I'm using a Novak Rooster esc, 2S lipo or 6 or 7 cell nimh. I'm using 2.2 rims front & back in the snow shots. I'm going back to 1.5 - 1.6rims front & back with approximately 2.875 dia. front tires and 3.325 diameter rear tires. The tires won't be here for a few days. I'll post a few shots t...

Any particular turn?

My original motor gave up, circa '84. Looking for recommendations for a new motor, just for bashing around.
thanks.

J-sou I'd appreciate it. I realize the M chassis & hpi chassis's are going to be too wide. The bus inside width is 6". I picked up some 1.6 wide slicks which I'll mount on widened hpi fuchs wheels. So the hub to hub width needs to be about 4.5" . If I can't find something I'll make a s...

I recently picked up these spiked tires for 1.5" rims. The tires are new, but no markings on the tire and no packaging.

Unfortunately the -06 chassis won't work due to the motor hanging off the back. The chassis is for an existing Team Bluegroove VW bus body. The -05 chassis came with the 3 option wheel base layout. I built mine to the 210mm wheel base. Other than the M series chassis and the HPI cup racer chassis I ...

I'm looking for either a M-02 or M-04 (both rear wheel drive) 210mm wheel base chassis. The M-05 chassis had the option of S, M, L wheelbase, does the M-02 & M-04 have the same options, or is there a different part number for the different chassis lengths.
thanks.

Yes, I run the chassis with and without tracks. A link to the tracked version http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=32298&start=15

Here's a short video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crHlnNX_HF0&feature=youtu.be

I bought the worm drive & gear drive motor on ebay. The cross shaft is 6mm and rides on 4 - 6mm bearings in bearing mounts on the bottom of the ramps. 4 - 4mm bearings support the wheel mounts.

hauler bus side.jpg This is another M-05 based project I finished. The M-05 front section is a great platform for custom projects. I sectioned a Tamiya Unimog body, cut on a band saw, and made the rear aluminum plate. The bed tilts though a worm drive system. Some details: M-05 front section, 3Raci...

This is the first time I've tried something like this, so there are no ignorant questions. Steers like a blizzard/tank. I use a Futaba 4yf set to mixer mode for the steering. Turning is by the motors running at different speeds. I made the wheels, they're slotted for the stock Tamiya pin drive. With...

A video is coming. Here's an up date. I started this project intending to use the left over rear suspension parts from the other project. I ended up replacing the stock parts with 3Racing parts. The only Tamiya parts are the 2 drive belts. I made the aluminum wheels to replace the rubber ones. Too m...

6.5mm or .250" thick. 210mm wheel base, has about .250" wheel base adjustment. Uses the stock mini body, HPI Porsche RSR body, Team BlueGroove bus body. I use the bus body when using the tracks.
