Micro Info Please
 

Hello,

I am new to this fourum but have been racing Rc for a while now.
I race at Caldicot on a friday night with a B4.1 Buggy.

I would like to have a go at Making a 4WD Micro but need some info please.

Wheelbase??
Track??
Gear ratios used??
Final running weight??

Many Thanks

Chris

Try ukmicrorc forum for info. All the current regulations on there.
A company called phatbodies makes a b4 based micro (2wd) called chunk.
Also a touring car based 4wd but i think this was just put together for his own entertainment. Its well worth a look. :thumbsup:

Wheelbase?? 190mm max (get as close to this as you can)
Track?? 209mm max (200mm to 205mm seems optiamal)
Gear ratios used?? Internal ratio 2.5:1 IMHO
Final running weight?? 900g seems optimal power to weight ratio

Thanks for the info guys,

Have had a bit of a brain wave on how to make the drive train.

will let you know when i have made some progress.

Thanks

Chris.

WOW,the lrp shark i race at my club is 900grams so it doest need a diet :)

Hello MrSpeedy.

I have spoken to you beffore about Micros, Will have to have more talks as i want to get one but also want to build my own :)

Are you there next week??

Cheers.

Chris.

Hi Chris .... I'm always happy to talk micro's :)

We're away for a bit so won't be over till 9th July now ....

We can have a chat then if you're about ....

Ok no problem Mate,

On the 4WD models what pinnion and spur are you using??

Cant wait to start making mine :)

It is going to be radical , whoo

That micro you have pictured looks gorgous! What parts have you used chassis arms diffs etc cos I want one ha

Thud's looking good :thumbsup: Do you have any test videos Simon?

where did you get all that purple from and what rc cars can you get them for please. ive only seen silver or blue and i really like the purple :)

Its schumacher mi3.5 touring car parts which come as standard in the kit. i read up on his build and was drooling

will they go on other cars, say if you mod the shock tower. i noticed these ones are polycarb (which ive got to say look sweet) . would these hold up in off road.

i have no idea as he made the micro buggy all custom but it may do who knows

I know old thread, but do you have any more pics of this beautiful masterpiece? I really hope mini’s make a huge comeback!

It's deff schumacher Bassed . that little creation look awesome
