Would love to see this in the "flesh" some day
I'm not going through all this then wimping out at the important bit, so it will see the track at every oppertunity. I'm even considering racing it

Well if you made exhaust and dump valves sounds whilst pretending to change gears its basically the same as driving it

Hopefully once the brakes are sorted it will be plain sailing

It'll all be worth it the first time it moves on it's own... and that better be soon because i'm fed up pushing it

Some of the mounting brackets have the potential to cause issues... well money and time related issues anyway. I have a plan!

I'm hoping the mapping will be simple enough, can't see why not as it's a standard T16 that's in there just now. Fingers crossed
