thats an epic mini roll cage! grate job!!!:)

[mini_in_progress]

go on you know you want to picture of you sat in it

[olds_kool_lews]

haha i could prob fit 1 foot in it lol the cage is still to be finished, i want to cross brace the roof, n when the rear wheels are on, i want to do some more cross bracing around the engine/rear end as there's another engine mount which would be good to tie into the roll cage, and ill have somewhere to bolt the exhaust too

[mini_in_progress]

[olds_kool_lews]

Have you thought anymore about a braking system?

[Artful Dodger]

you sir, are mad. top job mate, is it going to be fully remote control???

[olds_kool_lews]

someone has to be a little mad yeah fully remote control, and as for brakes, im looking at cable operated 1/5th scale rc car front disc brakes with calipers ;) which means ill have to use a controller from a helicopter, so can opperate the brakes, steering, and acceleration all with 1 controller, might even try get the indicators and lights all to work

[Artful Dodger]

you going to be taxing and MOTing it as well?? not sure what the IVA testers or VOSA are going to say...

[olds_kool_lews]

nah its gonna be for use on private land only ;) e.g down the park lol should be able to rip some of the grass up and drift it like a mad'en! really hate waiting for these wheels to turn up!
