Winter project.
Long wheel base Tuc Tuc Taxi, SW pod, printed shell in 2 halves, wheels & front tyre (TPU) with guide mounted behind the front wheel inside the tub.
Thinking from my own experience in India that it needs a crate of chickens, 2 goats and @2-10 passengers depending on the district.
Cheers

Interesting to say the least...especially where the front tyre is going to go
Life is like a box of Slot cars...

Kevan,
Front tyre is 8mm wide and radiused plus by careful setting of the guide height with braid the wheel is just touching if you push the front down against the braid so no problems on jamming in the slot. The prototype is now in bits awaiting modified parts, so no pics yet but running the mark 1 around Carrera track the only issue is the obvious one of a very high C of G causing toppling on sharp radii corners so will add weight to stabilise on the next iteration.
Cheers

Porsche looks good - do you create chassis and screens as well?

I do create a chassis for each car, and print a buck to vacuform the glass, yes.
