ive had an idea for a build for the past year +....
I don't like onroad cars as much as offroad....not as much fun for me to drive. But ive only ever had 1/10 scale cars, which just seem small.
But a 1/5 gas onroad is very pricey.
But I got to thinking, what if I could scale up the design of a simple 1/10 pan car? Larger tires, more width and length and more weight may mean that it would handle better on your typical paved lot then a 1/10 scale pan car does.
It would still be pretty light...light enough I think that a traxxas titan 775 or a decent 550 brushless motor should be enough to achieve 30-35mph.
The body and tires would still be expensive, but if one had a way to machine the parts the materials to do so wouldn't be that costly.
I even considered if there were a way to simply widen a 1/10 pan car rear end. The axle is very simple, I don't think making wider would put to much stress on the axle.
But winter is coming, so with limited funds the only builds I will be doing any time so are crawlers. But...maybe....next summer
