I want to build a 4-2 chassis Dogfighter.

Post by **Bormac** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 8:11 pm

For as long as I could remember I always wanted to build a similar car to the one Masami and the other Yokomo Team drivers drove at the 89 Worlds in Australia.

I have an 870c with the 91 model suspension arms and hubs but I know these will need to be swapped out with some original rears to go up front and a pair of wider delrin arms with AE hubs for the rear.
Also the chassis will need to be swapped out for the 4-2 design. I am prepared to machine this myself but I will need to work out a design to copy from.

If you are in a position to assist me can you drop me a PM and we'll go from their.
Pics to be added shortly.

I am pretty sure I saw someone here replicating this and machining chassis'. take a look through the old posts, maybe they can make extra. -Jeff

hey Jason,

I've also been wanting to put one of those cars together. Here's a picture of the chassis.

Regards,
Roger

I was going to ask why you weren't going to use 1700 sce cells....then I remembered that you actually ran your cars

I have some SCE cells which I could run but might save them ones for display only. I have a pile of SCRC cells begging to be run.

hi,

how did you go at making the chassis???

does anyone have dimensions i can use?....and have most of the parts now and are looking at making up the chassis.

If you guys can get me some detailed info,, I can cad it up,, and cut too.

Given the basic layout of an 870c, I could probably work off that picture and get something pretty close drawn up. If we are trying to repro an actual specific item, then my version will be off, but I could surely make it fit and work.

thats the closest layout to masami ive seen....so anything like that would be grateful.
