How does that rear axle survive?

yea it looks like it should be 2x the size it is, i was just happy to see someone take on a rc 3wheeler project

[fastang]

I remember a scratch built quad in RCCA many years ago that was bad A$$. I would love to see pics of that again!

[wts873]

That axle looks like a coat hanger!

[Asso_man!]

lol for that rear axle, how about this one?

[longboardnj]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS Asso_man i remembered that pic ..i think from caraction ..that was the only real rc 3wheeler i could remember(besides the cheezy rc 3wheeler i made with a friend when we were kids)...that and the tamiya sidecar(always wanted one of these) http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tamiyabase.com/images/official/official_58017.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tamiyabase.com/1to1scale/real_58017.htm&usg=__cefpCTGY8zEJS7diF5xW7rtVB-g=&h=355&w=550&sz=32&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=jipwSI5TJ11WbM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=133&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtamiya%2Bsidecar%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GWYE_enUS233US233%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 heres a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=Pmvj_rVnev0

The Kyosho/Graupner sidecar is much nicer than the Tamiya one in my mind, I'd love to get one, one of these days...

That top one looks to be based on the Tandy, (radio shack) Ricky Carmichael trail bike, I imported one a while ago, pretty cool, they take a brushless setup easy enough, I got a full one and maybe enough bits for a project like that.
As to 3-wheelers

I have seen those things go for INSANE prices.

[Asso_man!]

I know Jay, two of them sold recently in Germany respectively 500 and 750 Euros... top $$$ indeed but they are very rare and have not been produced for a long time (one or two years I think). I like their "vintage" design and scale proportions, very cool

[vanpeebles]

I bought an RC10 that was converted to a 3 wheel trike. Must of been a half done project, had a seat, fuel tank and a little model engine.

[Mr. ED]

robbe or grauper had an offroad 3-wheeler ages ago

[tomolupus]

Kyosho made this ATC

[Mr. ED]

yes, that's the one the german company imported and distributed under its own name
