Me too! Lmfao! I didn't want to fab it until the measurements are correct but I think we are close enough for a first-draft. Maybe later tonight if I catch a second wind

[THUNDERSTRIKE1]

Kinda reminds me of my days at Revlon driving those stand up forklifts.You put your back to the pallet your hauling and the rear wheels steer it took alot to get used to but once i did i flew all around Revlon lol.Bet this car will haul ass through the turns when done lol.DON

Steering mocked up, still need to play with it a bit- but we are getting there!

[markbt73]

That is one weird looking beast. Please tell me you're going to run it, even if only once... I gotta know if it works at all.

[GoMachV]

Oh yeah, they will get run. There will be a few of them

[tiger1]

this is something VERY special!!

[Phin]

Slow down dude! You're making the rest of us that drag our feet on projects feel like crap. It's too much pressure to want to try and keep up.


Very glad you got excited enough about the Bullet to want to build one, because me, I couldn't make it past fapping to the manual.

[GoMachV]

Ill admit I had to look up that slang. Lmfao, hard to read the manual with the pages stuck together, eh?

I'd be done with the prototype if I had me a 3d printer and a waterjet of my own! Lol. Yeah that ain't gonna happen

what is the purpose of those two straps in the middle of the chassis? Looks like they interfere with the operation of the steering links.

[GoMachV]

I think they support the battery pack and keep it off the steering linkage. They also appear to add some strength to the chassis. Basically it's a "I'm sure it will make sense at some point" kind of thing.

There is not much front steering anyway due to the trans being in the way as well, so they aren't in the way as much as the trans

[Phin]

Makes you question if A-Main started off wanting the 4WS or added it because they couldn't get enough steering up front.

It must have been planned like this from the beginning.
It would have been easy to angle the steering levers outwards, leaving enough space for both tranny and steering?

gomachv -
Very interesting build to follow.
I know it´s not necessary to remind You, that the new parts goes on the Maxxum

[GoMachV]

Haha yes Dennis they are already on it I couldn't use new old stock on this mutant

And I am in agreement on splaying the steering arms a bit- on a hybrid one later on the first one needs to remain "stock" lol
