Takes me back to the 40`s where the boys ( lucky ones although i never had one ) used to run about in their go-karts steering principle the same except they used their feet. Now i think it`s time to make cut outs for the servos think i will fit two the only place they can really go is either side of the prop shaft just behind the cylinders the other thing is where to position the burner tank ( still to make ) position of all three is really important that will determine what type of body i can make hoping it can be a roadster of sorts will now have to make patterns to see exactly where thing can go.
