Looks real cool Thomas! I'm really curious as to what kind of run time and power you'll get form the 380 size setup. Keep us posted :thumbsup:

I think the cab needs to be bigger and go slightly further down the car.

get a 540 motor in there, I can easily kill a 380 or 400 motor in an 18th scale car.

I like to see these away from the norm ideas :thumbsup:

This will be so agile!

How about lower towers, getting the front shocks on the rear and TC shocks on the front. Even lighter and lower CG :)

Actually, that brings me to look through old pictures, you're not the first one to do this:)

Jupp, that's my buddys XXX-CR with it's sides cut of. It shall be said that this was run with regular race gear, although I don't think he ever weighted up to legal weight. Due to the cutaway sides, the flex caused extreme grip, so it would have become his wet race chassis, had he ever continued to use it.

Very cool project you got, so keep going!!

This looks awesome Thomas, coming from TC you just don't see this kind of thing.

Really loving all the innovation here in offroad and this thin4 especially.

Very cool mod Thomas! :thumbsup:

But make a Durango (the prototype) shell instead, that's soooo cool!!! With cooling "shark gills" type of vents... :wub

Light cars on astro is BIG fun!!!

Thanks guys... My dream is a RebelB4 , but il be making my new Thin4.1 this weekend

SHY	29-09-2010 09:13 AM

RebelB4 - what would that be?

Btw I myself tried 4 cells NIMH and a 3,5 turn (in an X-6) a couple of seasons ago, before we had lipo... it was clear to me already then that a light car on astro is awesome!!!

Could you show us step-by-step how you make that body next time?

Yes il do that SHY. My 4wd is still just above the weight limit, dont belive in weight cars :)
