SpeedDemon 1:10 EP 2wd
Hi
This is a thread on my SpeedDemon project, which is a 1:10 2wd Electric buggy meant for competition. Just as a bunch of people before me, Ive made a midmounted 2wd buggy, difference is that this concept includes a motor mounted along the length of the chassie and not across(Atomic Carbon S2 and Xfactory X6) Ive had a few Ideas on laydown shocks and other fancy stuff, but as I thought it through, I realized I first and foremost wanted to race the concept to see if there was anything worth working on.. So I put together a car with conventional upright shocks instead. I bought a used Kyosho ZX-5 Lazer, and used its complete rearend. And then I had an old Associated B2 laying around, and the frontend of that car is perfect for this kind of build as it just bolts onto the main chassie(5 screws). It only took about two afternoons to put the car together. I have raced two indoor races here in Sweden with it so far. I won the first race and came forth in the second(mostly due to poor driving). Havent got the setup perfect yet though, but Im getting there.. As of now Im just getting started making 3D CAD drawings of the concept. //Morgan aka moleman

Thanks guys!
 I havent tested the car outdoors yet, I think I'll have to have some kind of undertray first, otherwise say hello stripped gears and electrical meltdown. The outdoor tracks we got here are usually made from gravel/dirt and isnt the bluegroove type you see in the USA. Dirt gets in everywhere! But Im really looking forward to seeing how it handles on a loose track with low traction. Indoors on carpet with Taperpin rear tyres it drove through corners like a rocket compared to conventional 2wd's!
