The car definately does handle well. I was pushing you all the way last night (till the servo arm failed on your car) and couldnt get past. Car certainly seems well planted.

If I hadn't been made redundant i'd be buying one this month :(

Good luck with the chassis though !

Thanks Jo90
It was going to be a real to the line race!
I like racing when it's like that

Have you noticed you had to change spring rates with the new layout and does the new TD dual slipper work with the conversion? Thanks....

steve73 21-05-2013 05:51 PM

Do you have some photos from the final version with complete electric parts installed?
In this thread i can only find some of the prototype.........

D.A.R.C 1 21-05-2013 06:13 PM

Hi Bman and Steve73
I will post a pic of my race production car with electrics
No sorry the 2way slipper will not fit this conversion
As for spring rates and set up, it has remained the same
Thank you

fifi 22-05-2013 05:04 AM

I think the 2 ways slipper can work.
I haven t done it, but here is what I think.

you put a front shaft in the back.
You reduce the 2 way slipper screw
you dremel the inside nuts from 2 w s

the long shaft is 14mm longer than the normal one.
The chassis is 11mm longer
you need to dremel the screw and the nut of the 2 way slipper to gain 3mm.

Electrics installed in a production chassis

Really nice!:thumbsup:
I like the style of the body
(I really hate cab-forward design :D )

One point a don't understand:
The chassis is longer, but you can still use the original drive shafts?:confused:

there is an extension piece in the rear end of the slipper/drive cup assembly.

Nice !

Remind me about my Durango B4 proto, really like it !

You should have a picture with a neat electro install on your page

sheddy 22-05-2013 08:23 PM

Had a look at the one in the photos last night, fantastic looking kit, and having raced against one last night it certainly goes as well as it looks.

Am seriously considering getting one
