    I'm making the first parts of the modd right now the drawing and sizes and stuff but i thought i would let yuo guys see the work in progress.

    What i'm making is a 1960's bodied impala car that will drive around like a r/c but when stopped and an additional controller that is hard wired to the computer will have hydrolics but with air.

    My brother is really big into r/c and is helping me move the thing around, and i am learning about small air stuff to make it move up and down and go on three wheels.

    This will be along project and hopefully you guys can help me with the project!


    Thanks

    Spazz

    Sounds good, but around here, the mods like pics, and lots of 'em. I sense that this will be getting moved to modding fairly soon...

    Just in case you didn't know, image sigs are disabled here :thumb:

    Are you planning on using something like a shuttle/epia mobo to fit in the vehicle, or is it going to be bigger and use standard sized hardware?

    Welcome to the forums spazzonater! :)

    This thread has been moved to the Modding forum as it doesn’t yet qualify as a project log under forum rules here. Let an Admin or Moderator know once some solid work has been done and posted (with pictures) and it will be moved back to the Project Logs forum.

    Happy modding :) :dremel:

    Hydraluics...hard drive...severe jolting...

    I assume you wont be doing the hydraulics while the PC is on, correct? Also, thats gotta be one big Impala for everything to fit.

    Sounds great.

    Just for reference, Hydraulics with air isn't hydraulics, it's called Pneumatics.

    PLUS, Welcome to the forums.

    I will be using a shuttle mobo, and everything will be as small as possible so if any body could help on the small psu, and short 128mb video cards that wouls help alot, and the car won't be moving very fast when it goes up and down.

    Here are the "Struts" For the car to go up and down. How would I control them? This is the last part to figure out. Any ideas are welcome.
