Alan 1,273 #1 Posted April 15, 2015 Started off as a broken 4 wheel drive toy truck. The chassis was cut in half, the axle units forming the basis of each tractor. The wheels from the truck were used on the trailer. The tractor wheels were from another broken toy. Well, it was broken after I had butchered it. Radio controlled. Total length 30". Mainly made from plastic sheet, bits of brass and numerous odds and ends. The pivot moves in two directions, allowing articulation. Each tractor has it's own small electric motor, the radio gear and battery's are in the trailer. Not as powerful as I had hoped, but will climb over small lumpy bits. A pig to drive in reverse though, as the trailer decides it want's to do it's own thing. The name ALJO, is a combination of mine Alan, and my mate's John. GAR- DOE is meant to be a garden tractor size doe.. And in case anyone is wondering the 6V means 6 Volt. which is the drive power. Just needs a suitable sized driver. 7 Lauber1, HeadExam, Ian and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
