So after completing many varied builds, I've once again found myself embarking on a 1:6 build, the basis of this build will be truggy running gear on a polycarbonate chassis

Something which I've never seen done before so I thought I'd try my hand at it.

May as well start somewhere, so chassis is first thing to be sorted.

Created a crude template DWG file for amari plastics to cut from

And I've tarted up a new bright hummer h2 body somewhat too.

Will update progress when chassis arrive

Here's part 2 of plastic fantastic build.

Inc its first maiden run!

Kept things civil as I noticed some snagging on launch, coming from front diff!

So spent over £100 on gears today! Going to under drive the rear with 33/8 as opposed to 43/10, effectively giving a 25% decrease ....should be interesting to test!!

Still needs work in areas!

P.s my throttle epa is set to 7 to curb wheelie action

FYI, a company back in the early 2000's called bomb proof products made an extended poly-carbonate chassis for the E-Maxx. Was during the infancy of brushless and still sing nimh batteries. They lowered the CG, allowed higher battery cell counts, and made the original E-Maxx more stable.

Good luck on your project.

F.i.M.S presents Rc. · 08-29-2018, 04:47 PM

Yeah I saw them, I think they used a combination of alloy and polycarbonate for the chassis itself ....
