Giant Half-Scale Build

[KustomKB]

Thanks Al.
It's going to be about four feet long. So I guess you could call it half scale, or "stupid" scale.
I've got a 70cc Honda clone to try in it.

Thanks Doug and thanks for the tip. Sometimes I overlook the easiest options. I think I've got a couple old calipers out back, cheers.



Servo saver;








Have fun!

I suppose that's a child's ride-on - with a difference!!

Ha! no doubt.

I was thinking of making room for a little seat, but I don't want to go to jail or have my boys taken away...

How's it going KustomKB?

 

[KustomKB]

Hi Jari,

I'm doing well thanks, the car, not so well.

I have only had time to hang about 60 sheets of drywall. Then mudding and paint and carpet and cabinets and doors and trim work and then maybe she will let me back out to the shop.

I feel too guilty working on my projects when the basement is unfinished and my boys don't have much room to play during the winter. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though....

Good that you have your priorities straight. These toys are interesting but not the most important thing. Take your time and finish it when you have time.

Cheers, thanks for the support.

I did steal a couple hours to build one of these; If anyone is into flying I would recommend you check out these foam-board, scratch-builds;

Super quick and cheap.

After years hove home renovations, jumping from project to project and hoarding, the shop became too depressing to work in.
I have also invested a lot of time running the BMX track and racing with my boys.





Over the holidays the shop has been cleaned up. And the boys are old enough to get involved, so some well overdue, hobby time, is in order.

Feeling inspired again. Let's build some swing arms.
