- So construction is imminent. Sounds like a real car factory with parts all being delivered 'just in time'. I look forward to your updates,

- We know you'll figure it out 'Jonah' 😁
Say Hi when you get spat out again!🤞
If you need any help (which somehow I doubt) re mini/micro motors & RC gear let me know.
I've got loads in my stash and specs / sources in pdfs and links in my archive.
SFSG with the sticking.👍
Cheers, Doug 😎 - As has been said sure you will find items small enough to go into the build yet powerful enough to run the build.

inner bits
well looks like I can get most bits inside just need to shortin the prop shaft, and sort rudder (home made 1) with speed controller on order... once i have all bits, then i'll use velcro hook and loop tape to fix bits, smarten wiring

In all seriousness, this is a cool project. I used to do rc cars back in the day, dabble in them still. I have a couple of friends who still race rc dirt oval and crawlers, if you get in a bind for something in the car side of this project, give me a shout. We can probably direct you to something that will work.

Ford service here was diabolical,- you could walk into their main city branch parts store and get totally ignored (we'll help you when we can be bothered attitude) always had a bad name for service here. They had a bell on their counter, but people kept hanging on it for service, (because there was none) so they removed it. All staff were hidden, (or hiding) behind partitions.
