Project: Motorized Madness!

[The boy 4rm oz]

HOLY CRAP!!!, this is going to look so cool when your all done with it. I love the Motorized Madness logo, all looks fantastic.

Thanks you guys. All your comments have put a huge smile on my face!

I did some more kit bashing tonight and glued the gears on the panel for the logo. -Have to wait till the end for the actual name plate to go on for that final touch after all the painting is done.

Sorry I don't have any pics. Its not much more than what I showed earlier today. Just some more plastic pieces mainly on the base.

Once I get further along in the kit bashing I'll post some more pics.

-FYI, my lcd screen should be here on monday, But that is my bowling night, so I won't be able to start that untill Tuesday night. I can't wait to test it out.

-Oh and about painting, yeah, I'm planning on spending a lot of time painting all the little parts and pieces with multiple colors and then to match the turbine, it will get the weathered look.

Thanks again for everyone's support!

I'd forgotten what the turbine looks like... WOW it's teh hawtness!!! Dude this case is THE SICKEST MOD EVER, it's not completely my taste but the workmanship, effort etc. etc. involved!

Hey guys, I've got some good news, and some bad news. First the good news,
I received my lcd monitor on friday!!! and I've been diligently working on getting it integrated into the case. I'm about half way done. I've got the motorization part done and the surrounding case for it finished. All I have left to do is mount it in the case and program the servos.

Now the bad news. I won't be posting any pics of this till I"m all done. I wouldn't want to show you bits and pieces and just leave you hanging. I'd hate to keep your suspense up any longer that I have to. So I've decided that once its done, I'll show you a video first, then how I did it.

So don't get upset at me, I'm just looking out for YOUR best interest. Muahhhaaahhhh (Evil Laugh).

wo, i can't remember what rep you were at before you started both mods (turbine and this one) but thats pretty dam impressive to max (only 1 box left) out the rep system with only 2 mods... so here have a rep for that, lol.

i can't remember the site but be sure, once this is done, to enter it in that site the doom 3 won and you will win something.

i know you said you won't be posting any pics of the mounting until its finished but still take them, i like to know how stuff works!

[p0Pe]

you better work 24/7 cus i cant wait to see this.. or... saturday would be fine since im home from london at that time!.... looking forward to an update

and yeah... so much rep for 2 mods is... worth... MORE REP!
but have to spread it:/..

I want pics lol, don't rush the work though.

I got it installed and mounted in the case. I cut out the side panel to allow for room. Bad news is I have to get a servo extension cable before I can hook it up. So I won't be able to get any video of it yet. One of the servos is fine, but the other is short by about 2 inches. -Have to make a stop at hobby town before I can get to work on the programing.

-I've been taking plenty of pictures, And I could post them, I just think it will be cooler if you guys see it in action first before I post how I did it.

Should have an update in a few days for you. And thanks for the Reps by the way!

Ok, to tide you guys over, here are some shots of the work I did before the monitor.

I got the replacement Bulgin switch and wired it up and tested it before installing it. -It will be powered by the 6v power supply for the servo controller and be wired to be on constantly. that way I can find the power switch in the dark.

I drilled a hole in the front of the base.

And I temporarily installed in the base. I will remove it for painting.

Here are some shots of the kit bashing I've been working on.

Thats all for now.
