Highest Education Build log #2: Bad puns and suspension

48.7k Destroyerz117  5.7 years ago

The bus is now complete!# link

Another day, another 1000 parts
or so it seems, in reality progress is slow and half the time I'm at a loss of what to do next,
Last time I asked you guys for puns and jokes to put on the bus and I got a few but sadly they were all crap..seriously they were about crap! (thanks ethan <3)

Oh and I've added a number joke if you spot it and yes i do have 5 year old humor no need to tell me.

I've gone ahead and started on an interior not too complicated so the part count doesn't go through the roof and we now have a bus driver! Its no Mrs Frizzle but I'll give it some googly eyes and that'll be good enough.

Suspension/frame
since i didn't have the greatest idea of how the suspension system worked and was laid out I spent an hour or two looking at pictures and sketching...

..until I had an idea of what to do

then about five minutes ago I found this diagram that shows everything i needed to know... so that's great.

Because of how my builds laid out I'm going to have to swap the position of the radiator and engine because I think that being able to see the engine is a higher priority than some crappy radiator.

alright that's about it!
hopefully next time it will drive or something interesting
(leave good puns this time)

    Lol, I found that diagram in a popular mechanics magazine and built the rig on my phone. And most modern monster truck have a mid engine layout so that would definitely work

    Make it do wheelies, and then call it the sCOOL buss. Give it an epic spoiler, and put a handmade jet engine In The back
