More work on the Geep


Well, I have painted the underframe and trucks black and am getting ready to reassemble the drive. As the model came from Oriental, it only had four wheel pick up, so I had to add some more pick ups.

Here you see the addition of a piece of PC board where I soldered a piece of phosphor bronze wire as a pick up on the insulated side of the trucks.  I then soldered a length of wire to carry the current to the motor brushes.

Trucks are all done and we are ready to assemble the drive line.
