With everything tightened up, it was time for more charging around in the car park. This time, I took my DSLR, and stuck it on Sport mode. Driving and taking photos isn't easy, but these seem to have come out OK.
I will say that while it's great fun to drive on a loose surface, those front wheels have no grip, and it's easy to spin out by trying to turn too tightly, with more power than is advisable. I'm only at the bottom of the learning curve driving this thing!
And yes, I did manage to turn it over. I should have read the comment about putting some Fablon on the body to protect it. Not that this would have helped the wing mirror, which also needs to be fixed back on...

Great action photos Phil and nice to see you enjoying the bug just as it was designed to do. I got the impression from the various posts that this was a build you really did want to do and a fantastic job you did to. If I didn't already have three lifetimes worth of projects I would be so tempted by seeing your build. Woody.
It's been a dream project for a long while (I must post about that) and having a lifetime's worth of projects wasn't going to stop me! Sometimes. you just have to go for it!
Hobby stuff is meant to be played with to produce some smiles. Mint in box just means the fun was never allowed out. Maybe this is why the world isn't as much fun as it used to be?!
Love the idea that "mint in box" means the fun was never allowed out. I'll be using that in future.
