Bolink lightweight Challenger 1/12
so this one has been sitting and caught my eye so as if i didn't have enough builds The chassis is a factory lightweight carbon peice also the radio tray is a lighter fiberglass version. The wheels will be the standard rc12e wheels that bolink silkscreened there name on but i have turned them down a bit. The front rims i turned down on the lathe like Kent Clausens rc12i. Body is a bolink schkee also bolink diff and all new bolink hardware .

Very slick. Did they have the motor mount on both sides so that they only had to make one piece, or is there something I'm not thinking of?

Re: Bolink lightweight Challenger 1/12
In the Southern Hemisphere the motor rotation is reversed by the polarity of the earth, so the motor is mounted on the other side of the chassis since it is technically running upside down to where it was designed.THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:Very slick.

BTW, I am not normally a Bolink fan at all, but this is pretty slick!

Holy Crap! I never even thought about that. I knew the toilet swirled the other way, but that just blew my mind a little...Charlie don't surf wrote:In the Southern Hemisphere the motor rotation is reversed by the polarity of the earth, so the motor is mounted on the other side of the chassis since it is technically running upside down to where it was designed.THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:Very slick.
