Motorizing my models


Recommended Posts

SInce I am making their bodies for a long time (I mean buses, trains, etc)

here it comes a time to instal motors, lights, speakers, and make them run...

 

So what did I come up with:

 

Motor - the best will be is to buy a "build it yourself" RC car kit, and put it under the body of my model. However I dont know whether it is possible to vary the distance between wheels. Beucase it is it designed to be a car, and the distance cannot be changed ... I'll not be able to use it for a bus. It will be either for a jitney or another kind of a car.

 

Lights: LED SMD Strip. But I dont know is safe to cut off when iti s longer then bus's passenger space. Plus, I've heard about LED plug boards, which are used for some store sings.

I'd also use fiberboptics as a light conducting material for better lghting.

 

Sensors: Smart bricks of LEGO Mindsorm sets. Like light and color, sensors.

And there is also a sence to use LEGO Mindstorm motors. However, will it go together with an RC car kit?

 

what can you advice me, please

thanks
