Build your own Batmobile Tumbler

[joberg]

Here we add the slide, motor and rack B as well as some limiter switches and another motor to the roof part of the Tumbler.


A lot to do in this exciting issue.

Wow...no kidding; lots of fiddly parts/cable and cogs to align Do you have a way to test the electronics to see if the parts will work?

We get to test the ailerons in issue 94 as well as two headlights. Fingers crossed it works out.

Great work so far!

Too kind...thank you.

 

[chefhawk]

This is a nice on where we put some big pieces together working on the Rack, supports and engine cover.

Here we add limit switches and a moving rod to the interior upper panel. fairly quick and easy.

Here we add the moving plate/motor and cover to the interior upper plate..with a tip for ease of movement! Hope you all had a great Christmas...cheers.

Here we assemble the emergency brake rods and slide. Also we put the major parts together and watch me fail!..

 

[joberg]

Ah yes, starting to see the general silhouette of that Batmobile

Hope you did not break that part you mentioned.

Yes, but I have got a replacement from eBay and fitted it. cheers

It's starting to get there.

Here we assemble the turntable. we then get to test out the ailerons as well as the two lights we installed in the last build. A little tip is also thrown in on how to clean those greasy marks off of the Tumbler.

 

[joberg]

Lights, movements...what else can you ask for?

 

[chefhawk]

This is the big one. we start to put together some of the main big pieces whilst connecting a ton of cables.

 

[joberg]

Wow...it went from "Mmmh, "what is that piece gonna look like when assembled?", to Holy!! "I can see the Batmobile now!"

 

[chefhawk]

..Its getting bigger and better each time now.

 

[stevielewis]

Now it's looking like the Batmobile!
