Pilgrim Sumo Rolling Chassis At Last!

[Grumbleweed]

Couple of small videos I took today: first time firing up the Rover 3.5 I rebuilt since fitting it into the chassis and a little drive to check all was working. I cannot believe how loud it was, phone doesn't capture it. Few little niggles to sort out: throttle is sticking when running for some reason, chassis is sitting lower at front than rear, front near side wheel alignment needs adjusting and gear selection is a little tricky. Overall, very happy.

First time ever uploading to Youtube too, so a day of firsts! Quality seems poor?

Youtube indicating 240p video resolution - very low quality, how did you record it and upload it?

I thing it sound beastly though - lol.

sticking throttle, check cable run and do you have the twin return springs on throttle return?

good stuff - well done on rebuild

Recorded on iphone 11? not sure if i can change the quality, fine on phone?

I only have the spring that comes as part of the ford (fiesta?) throttle cable.

Thanks.

See below, think i need the additional spring to pull the throttle back as you have said, the spring on the cable pushes it back but not man enough.

Well done, the first start is always a great moment.
