rear seat.



hey guys here is the second smaller chair for the back half. hope its good.


Here is the finshed wheel assembly. it works now all we have to do is add some suspension struts. this can be done in 3ds max. it doesnt have to be perfect just ass long as it all looks in place. the main attention is the locking system itself. this can be scaled in 3ds max. hope you all like it

End of semester is near

hey guys. hows things? Its good everyone is talking about potential problems however may i say the end of the semester is dawning upon us and we only have three weeks to have the entire project done.i mean we could spend the next year talking about potential problems. So i sugest that we discuss the problems and try to fix them with as little changes as possable. because its way to late to re vamp the whole vehicle to fit wheels under. I also think that we should start the prototype model of this thing very soon. like the start of the week. cause there is a lot in the process of the model making and telling you the truth i think we need to get a move on...Sorry to burst your bubble Beardy.

Tub + Restraints Revisited.


Wheel Troubles

Were having issues with wheel sizing and rear cabin height and floor space.

Lets chat.

The standard truck tire size is smaller than one meter, the representational tires we are currently using are too big, and theyll rip up too much terrain.

Also, its been repeated that the cabin is too Low in height.

What are our opinions?
