The exhaust needs to be lowered, that might be a challenge. next step is to start fitting the servos

I have a gear driven water pump from the gearbox. An electric one might be better so it doesnt sap the engine power

Status: offline 		The only thing I have that is that big are my rc boats a 52" V- bottom and a 565" Catamaran with duel 5694 motors pushing it. very nice build buy the way. I have a couple of builds that I have done with the shocks set much like yours.

this is a Revo that I built into a 1/5 Truck.

Some people like Gas cars because of the sound and the smell of racing fuel it is not just about speed alone at least it is not that way for me. It takes more skill to get a gas car to run fast than a electric one. In general all you have to do with a electric car is add more batteries and have a wheelie poping machine that is too fast to drive and you end up just breaking alot of parts because it is completley out of control most of the time. You can have your electric cars they are just a money pit in my opinion the parts breakage from the high speed crashes is just tooooo much.

Status: offline 		agreed, whilst you are recharging or changing out yer batteries we'll be burning up the second half tank of gas and lapping you.

yes electric produces oodles of torque etc but 1. totally souless. 2. range is still a huge issue...i can run a gasser wot for 30-35mins...try doing that with batteries....only future i foresee is elec motors powered by an onboard genpack...best of both worlds then.

fortunately there is enough cheap oil in the world for me to burn until i die so i wont have to bother with batteries etc. yippeee

Status: offline 		I am more impressed with your chassis design Ziggy it is more innovative. I wonder what Maxits has done to his chassis to counter the wheelie popping tendancy that the baja chassis has. To me it is just another wheelie popping baja with a twin in it. Looks nice but looks don't equal speed. He does not even have disc brakes on the front !! How is he going to stop it??
