Title: MTB 488
Post by: riggers24 on April 09, 2006, 05:22:50 pm

Here is another from the John Elsy stable, a scratch built MTB 488. 3 motors running off a 6v lead acid battery. You can plod around on 2 motors but throw a switch and off she goes

Hi ya my mate Rats

There are three m-tronic 600 fan cooled motors in her.......she is diagonally planked on a 1/8 plywood frame with obechi stringers.

She was built on a system of box girders. 

She is powered by 2 x 6volt gel batteries 4 amps.

She lasts about 15 mins if Im lucky on a good day, the full wack.
