Looking ACE Mark....Just hitting F5 all the time now :D

Very sweet car!

How does it run compared to a standard B4?

Can't believe that was machined by hand - simply amazing! How long does the machining take per chassis?

Your car does look good Scott/Mark :D

And up against it, don`t it look like the X6 ate all the pies !!! :woot:

How does this chassis change the performance of the car?

To be honest I found the car great on high traction surfaces, it jumps well and I found it nice and easy to drive, we havent done alot of testing with the car so have just been using B4 set ups on it so far.

We have only ran the car the the Petit RC (carpet), Eden Park (Astro), Will Johnson ran it at Worksop and Spud 31 ran it at Stofold so its early days!

When I get some chassis made up it would be good to get some set up work done on different surfaces etc.

Aran 04-05-2010 01:45 PM

does the chassis just fit saddles? or can it be adapted for sticks? :P

MHeadling 04-05-2010 02:25 PM

Hey Aran, You would be hard pushed to fit a stick pack in it!

It was designed around saddle packs. There is just enough room for the electrics let alone a stick pack battery!

Aran 04-05-2010 03:02 PM

yeah i thought that, what might be an idea then is to have a low profile servo but mount it up right, there might be a shell issue but there could a more forward cab shell.

im planning on trying to get all the weight in the centre on my standard b4 chassis, just waiting to get a low profile servo. saw a guy do it to a ansmann mad rat. see how it goes :thumbsup:

thanks

Thomas P 04-05-2010 03:26 PM

Wow, Scotts car looks real good!! cant wait to get one of thoose :)

Sk8er_alex 22-05-2010 09:38 PM

Very unique car looks strong have you got the final shell design yet

Thomas P 23-05-2010 06:00 AM

Any updates Mark? :)

MHeadling 23-05-2010 09:48 AM

My proto chassis is being drawn in CAD at the moment, this should be done next week and then I can e-mail this drawing out to get some prices for machining some chassis.

As for the shell it will be the same as what's in the pictures!

I'll PM all the interested people once I have a price worked out, it will be a limited run if cars, 10-15 max. It's going to be an exlusive club owning one!!!

Thomas P 26-09-2010 02:46 PM

Sweden calling Mark, any updates on the SMR4 ?

MHeadling 26-09-2010 03:16 PM

Hi Guys, sorry I have not updated this post in a while, been busy with other things!

No news on the car really, my Cad guy is taking ages and the kick up on the chassis will cost alot to machine etc so it seems like this project will be shelved I'm afraid!

Thanks for all the interest in the car!
