yeah gets its first run on a track tomorrow! took it out on the street to make sure it was running strain n all i can say is wow it handles nice! was the first 2wd ive been able to drift controlably! still its in prototype stages so will have to sort out a proper body n stuff but ill work out any flaws as i go never know it could be the new schumacher 2wd.................. lol

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while but based off a Tamiya.

[rowanp25]

this style is nice for a 2wd buggy! i went for the belt drive option mainly because the power delivery is'nt quite as instant as you get with shaft or gears so in theory should be smoother i got a chance to start pushing it yesterday and its pretty quick on low grip being only a second down on my best time with my pred it jumps very consistent and level n the steeing is very sensitive so took some getting used to. i still think theres a few bits to tweak and mess about with before im really happy but still for something i threw together in just over 2 days its really nice to drive. cant wait to get it on an astro track cos then this things gonna be like a missile

[rowanp25]

heres some pics with the electrics in as it was ran last time out apart from the slimmer front tires and retro 3 spokes comments welcome as to anything to try out ect cheers

[rowanp25]

n before you ask nothings touching transmission wise

[rowanp25]

more pics! note losi shocks n tires with actual tread

[rowanp25]

any ideas what kinda body would fit this been looking at the proline rb5 shell but not over confident with the now 5 cell strait

[qatmix]

That looks great!

I've got a box full of buggy bits (old cobra and madcap top force stuff etc) I might have a go at making my own buggy..

[rowanp25]

top force rear with a madcap front could be quite funky! only prob i could see is a lack of slipper clutch........... and difficulty to get parts. i heard the cobra was pretty quick so maybe that transmission with a bit more reliable chassis?
