'll drive in a straight line now. It always steered off to the left before, like the rear would kick out to the right. Probably a camber and/or toe issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Funny enough mine was steering to the left! My setup kit came earlier, I'll have to see how it line up later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Making some scale stuff The LEDs are pre wired to flash. Anyone know what I have to do, to get them to flash in time together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks, I'm making some street lights to. The plan is to make track sections with scale bits on. Also thinking of making a speed camera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I was going to make a speed camera a while ago. I wanted to make a trigger so if you hit a clipping point you'd get flashed. I drew up how to put a covert camera in it to take photos too but it got out of hand and I forgot about it. It'll be cool to see yours all set up. Is it for a home track?

Glenyboy Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Well I was going to do a Lino track in the garden, but it's a bit late in the year now. So I'm going to build some corner pieces over the winter ready for next year. I've been buying loads of LEDs, wiring and battery packs off of aliexpress. It's all dirt cheap and is at your door in a week. I thought about using this idea for a speed camera, using a motion sensorhttp://m.instructables.com/id/Re-purposing-an-Air-Wick-Freshmatic-Compact-i-Moti/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Evening guys. Hows all the drifters? Just had a read through this thread and I've gotta say, loving the trailers, tracks and cars. So what does everyone use to make their trailers? I fancy having a go. Also I've got an s15 body shell on its way that I'm impatiently waiting for. Its having anodised purple wheels on, it had to. Just gotta come up with a colour scheme for the body. Any ideas?

Glenyboy Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I used some soffit, soffit bracket and lollipop sticks for my trailer. I'll probably do another one made from alloy angle from b&q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Cheers. I've just been hunting round the house for bits to use. I think I've found my plan though. Using 6 or 8mm all thread bar welded together to make a frame then possibly a coloured perspex bed and ramps. You guys are bad influences lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've actually found forums are the worst places for driving you further into a hobby! You'll be buying a scale crawler once you've built the trailer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Haha I have a pickup body that was originally an off roader so will probably put that back to original and order the parts I need for my spare chassis. My poor bank lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might start it off again when I get a drifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Glenyboy. Have you got pictures of the whole trailer build? What did you use for axles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'll get a few pictures up later, I used bolts instead of an axle. I wanted to keep it low as possible so the wheels are above the trailer deck on brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Quality. That was what I was thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
