The plan was to put the RCX and the pnaumatic controls and pump in there. So
then there will be not much space left. And since the Car is so huge I have
to put one motor on each car axel to be abel to drive it forward at a
aceptable speed.

Grow up? Do you or anyone else handling LEGO ever grow up? :-)
The only thing I have noticed by growing up with LEGO is that I now chooses
bigger and more complicated constructions and I also have collected a lots
of parts...

Well, the project has rested a few times now. And I realy want to go forward
all the time, but now I have realized that I maybe have to go back a few
steps and rebuild at least the chassis a few times. And now have in mind
that I have to make room for some motors and other gadgets...

Thats not lazyness, it is that you are so prod of at last have getting the
thing to work and it looks nice too and are rigid and all things, so you do
not WANT to take it apart just because it does not fit in the rest of the
model...

Thats my motto :)

No problem, it was intresting reading and it helped me realize that if I
first dont succeed, I do not want to go parachuting :)
Actually, I think I let the project rest some time now. I think I even would
tear it apart,because the major sub-parts in the construction so far I've
made LDraw files for. So there will be no problem rebuild each part. But I'm
not happy with the chassis so I will not make an LDraw file for that part.
