I am thinking of doing a project. I am having a problem in finding a bare chasis to start with. I want something that is easy to find parts for and can hold a Big Block engine.

A Kyosho would be nice, or a MRX4-R.

GYNAIKAS

Try an off-road chasis. They tend to be more durable.

GT100

My Feedback: (1)

Need more info!!... Whats the purpose of the project? How fast are you trying to go? How big of a "bigblock" are you trying to drop in?

GYNAIKAS

Yeap in that case of top-speed-advice "Got_to_100_now_die_hatin " is the guru and I think you should listen to him.

i would like 100mph but that wont happen without a couple grand.I would like to see 60-80mph, probably using a .30.

annie_himself

A .30 won't get you there, a modded on-road .21 would be the only choice here. RB motor maybe.

ferrarimk13

dont think the .30 is a better choice, u might mean a .32, but that thing revs very low, and ur better off with a lighter, higer revving motor, like an .18 or .21 or .28. Picco make the p9-r which is an onroad .28, which can propel any car to that speed.

3xnt57

i was looking at the rb motors. I thought that the revs would get in the way, then i will probably go with a .21 or .28.

ferrarimk13

sounds better to me

3xnt57

thanks... now which chassis do you recomend?

ferrarimk13

ehh, i dont know my chassis' too well, so i cant help ya there

annie_himself

I don't mean a .32, I mean a .21 racing motor.

ferrarimk13

oh, i was talking to 3nxt57, but ur right too, anyways

GYNAIKAS

No .28 I agree that you need a racing .21 cause they produce the most rpm for top speed.

Foxy

No... a ninja .28 or Novarossi 528, maybe even an RB TM928 will get you up to the speeds you require. While the racing .21s do tend to rev higher, it's not by much these days (literally just a few RPM). Unfortunately a racing .21 does not have the torque to fight wind resistance at insane speeds. A competition .28 is what you want, and gear it to the moon. If I was you, I'd probably start with either a Power Racing XR80 chassis, or a Kyosho Inferno GT chassis.

ferrarimk13

really? ud suggest an inferno chassis?

Foxy

Yeh, for speed runs they're very good (some of the miami guys have used them to break 80mph).

3xnt57

i will have to take a look at the inferno. Thanks for the info guys.

ferrarimk13

well, are u gonna race, bash, or are u going for speed?

3xnt57

just something to play with the xxxnt is my "BASHER". I am putting a os.18 in it this winter. I am just looking for a project, i am getting married july 12th.We are buying a house next year. So i have to give up a hobbie. I decided to trade my car hobbie for rc cars.

ferrarimk13

good choice

3xnt57

idk...i was pricing things out to put a v8 in a focus. I guess its a cheaper hobbie, but cars will be hard to let go of. Cant have it all.

gasdriverca

Well you'll be lucky if the woman to be will leave you enough money for the RC hobby....lol[sm=lol.gif]...huh...women!!!!!
