Re: Mini RC10
Hello Guys,
It's my project that you've seen in these photos, Fibre-Lyte have been developing the gorgeous little chassis.
It's still in development, as you can see there's no steering linckages or dogbones yet, and I'm modelling the
camber links also currently. The body mould is about to be milled and tested too.
Thanks for ideas on electrics. In the pics you see, the tiny flight esc will sit nicely next to the receiver, there's aslo many other
options, including the micro rock crawler combined DSM rx/esc.
The key idea is that the 1 or 2 cell lipo sits into the cabin of the body. That way, all the elecs sit smartly on the chassis.
A 1 cell lipo for this is pretty light anyway.
Thanks for the comments and interest, please keep checking back on progress !

Re: Mini RC10
I'd bet that about half of the guys wanting one, don't care if it drives. It will sit on the desk and we'll roll it around once in a while. More of a novelty than a real RC car.
Also, you can stack conponents, like putting the receiver on top of the battery.
But, the combined esc/receiver,servo might be a good idea. My Dromida buggy and truck have that, seems to work fine.

Re: Mini RC10
I wouldn't care if it actually drove either, BUT there are a ton of micro electronics to make this easily runnable!
Micro Airplanes have vetted the equipment for years.

Re: Mini RC10
Im having two as ive a flat driveway with a rubber coating like Worksop flooring and would be perfect for a small track with jumps for me & my mates when they come down. Really superb.

Re: Mini RC10
Very cool, and Fibre-Lyte's involvement makes it even cooler. Are all of the components custom as well or are they sourced from other models?
Re: Mini RC10
Best to discuss with Nigel as he is the designer / creator but from what I see in those pictures looks like the towers and chassis are cf, the gearbox, motor plate and motor protector look like Losi Micro T parts but he may have done mods so not too sure, the rest im unsure also. Im dribbling in anticipation..........aeiou wrote:Very cool, and Fibre-Lyte's involvement makes it even cooler. Are all of the components custom as well or are they sourced from other models?

Re: Mini RC10
I just want a pre-built one. I don't want to go through the hassle of sourcing all the parts myself.
Re: Mini RC10
Well soon a few will be available, me sourced all the bits for two. One blue, one white. They are going to be sweet.
