Ellies mini Lotus 7 lookalike

[Bray Hill]

Hi, here's a couple of pics of the electric car i've built for my Grandaughter. Made from a set of plans from Lightning Cars using a kitchen swing bin and 18v elctric drill

Nice one, I have a set of those plans. How is the drill controlled?

[Bray Hill]

Hi simple, right angled bracket screwed to floor with a pivoting lever acting on the drill trigger , cable attached to this then to a throttle pedal made of MDF and attached to floor using small hinge

I'm currently building this:

The toylanders look fantastic , bit of difference in building costs though !!

Nice, is your username your location on IOM?

[Bray Hill]

No unfortunately , just into classic bikes and prop

This is an ace build, bet she loves it!

Thanks at the moment she's more interested in filling the boot with sweets than driving it !!
