RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
maby thats why Australia has alot of RWD cars? u know ur problary right

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
i like the HPI sprint 2 sport bodies better, but they arent shaft driven. Too bad the TC4 and TT01 do not include a battery pack, which the sprint 2 has, but then again, the sprint 2 is 10$-20$ more.

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
HPI make the best bodies for there price. IMO... there are better bodies out there but ther can be up to $80!!!

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
yea, and i havent taught myself how to paint yet.
|
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
if you can work tape and a spray paint can without hurting yourself you can paint a good looking body

Here's my RWD rally car that I'm building!

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Looks interesting, can you tell me about the design, what platform you are using, etc.?
|
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Wow man that is so cool, im assuming north south front mounted motor?
|
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
If you still want a rwd onroad car, see if you can find an Associated RC10DS. They have been discontinued for a while but they where cool cars back in the day. You still see them for sale now and then. Do a google search and see what you come up with.

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
I'm actually doing the build thread over here....
http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71407 I'm using parts that I had on hand ...a used hpi super nitro chassis for the independent front suspension and a Tamiya CC-01 rear axle for the rear. Tamiya Trailer Leaf springs and a custom floor pan made of styrene to tie it together. The link above has a lot more details. It's still a work in progress, stil have to sort out the tranny and motor mounting, full interior dash seats etc. still need to build the bumpers and rear wing to complete the body... |
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Hey thanks for the kind words! Yes the plan is a front mounted motor and a custom mounted tranny in the trans tunnel connected to the drive shaft like the 1:1 car!
Still looking around for an inline tranny that's small enough to fit the trans tunnel... |
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Yes it seems to make sense, putting the motor in the front. There would be more weight on the front and i suppose it would solve the handling issues people were talking about before with the RWD cars.
|
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
It's actually the other way around, I think that one is been built to resemble the real thing, but generally in RWD cars u want the weight at the back to assist with traction. that's why most RWD chassis have the motor behind the diff.

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Years ago traxxas had a real wheel drive touring car, can't rember the name tho.
The easiest way to make a great handling RWD touring car would be to use a RWD SCT with a 1/8 touring/rally car body |
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Yep . You are right ! It's being built as a scaled model to real car primarily. However I plan to pu the battery (nimh) together with the electronics in the trunk. And if that's not enough weight to keep the wheels planted I will be adding some lead weights in there as well. The kind they use in the crawler wheels. Also thinking os building a traction bar to try to minimize wheel hop. Hah! Just like they did with the '70s muscle cars. Haha! Well we will see how that turns out! Still need to install the rear dampers, finally figured out last night how to install them as close to the 1:1 as possible.
I guess for me the fun is to build it as close to the real car and still have some functionality! |
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Also did some custom work on my CR01 crawler. You could see it here on page 135 I think it was....

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
This is definitely a very interesting build, i cant wait to see how it turns out!

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
On and off for maybe a year and a half now.... The more you use it the more you learn especially when you look at some of the work that others are doing and you try to develop techniques to accomplish various shapes. Styrene scratch building is all about replicating shapes of various components that when put together achieves the object that you are building. It requires patience and a whole lot of do overs!

RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
The e10 is crap! i had one and kept burning out the spuir gear.
|
RE: Looking for a Rear Wheel Drive OnRoad Car
Yeah? Some people have a lot of problems setting gear mesh on the e10 then they blame the car.
My spur is over 5 years old not a simple problem, that's on brushless power 3900kv on 24t pinion and 4300kv on 24t pinion |
