Orlandoo 1/35 Trail Truck Build Thread

[johninderby]

Just needs paint but due to very limited hobby time at the moment will have to wait a bit longer. Hopefully in about a month or so will be able to get back to it along with all the other projects that have been put on hold. Selling a house and moving are a real pain.

I have a second kit that's going to be fitted with a 1/24 Landy 109 body.

I already have that 109, but have shortened it to fit a micro DT..

Good model tho.. The roof is a separate piece, so you can make it open top, or canvas, pickup, Bob etc... if you want..

Good luck with the house..

Luv Chrisie.. xx

Is this fast enough (150rpm)

I'm now running a 400 rpm motor and it's still not fast, merely fast enough.

A few mm I'll need cutting off the motor shaft though to fit.

Ok cheers. Obviously don't need all out speed but faster than a snail would be good

It's good to see Hk stocking these now too

It probably hits 2 mph flat out now which is OK for a tiny crawler.

The most important part of the build I found is getting the axle assemblies running perfectly. If the diffs don't turn smoothly and easily it will judder and lurch all over the place.
