Lightweight "Thin4" | RC10B4 FT
 
Nothing special, but i got kind of bored..so i took some parts that i have here in the hoby room :thumbsup: some spare chassis,arms,electronics so on..

See how low light i can get this "Thin4", no plans to race, since it is waaay to light..i hope :D

Heaviest of the El will be the Xerun60A sensor and Novak 380 - 8.5T
Rest will be mini servo
Hardcase CS 1900lipo can handle 114A burst..

I will use Orion 26mm lightweight El touring rims, with dito rally/pin from schumi

you'll need quite the mini servo, I'd think a low pro servo would be much better, even though you don't plan on racing it, you'll still want it to steer

Jaune 18-08-2010 06:17 PM

now you should try to mount a durango body on this!

Thomas P 18-08-2010 06:34 PM

Looks good. How well does it get round a track tho?

Thomas P 21-08-2010 11:55 AM

the feeling was awsome...not sure if il be sticking with the CM26 , il going to test 1/10th el..

nitrokillah 21-08-2010 03:35 PM

hey MR.P
Looks Like fun .

if your going to put a 1/10th motor . maybe a one cell lipo could do the trick .

ie : 4200mAh 3.7V Carbon LiPo battery, for 1/12-scale cars

Tried this myself, and using a 1 cell lipo with a 3.5t motor gives reasonable power in a car on the weight limit, but imo isn't worth the trouble.

If you go this route you need a receiver pack. - The 1/12 style regulators don't give enough oomph.

But the main drawback is the amount of time to charge as the lower voltage means you take a lot more out of the pack than with 2s. You can't get away with one battery unless you are running at a very large meeting.

A 2s micro pack like the one pictured in the car, or low capacity full size 2s pack such as orions 2400 which only weighs 150g is a better option. But it will depend on your local rules as to what you can do.

Thomas P 21-08-2010 05:26 PM

First test will be at GreenHill...i will order some 2200 45c packs...i will not run the 1/10th system in this...it was never made for it...but it can be done, i have done it...it looks good :)

OldTimer 22-08-2010 08:50 AM

Looking good thomas :thumbsup:

mrspeedy 22-08-2010 09:03 AM

Awesome Thomas :D

How about 4wd front tyres on the back to loose a little more weight ?

and for motor, how about using something like Dan has in his Chunk, its 400 size so can use stock 48dp pinions too :thumbsup:

or maybe shorten the chassis, change the wishbones and call it a Micro !!

davidmog99 22-08-2010 07:44 PM
