Details.

Freakin' genius! Not much more needs to be said. Nice work!

[Mr. ED]

Wow,
from the looks of these parts, I can tell you don't only make smart designs but also have some very good tools and skills.
Can I ask what you do in daily live?

There's a tread to put some details on yourself, and at the same time get to know some of the peoples faces here:

I'm writer and also designer. Graphic, clothing and shoes are my fields as the job. I don't have any expensive tool. I would make my cars with drilling machine, dremel and standard hand tools like handsaw.

Someone has a very steady hand. Nice.

I'm using the same tools, but you should never look too close on any of my parts: no patience and a shaky hand
I have lots of 0 shaped holes rather than round: the drill allways seems to drift and then i have to make 'corrections'

[Dr. Robotnik]

Here you are.

Finally thanks to Tak's efforts I have a belt and pulley set-up for my Yokomo!!!! I will do a mock-up in the next few days if I have time.

Thanks a lot mate!!! I can't wait to make my chassis for this!

Hahaha not for the want of trying. I have loads of belts which I don't need now

But I have the solution thanks to Tak and am ready to build my runner. I have some nice 2.2 wheels and tires and the correct belts and pulleys (4 of each), and just need to start chopping up a chassis....I will be using a trashed Wonder Dog Fighter as a drill and cutting guide, then adding the battery slots from an optional RPS graphite chassis.

I am also hopefully going to be able to mod. some Team Suzuki wheel hubs which should look trick!

So much to do lately! Yikes.

nice project

[Dr. Robotnik]

nice project

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

I hope to get a rough mock up this weekend...fingers crossed.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm eager to see if you have any updates for us. I'd love to do this with my SE.


BTW-It may be just the cobwebs in my mellon talking, but I seem to remember there being a belt conversion on the market for these Yokes back in the day. I remember it being EXPENSIVE (believe it came with a new chassis, center brace, etc) and tempermental. Like I said. May just be my faulty memeory mixing things up. There were of course later belt drive Yokes, Optimas, and there was a belt drive conversion for the chain driven Optimas.


Soooo..............any progress???

[Dr. Robotnik]

Hi, yes, there is some broad process. Thanks a lot for your interest. The chassis has been part built for a while but I haven't had time to take pictures. I will do when it's finished. Cheers.

Any news on this project ?
