TheItalianBrick Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Are you sure about the gears on the drive motors not being braced? I can hear some grinding of the gears in your near future ;-) True... Quote
5imon Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Good point with the bracing, and thanks for this hint! I had a lot of problems with grinding gears that I solved, but not at this spot so far. But who knows with the weight increase to come... However I think it should be possible to solve this easily by constructing the front end to accept these two gears in a rigid structure (angled liftarm or similar). Quote
5imon Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Very slowly, unfortunately. I had a busy time and was away from home the last two weekends. I still hope to finish on time, but some things might not turn out as refined as I expected. However, the chassis is on a good level now and quite well optimized. I'll post more WIP pictures soon.

5imon Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Last night I started to hate PF cables, especially these bulky connectors. With 4 lines going from the back (where the BB and the receivers are) to the front, all of them with an extension, there are a lot of them! After some struggling I succeeded to cram everything in the central console / backbone. It's now completely filled with cable stuff. But the interior will be free of cables as I wanted it. The boot however will also be completely filled. What a mess! Now on to the body - looks like it's going to be done in a rather "quick and dirty" fashion... Edited February 11, 2015 by 5imon Quote
5imon Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 Unfortunately, it looks like I'm not going to make it. I could still enter it as a "Citroën Activa Chassis", since everything is there and running, cables are neatly stowed ;-) and it even has seats and a dashboard. It's just a bit windy when driven... But seeing all the "finished" entries, it just doesn't look like I want it to. Let's see tomorrow if I can put a video and some pics here or if I withdraw. This would give me time to improve some things and make it a really great car - just as "MOC" instead of "TC6". Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 All of them we have MOCs, a good one is always welcome in or out of time. Quote
