http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...c=43786&hl= I run my ReRe-Brat which has the same chassis as the ReRe-Frog on a ABC TQ100 brushless system. No problems with diff. and gearbox. So this chassis can take a lot. Just try it and don`t fear.

The first mod at hte frontaxle - original coils and unknow damper (Kyosho Optima?) - better but not optimal. The next step dismounted original coils and Tamiya CVA shocks - much better and the possibility to adjust - this mod will stay You can fit any Tamiya CVA coil when you change the coilplate so now this shock is adjustable too. Just some minor improofments, but they make the car more controlable.

Ok boys, here Im again and the Brat is still alive I said before that the swingarmplates a weak point and they still the thing which stop me from running the Brat. But there is help coming. I bought a second pair of plates and double these swingarmplates so this problem should be solved. The driveshaft are going to be changed to universals which even may help a bit. One big change was made to the electrics - I aded a gyro to get the car under control. Especialy when you exellerate on slippery surface the Brat was uncontrolable, so the gyro which I had with the 11turn motor was a "must have". Piniongear and diff are still original and have no wearout. So stay tuned for "The Brat journey across the brushless universe"

Have a look at the ReReFrog - almost bulletproofet and if your not going to race it against modern rc-cars lots of fun. Or the ReReBrat which brought me bach into buissnes ;-)

Thanks a lot for this, I was close to clean a lexan shell with ovencleaner. So nitrofuel is the only way?

Brakefluid works well on ABS bodies but NOT on lexan. Lexan will get milky. For removing paint from lexan ovencleaner or nitrofuel has been recomended.

Loaded this was a very interessing excurtion to collectors world. I was into ols Kawasaki motorbikes and like you do with NIB, I just bought spares just for trading. Sometime you would get a part not for money and word, so you have to over something from your collection. I never tought that its running the sameway with Tamiya. Thats meens to me that some parts are rare as a blue martius and just got traded form collector to collector.

Tamiya - 53908 Thats the kit that sould fit. I got the advise here on TC and will try it with my next part order.

While Im in love with small cars and especialy Fiat I would like to see a cinquecento - seicento the new 500 a 126 or maybe a Fiat Ritmo Abart MK1 - all can be based on the M-chassis Or to fullfill my wildest dream - a Merc SSKL - Bently Blower - Bugatti 57... - no idea which chassis will make things like this possible.

Yeah the Stelvio or Stilfserjoch is very close and a perfect mountain road. If you own a motorcycle take this for the Stelvio The track in Imst is owned by the club and you have to ask them before start driving, but that wouldnt be a problem.

Imst has an RC- tarmac track Motorsportclub Imst Innsbruck/Kematen has another track, but they dont have a weblink. Contacts can be made trough the Motorsportclub Imst. 1:1 Offroad is nearly impossible because mountain areas have a very slowly growing flora so anywere offroaing is prohibited. Ther is a offroad club in the Stubaital which has a training ground maybe you try it there. In Roppen is once a year the truck trail championship but the rest of the year the ground is shut.

So it has to be a Simca - for an Aronde it is to big - maybe an Ariane? edit. I dont belive that it is that new that it could be a 1300/1600

Thread can be shut - car is sold.

Its not realy a truck or is it? Did you thought about a ReReBrat? I love mine more then any other car I have. It could take so much, even if you go crazy like me and put a brushless inside which gives wings to the thing. Good looking and nearly every driving mistake forgiving the Brat will allway paint a smile on your face. And you get to fantastic shells with the ReRe - the ABS for the Shelf and the Lexan for running it. so what you waiting for?

The speedo looks french so my gess would be a citroen ami 6

This may help you As you know Tamichel you maybe could make a contact about him as he is a member od this board too.

