Default Something for the weekend

Hi all, Yet again i was a little bored and decided to try another variation on cars...

A while ago i used a B4 chassis and a losi xxx rear end to make a mid motor car, it worked really well IMO...

I was looking at making a slim X-6 with my carbon fibre chassis but the amount of parts id need to make wasnt really achievable with the equipment ive got...

So, I decided id do the same thing i did to my B4 all that time ago, but to use the slim carbon fibre chassis i had made by Jay

After a couple of days work and various parts tried and broken, heres what ive come up with...




Comments as always are welcome!

Tah, Tom

Thanks, i need to get the plastic prototype bits made in carbon fibre and its all done, bit expensive though unless i do it myself but then there is the accuracy issue. Testing tomorrow though so fingers crossed!!

Well i drove the car last sunday for the first time and i have to say it went pretty well!! Very smooth and consistent. The only problem was the old brushless that i used was a bit slow so i lost out on the straight, It was brilliant through the twisty bits so i made my time back up there.. I let a fellow driver have ago and i get the impression he liked it, I just need to figure out a way to get more droop.

Now all that needs to be done is for the proto part to be made out of carbon fibre and to find more droop.

Tah, Tom
