alvinlwh 5895 Posted January 3, 2022 So, I managed to get the extra tax I paid back and have a small amount of credit to burn at RCMart. I am interested in a 4WD M chassis (MTC sized) that is 239mm. Other than the Tamiya MF-01X, who else makes that? 3R M4/5 are only 225mm. I already have a M-05Ra, M-06 and a MG Evo so will like to go 4WD. And since I am already paying through my nose for RCMart's sky high postage, I will rather not buy Tamiya (which I can get cheaper locally). A different question is, are there any FR chassis out there? There are some discussions recently about making a TT chassis RWD, effectively making it MR, that got me wondering if there is a scale chassis to mirror a, say MX-5 in real life.

sosidge 624 Posted January 3, 2022 You can get a 239mm chassis conversion for the Xpress XM1. RCMart own the Xpress brand. I haven't seen an FR mini chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I will look into that. The FR question applies to any chassis, TT or MTC sized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you could make an XV-01 rear wheel drive, and there are some front motor drift chassis out there that were originally 4wd but could be easily converted. You've also got mid-front motor options, top end front-wheel-drive racing chassis are mostly mid-front motored, something like an XRAY T4F-21 can be built as a RWD. There are also 4wd buggies with a mid-front motor and shaft drive but I can't think of any touring chassis that use the same layout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked into the XM1 and the conversion is at least half the price of the kit so that is a no go. Probably just going with a 210mm something instead. The FR question just popped up when I saw a TCR-M chassis with a MX-5 shell, which incorrect. After consideration, I will be buying an ESC and program card with the RCMart credit I have, their postage is just unreasonable for most kits, even with their extremely low sales price, making it pointless in the end. I will get something from 3R or At instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KILLorBE 23 Posted January 4, 2022 The only "true" FR chassis I know are the MST FXX 2.0 and FXX-D which are both drift chassis that have the motor mounted in between the front dampers. A chassis with the motor even more in front, which you can easily turn into a FR chassis is the TA03F, or if you want a shorter wheelbase the TA03F-S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
