Eachine make a Mini F22 Raptor prop yet that I could convert to a drone using the standard X configuration drones. That should make it more straight forward and give me more drone options.

No, I would need a flight controller for that. Looks like the KISS FC V2 controller is right for the job. Not really expensive so far given both boards cost around £30 each. A receiver won't be that much either. And Tiny Whoop brushless motors. Not as straight forward as I hoped though lol

After looking around I found a 4-in-1 controller board (racerstar rs20ax4) that works in + orientation. What about gyro stabilization though for indoor flight?

I have one of those indoor F22 jets that is powered by a drone. Had it for years and I still use it! I just want to use a hobby grade transmitter for better precision control. I could swap the drone out, but the configuration of the drone is different to all other drones, as you can see in the picture. Any ideas?

There is a business in the US where you send them your plastic gears and they replicate them in a metal of your choice: https://gearsmade.com/ That's an awesome service if you can't find off the shelf metal gear replacements for your car, tank or truck, etc. Anyone know if there is such a service in the UK? I want to replace my 1/24 Vstank plastic gears with brass ones now that it has metal tracks and drive sprockets.

Interior and body coming along nicely. Made a front grill where I will install 2 halo lights. Will look nice when it's chromed. Also found a smaller supercharger for 1/8 scale.

You would hope so given it's from a £1200 shelby cobra kit! Not a kit I would buy, but the parts can be found on e bay.

More progress on the interior

I had the same problem and used thread-lock to solve it. Just be careful when applying it so you don't lock the whole thing up.

Seen this on ebay, would make a cool large RC project. Looks 1/6 but not too sure. Would get it myself but already working on a 1/8 project. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154541955224

Finished extending the pipes and now starting work on the interior.

Got the side pipes from a shelby cobra. Have to extend them for the corvette.

I've been out of the crawling scene for several years, so I don't know what new rigs are unsing worm drives. A worm drive is more suited for crawling and has several advantages over standard gearing.

Yes, less prone than a top heavy rig. If you work on reducing the weight above the axles/chassis, then that's a good start. Softer tyres and softer shocks with less travel on the rear shocks, will also help reduce tipping.

I'm thinking it would be prone to tipping over unless all the weight is in the wheels
