I like your body clip less idea, that can be done. The £250 can also be done, and as to converting it to a 4wd in 15 mins its very possible down to my first design using the same bearings as a TC3/ BJ4. I will make it as a 2wd first though. And if needs be, will use it as a base for my 4wd car

Ok, inboard shocks, narrow chassis, and a giro inside so when it turns over it can drive equally as well and the servo is automatically reversed.
To build the perfect car, you must evaluate what does and doesn't work, but the trouble with that is people opinion of what works can be very different. My suggestion is make it strong, and make it have few consumables. Such as diff outdrives which run on roller dogbones (like some of the Losi team used). You should really test & form your own ideas, as listening to us crazy bunch you could end up with something completely bizarre. |

how about something completely different. Front wheel drive!! (i'm assuming that would be BRCA legal for 2wd?)

Physics still apply so think about any FWD cars with the equivalent of i guess 1500bhp......
Not really going to corner very well Any real car with more then about 230bhp in FWD form is fairly pants when it comes to traction. It has to be RWD, the only two things you can really work on are layout / weight distribution and suspension geometry. Have a look at the Predator with inboard suspension as this is a lot more advanced then many people realise and should help cut weight etc right down as you can run small shocks, plus Aerodynamics can be greatly improved |

one of these would be cool lol

LOL, I arent really trying to achieve nikko spec
Howabout front wheel drive, rear wheel steering

ha ha ha ha !!
u should try , how about the motor turned end bell up . . no one else has done it. but what could be the upsides to it ? or down sides Last edited by xx4-nutter; 18-10-2006 at 11:29 AM. |

Get your B4, Wire your motor up the wrong way, reverse your servo and see how quickly you can get round the track and report back to us

There's a good slogan that BMW use - "The best way to push something Forward, is from behind. That's why all our Cars are Rear wheel drive".
Think that applies pretty well to R/C, FWD is definitely not the way forward. |

How about the motor up front ie losi xx4 with a shaft running back to the rear tc3 style gear box with saddle backs at the rear either side of the shaft?
not saying it will work but could be interesting to test |

Someones tried that, didn't look too bad mind, was a bj4 layout.

Haha Jimmy i'm loving that - would be great fun to get some decent electrics & tyres just to see what it went like Not sure it'd be much good on the bumpy stuff...

point taken, it doesnt really work, if you think about how skinny the front tyres are, theere would be little grip, alot of understeer.

Well you wouldn't use narrow tyres on the axle putting the power down anyway so you'd have to have rears on the front, and fronts on the rear.... but basically no it just wouldn't be a good plan at all....
This is my concern dude, if you've not worked out if it's going to be Front or Rear wheel drive you're going to need to start doing some research into what does/doesn't work on real cars as i said earlier Physics are still very much going to apply..... although these weigh a lot less etc principly if it works on a real car it's got a much better chance of working on a toy one |

Have a look into Dune Buggy's etc, maybe get some inspiration from that sort of racing?
http://www.git.com.au/~theedge/torc_buggy_racing.htm Look for some of the hill climbing cars too as they have some crazy ideas when it comes to suspension etc. |
