I was wondering if anybody has built a 2wd schumacher with the rear end of a cat sx3 (mid motor) and the front end of a cougar? which would make a similar lay out as the Kyosho DB1. I think that this combination would make a well balanced car. what are your thoughts?
cheers

I have seen one at Silverstone, John Spencer I think (could be wrong though). I can't see how it will different from any mid motor transverse motor car, the DB1 being a very different. concept

Hi Chris, My thoughts where to have the motor midway down the car to make it more balanced which in turn should have the car perform better which is the same as the DB1. the only differance would be the schumacher being belt driven.

Best thing to do is try it mate, I have a db1 and am now making summin simular its about half done at the moment, with my engineering background I like trying stuff and tinkering and see how it goes

I think a similar project has been done with a TRF501X a few years back - the TRF201 wasn't out yet, but the guy wanted a 2WD buggy, so he converted the 501X to 2WD with another front end I believe. I can't find the thread, but it was an interesting project... It should go extremely quick when the grip is there

I've done one, and the bits for conversion are still for sale

Worked really well too.

I've also built a Tamiya 201/502x, but this isn't as good as a Schumi setup, although it does look rather special.
