Is it just me that's surprised you haven't been told you should've modelled it on a Japanese 4x4 instead?
Yep, just you, looks like..........

@Onoff, thanks will check it out. Already sorted the controllers and many other bits, from a mobility scooter, as you suggest. Only difficult part is translating the wig wag forward and reverse to a linear accelerator, but I have a plan!
Going to hide the slow / high speed potentiometer under the bonnet, along with remote cut out. Will of course share how it unfolds...
Not forgetting the Diesel engine sound generator my mate built for me, now that will be cool
4QD do pots specifically for accelerator use I seem to recall.

V8 sounds?

I considered a rudimentary "gearbox" with 3 or 4 fixed resistances switched in and out.
What 4QD controller did you go for?
I could never choose so never got one. Probably missed that boat now, my boys having driving lessons for real!
