Hey guys just looking into tuning and modding my Ansmann Virus a lot,
However, a lot of the parts that ansmann make are lacking in variety. spares are thin on the ground too, and for some parts id like top end manufacturers.


cheers guys

what mods are we talking?

engines and radio gear?

or fancy aluminium parts?

ok mods are just in planning now, but most of that side is sorted as the parts i need arent specific to nitro. thats just porting and polishing, and other efficiency tune ups, better gaskets oil/water cooler maybe, nitrous oxide.

radio gear is going to a 4/5 ch 2.4ghz. so no issues there.

servos are getting mega uprated and with a big battery pack.

i want lots of ally parts, wheels and tires and stuff, gears, clutch shoes. all that stuff, thats the stuff i cant find.

hmm, engine modding is sensable enough, but you can't, as far as i know, get water or oil cooling systems.. theres no need. Nitrous is useless on 2 stroke nitro enignes.

Why a 4/5 channel? why not a 3?

servos and batery are good.

the watercooling or oil cooling sytem is just a prototype at the moment. may just scap it because of the weight issue.

the 5 channel radio is for the nitrous injection, electronic start (yup electronic start) and the last channel is for a fire extinguisher.

sounds crazy i know, but its just a project.

i cant find many places that do parts for the virus, what im looking for is parts from other cars maybe, that fit the virus. thanks for the links

the whole car is basically a proof of concept thing.


thanks for your time
