|  Harleys Playing with his Dinky PeeWee (TCS Gopher) Harley's Dinky PeeWee Gopher  Harley0706 with  &  Well it is time for me to start another build. As tradition I will start the build off with some renderings.  Parts list:
I dropped off all the materials tonight to the Dinky RC Shop. We set the wheelbase at 10.5 inches and worked out a few details and I left it in Matt's capable hands. I snapped a few pics of the early stages and will get them posted soon. The rig is planned to be a runner by Monday or Tuesday. Last edited by Harley; 12-08-2007 at 12:52 AM. |

My guess is because it is going to be a basher and not a comp rig. I got one and and it's going to be 10.5 too for those reasons. | |

Pissat - Passat you clever bastard. What Dez forgot to mention is that he rolls a red VW Beetle! I know it was his because it had a Rose and a TLT axle shaft in the flower vase that is built into the dash. I need to pic my electronics now, I am thinking a cheap LRP AI Runner for the speedo because it is water proof. The reverse delay blows but oh well, but I still can't decide on a motor :? | |

Absolutely. With a short wheelbase and 1.9 tires you don't want very much articulation. There would really be no need for any more the 2" of articulation. With 80mm shocks, even running them completely vertical I still may need to limit them. In addition the link setup is a 40/60 split, so I should have a good amount of control and predictability. Articulation is over-rated  | |
