Wow, we could have some competition at last !!!

There's loads of parts from the Kyosho parts bin that could be useful for the build. If you want to run a 3 gear box make it rear motored. Maybe just shorten the stock plastic chassis, new shorter wishbones ... and your almost there ....

Do it !!1

If you need any pointers don't be afraid to ask ....

How about a mini RB5 ali Vega, now that would be nice!

cheers for feedback n support dudes!!

vega chassis yeah that looks nice but pricey though
but thinking of making an t6 alloy chassis with help of me mate whos got ascess to cad/cam machine
well early days yet,gonna check brca dimensions and rules,
then see what parts are compatible and costs involved
based on cheap n simple conversion

Max wheelbase is 190mm

Max width is 210mm

and 380 motor size

I'm not sure if there is a max wheel size but TC wheels are generally used as the tyre choice is the best. ie Schumacher rally blocks and mini pins ...

other than that pretty much anything goes ...
