Huw, your model is really excellent. I like the method you used to center
the steering. Very clever! The 8448 Street Sensation is a large vehicle and
is not very maneuverable. I suggest that it be controlled with a remote or a
couple of attached wires to control the two motors. BTW your photography is
great.