If you take oil or coal for geting electricity you are absolutly right - thats the point why the Hydrogen car not in production - to much engerie needed to produce hydrogen. The question is - can we use water - sun and what ever to get energie in the same amount as we need it to replace oil? using the tide is a new way to get electricity aout of the sea - windpower is nowadays a comon stuff - burning things to get the heat to boil water to run a turbine is a very inefficent way to get energie - so let find a way to get engergie without burnig oil coal or what ever. Even burning biologicalfuel is not the best way - you see the prices for food rise and they coulndt produce enought even for the 10% that the EU will put into oilpetrol at 2010.

If a Bank charges you more for sending money inside europe as they would do for a inside your contry transaction it is illegal. There is a european law that any banktransfer inside the EU must be done for the same cost as for an incountry transaction. I hear this now for the second time britsh banks will charge there customers - but I couldnt belive it. I dealed with modelbuild.uk and even with the board sponsor modelsport without any problem and also with a tc member (gruntfuggly - hi Nige!) and they all havent got charge by their bank for getting money from outside brittain. So whats the point in using PayPal inside europe? Outside Europe I agree its a save and easy way to pay, but you can do it with a creditcard nearly in the same way.

1.5 ton for a midsize car? Even a Ford Fiesta has nowadays the weight of 1 ton! any body wants airbags aircondition stereo doby suround sond and and and so the weight grows up! You couldnt sell a car nowadays without this things ABS ESP and what ever. 100KW for a 1,5ton 5passenger car isnt that much when you look at the most sold petrolcars. If a electriccar will have any chanche on the market it MUST compare with these. Yes we live in an oilcultre, but we live in the last decade and if we doesnt wake up and look for alternatives we will end up in stoneage. No Oil - No energie - so you have to take horse and wagon and sit at the campfire! nothing left from our technologie without energie. Im not the one who belives in all these climateterrorist which say we have to came back to the staoneage to save the planet. I just see if there is no technologie to replace oil we will came back to stoneage anyway!

Just to make this thread a "thinktank". What does a car needs to be a sucsess on the market. Size: midclass car between Golf and Passat or Focus+Mondeo Power: 100kw should be OK for nearly anybody Operration range: 400km+ would be a dream if you want to travel - for daily traffic 100km+ is Ok Charge: more then 1hour is in exeptable when you compare with petrol cars is even this to much - but after 400km a break for an hour should be OK That meens we need a 100kw brushless to cary a 1,5 ton car and this for 400km - how many amps on how many volts? What size of Lipo accu do we need and how to charge a lipo in this big size with 1C? Maybe we can figure out a way "howtodo"

There is something I dont understand. Everybody is upset about the PayPal fees but anybody uses it. Even here on TC a lot of members write in their trades PayPal only! If you trade inside the EU its a waste of money! Sending Money from Bank to Bank with IBAN and BIC wouldnt cost you something - nore the seller or the buyer! The only thing is it needs 3 to 7 workingdays and you dont have this buyersprotection that PayPal offers, but thats for nothing like we have seen that many havent got their money refund by Paypal. So my way is I dont use PayPal inside Europe and buy as less I can on the Fleabay. Mostly I trade on RC-Boards like TC or the German Monstertruck Forum. thats the way it hurts Ebay when noone buys and the traders left to.

If it is this part you need it will be on the way when you send me your adress.

I just own the ReReBrat which has the same chassis as the Frog and can just tell you go for the Frog. I was driving a Hornet and was a bit disapointed about the handling - the COG seems to be a bit high at the Hornet so it loves to rollover. The Brat/Frog is even not a modern car but it has so many possibilities to make it "your" car. Im now running a mighty brushless system and CRP shock and Im nearly happy with my Brat. If you would ask me if I would buy it again I would say "yes - five of them" Its relaiable and nearly bulletproofed the only weak point is when you go for an motor like mine change the alloy swingarmplates for stronger ones and look out for universals because the dogbone will flip out when the swingarmplate gets bend outwards.

I would love to see a Fiat Seicento to build my own car There have been rallyecars based on this little fellow to - way not bring up one of these on a M-03?
