Yes... you read it well!

I had this wild idea while brainstorming about an unexpected vehicle converted to tracks. 

This is my first working prototype. It still makes cracking noise and other small issues but the functions are there:

  • PF remote control, 2 L-motors, 1 receiver, battery box
  • Penny-farthing central track driven by differential and bicycle pedals
  • Fake steering controls
  • Driver with articulated legs and arms
  • 2-axis head moving system actuated by the shoulders. 

 

 

Sorry for the quick & dirty pictures

That is amazing, a very "interesting" idea.

Retro futuristic non traditional vibe :thumbup:

Neaten up the looks and this will be an awesome build. Love it!

Thank you guys!

There is some progress:

  • New rear frame, properly cross braced solved the cracking noises ( it was bevel gears being pushed appart and skipping teeth)
  • Driver went from stick figure prototype to dressed to the nines gentleman. (new head was too heavy, had to use a counterweight inside the torso)
  • Tidy up and fix small reliability issues
  • Details : headlight, dashboard

The driver may remind you of the one driving my Fiat S76 MOC. They have similar heads and identical hat, moustache and  bow tie. 

Some details may change but it is close to be done and I'm happy with how it looks and how it works.
