Unfinished home made short course truck.

Post by RC10th »

I started this project a while ago and spent a lot of time and a few coins on it, however, I lost interest just before completing it. All that is really left to do is make the chassis out of 4mm carbon and figure out a brace for the motor mount. I also started to make a drag reduction wing for the back of the body but that is about the time I lost interest.

It is basically a full suspension truck that if you took off the wheelie bar, shock limiters, and used a normal body you could drive offroad. This truck should do close to if not more than 100mph if the aero, traction and power would permit it. The power system in it will get it close, but if not there is always room for more power. I bough webbing and a special adhesive to belt the tires to keep them together.

Anyways, here it is.
