2WD ?

[kaylon]

So we have the Phat's Chunk...and TamTech. What other 2wd choices are there? Do many people run custom rigs?

I've had a good old search around the tinternet and I'm not fining many options.

Is it worth considering a 2wd to run at time along with my 4wd?

Thanks

Most of the 2WD's in the 1/16th class are Phat Bodies Chunk's, however at UKMicroX 2011 Scott Dumayne entered with his extended Losi Mini-T and shocked quite a few people at how easily he seemed to be abl to keep up (and sometimes pass!) the bigger cars.

Tamtech is great if you want a giggle, but pants for competitive racing.

Your options are basically a Chunk, extended Mini-T, homebrew extended Thunder Tiger ZT2 (awesome cars) or make your own car

You never know..we might see some more cars in the coming 12 months or so though. So many rumours

No matter what though, 2WD 1/16th is a viable class that is growing, albeit slowly.

If you get bored easily then doing 2 classes seems to be the way forwards to kill the time between rounds

The chunk looks the nuts and I really hope the class grows as I would love to run 2 cars ...all I have to do is find a chunk? anybody?

the chunk is a kit build using parts mainly from the b4 then other bits from carisima gt14b and custom made bits from phat bodies fair bit of work involved but great car

the mini t the cosie is on about I race against every week at broughton and scotty keeps getting faster. micro x was his first run out with that chassis so by the time the nationals come round watch out chunks. The kit is an exotek pro uk used to be able to get them from dms for about £100 for that you got a brand new mini t pro and the conversion kit

i have also heard rumblings about some other conversion's in the offing just a case of watch this space

I'm aware of both conversions, I nearly converted B4 and relevant extra parts to a chunk a few months back but ended up doing another atomic carbon 1/10 instead ...I nearly got the exotek also but my mates all run micro 4wd so I stayed that side...I'm going to perhaps do the chunk if PhatBodies will still produce kits before crimbo

they have just changed the kit to include an ali chassis instead of the carbon one they say it helps with how the car handles and you dont need to do as much work on the b4 front end to fit it now
