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 ! :D

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.

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.

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?

The body is perfect. The whole thing is killer but I'm impressed most by the scaled down body

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..........

Think you need to properly go through that link as he has listed all items and where to get.

I just want a pre-built one. I don't want to go through the hassle of sourcing all the parts myself.
