What a day this has been for the R/C Barbie Jeep! Me and Ben went to the newly found LHS, picked up a 1/4 scale futaba s5050 servo, some spraypaint from lowes, and got right to work with the jeep... we drilled a new hole in the steering rack for the servo, mounted the servo nearby on the body, with a custom made servo arm with a slot for the pin to move in. we then cut up some old bike tires, and then screwed them into the plastic wheels for alot more traction. It took us from 4:30 til 7:30 to do everything but treading the front tires... we played with it for a half hour, then ben left, then I finished the front wheels, and a few other minute details, and played with it for another half hour. The batteries still have 3/4 charge in em too!
