Default RE: Homemade drifter

Sup Sam123

Im in the process of making a 1/5 scale drifter too. body will finally be 1metre long.
No suspension, chain driven, eventually 4 wheel drive. Havent really thought about gear ratio's etc.
See what happens Will just give it nuts! Using the 23cc from my traveller.
Going to make it with no suspension at 1st just to test it doesnt handle too rough. (if sweet, then ill keep it that way)
Tyres ill be using are from a lawnmower, low grip, solid rubber.
Chassis will be made of 12mm PVC/Polypropylene plastic. errr... Plastic chopping board material. Easy to work with,
for people who dont weld much. Its a bit bendy, will have to brace it heaps.
We shall see.
Cheers Lee
