See example here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~tnpshow/RCLM/intro.htm
Status
- Had our first meeting may 8th. Came up with a design similar to the one in the example link above, except no castor wheels in the front and using bicyle wheels in the back, attached to the motor via bicyle chain. Currently looking for metal for the chassy. Omegix 12:10, 10 May 2010 (CDT)
