[WIP] Trophy Truck

[unimog123]

Very nice truck, I like it! However, I have one question - Why did you use two BBs and recievers? Well, the BBs for centering the weight, but why doubble reciever?

Because of power consumption? I don't think so, Two Ls and servo with lights does not consume so much power like RC Buggy motor ;)

However, I'm not sure ;)

PS: looking forward to see the video ;)

Thanks. About the battery boxes, I thought a seat would look good placed in between the internal rollcage since it would have been much harder to secure a battery box there instead. So I had 2 rechargeable batteries lying around and therefore I could put one on either side of the seat in the cab for more power,(1 battery for L motors/ 1 battery for servo and lights), and better balance and weight distribution.

Thanks, I though so, but I wasn't sure. Now I am.

Ha Ha! "Lying around" I don't even have one!

Yeah, this past holiday season (Christmas and my Birthday) I got 2 more rechargeable battery boxes after I bought 1 over the summer and charger of course. So 3 in total.

Wow that was fast. Looks great, I can't wait to see it perform!

Unfortunately I have recently tried to find a way to upload video to my blog, but to do so I would have to pay 60 DOLLARS A YEAR!!!!!

Unless it is possible to upload videos without a video upgrade I will not be able to post videos of my creations. I will keep trying though.

You can create a free account on YouTube or Vimeo and upload there... then just link or embed the code in your blog.

I have looked at this Vimeo place, but I do not know if the videos go public among the site or are confined to your own personal account and settings. If anyone knows I would appreciate a response AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so I can figure out this whole video uploading dilemma. Thanks

In both Vimeo and Youtube, as soon as you hit publish, it is published to the world! No fees or cost involved at all! Then you can embed the link in your site to make it easy to watch.

I'm not so sure I want to do that, is there a way to keep it private through your settings or something similar?

Yes, I think there is option to make it available just via the link...But I'm not sure...
