Never heared of these before! It looks very nicely made though. Just had a look on their website and seems they are 1/8 scale. Is that a Tamiya TS020 body from a TGR you are using?

[M 800STD 586]

@Superluminal  Yes, it is perfectly made.  It is a 1/8 competition pan car.  Only reason for the mods was to fit esc.

The body is from HPI, used on the Proceed.

That is lovely! What an exquisitely simple chassis.  I’ve fantasized about a 4wd pan-car for years.  Bet it’ll be a joy to drive with the high downforce shell.

My thoughts exactly. My old RC12 and Tamiya Group C used to be fun to drive with RWD and a super smooth surface. Just imagine the traction on corner exits (or should that be mid corner now? 👍) with the 4WD !!

@SupraChrgd82  Yes, very simple.  According to designer, inspiration was taken from the Kyosho Fantom. 

The body being used is not competition spec, but a pretty one.

Can't wait to finish and run it.

@InsaneJim69  4wd should be a lot easier/more fun for sure.

60mm rear foams, 400A esc and a fat Lehner motor on 4s, she should be quick.  

[M 800STD 586]

Just need to work out how to mount this...

 

[M 800STD 586]

Battery plate modified, again.  More chassis flex.

As its 4wd does the front axle have a diff somewhere?
