Davy Crockett Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Mine arrived last week. As others have commented, small and fiddly! Very enjoyable build though. One of my shock shafts was a bit deformed and despite sanding, sticks a bit and needs further attention. Instructions are totally Chinese, not even token chinglish translation still, interesting build! almost done, few bits to complete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Got the led's wired tonight. pretty much stuck until painted though. Also got a mini bridge finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nice looking truck! this is the 100rpm motor I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Glad to see some more of these show up here at last. Couple of upgrades for my Landy conversion on this chassis. Losi micro alloy shocks and micro hex screws. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nice one John, I saw you'd refered to the Landy as 1/24, I take it your converting this 1/35 chassis to 1/24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 No real conversion needed as the 1/24 Landy wheelbase and wheel track are very, very close to the 1/35 Orlandoo. Maybe the 1/35 isn't actually 1/35? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Awesome! Are you changing the Orlandoo wheels to something else? As in are there other options out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The wheels are the tricky part. I would like "stock" steel type wheels instead of the Orlandoo ones. Hopefully will be able to find some the same diameter as the Orlandoo ones and fit the outer part of the stock wheels onto the Orlandoo ones.

Hammy Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 I made a start on painting last night, still quite a way to go yet though should come out quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) really liking the look of this. Metallic blue and chrome goes nicely. Should look like it just rolled out the factory. i need to find a couple of scale ford badges! excuse the wires, I need to dig the old iron out to shorten them.

Davy Crockett Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nice looking build! Good to see some different colours have you got any advice or info on the tiny led wiring pal? I used my own for the main lights rather than the kit ones but not got round to looking at the slim ones yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see some different colours have you got any advice or info on the tiny led wiring pal? I used my own for the main lights rather than the kit ones but not got round to looking at the slim ones yet I worked from the Chinese instructions lol both 4mm and the tiny led's are fed from the esc. take care of the polarity. when I did the tiny led's I stripped the outer insulation off quite far so I didn't have to fiddle with tiny wire, between them. soldered one on the end and one at where the insulation started again. hard to explain and I didn't take a pic (I did take a pic lol, you can see it above in the Stanley blade) I'm afraid but the link between led's is the same continuous wire like a train track with the led's as sleepers. hope that helps Edited November 28, 2015 by Hammy Because I'm a fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 I dug the soldering iron out last night, in an effort to clear the cab area of wires/Rx/and battery so work can commence on a dash and seat. the battery is now lying down on the chassis rather than sideways as shown in an effort to keep the CoG down.

Hammy Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Made a start on an interior tonight coming along nicely!! Deciding wether to bench seat it or do two separates. Edited November 29, 2015 by Hammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Chopped the sun roof out. contemplating replacing all the glazing tbh as its so thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looking good mate. Dash looks cool simple but effective. Did anyone look at the Integy motor I saw. It looks more like the losi brushless motor. May not fit tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Like the way the interior is coming along. Maybe on mine I could move the electrics into the bed with a cover. The motor and gearbox fit inside a moulded section in the chassis with a moulded upper part that clamps everything in place so they have to be exactly the same dimensions.

Hammy Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks! i came to a standstill really because with out a driver for reference, It might not look right. so it'll do for now until a driver comes, then I'll carry on. Or start again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't take much to convert one of these drivers. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Miniart-Scale-WWII-Drivers-Plastic-Model/dp/B003KIRHB4/ref=sr_1_29?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1449441017&sr=1-29&keywords=1+35+scale+figures JohN Edited December 6, 2015 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch101 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've just ordered one of these. Won't get built straight away but it can sit on shelf till I get time too build it. Handy for playing with cats around the house on them rainy days when nothing is happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
