Thread about my constantly evolving go-anywhere crawler/basher.
Pronounced "Wreck-key 12" - Based off the pro line "recon" body.
Started out as a WK 4x4 bought in Tokyo, Japan.
Subsequently used as the basis for my design and technology HSC major work whereby the aim was to create a security solution for remote surveillance. Basically a rc truck with a camera mounted to go up stairs e.t.c.
Converted to a crawler according to hpi's wk coversion instructable.
Year 1
Year 2
Pics of the machine as is crawling through 15cm+ of mud coming ASAP.
