An Idea I Had Which Might Seem A Bit Mad

There was me thinking this thread would run over xmas! Nice job, and fast too!

@ gt6++ the arms and everything is TL-01 standard stuff apart from it's got UJ's all round.

Thanks for the comments, a few shots with the runner bodyshell on

It goes very well i'm impressed with the performance of it just with the 21 T pinion and a TZ.

I think with the 23 T pinion and a speed tuned gear set it would be fast enough to be a handfull on anything other than an oval track for me

Thanks for reading and maybe this build has inspired someone to have a go at this easy conversion for themselves.

Cheers

Ben.

Thanks for a fantastic build thread - I'm sure my results won't be nearly as tidy as yours, but I'll do my best to do a good build thread.

The stance looks really interesting - I used to be into 1:1 minis and that wide track make it look like it's a Mini with running gear from another car (which I guess it is!) Best of luck running it, get us some videos next time you're rallying on the sand

Thanks, next time we get out with them i'll get some footage and post it up, one thing that's immediately obvious is the gain in excelleration over an M03 even with a hot motor etc, due to the extra grip and drive i suppose.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread.

Great thread, I never got around to chopping up my TL before I sold it on, though I did pick up a shortened TB chassis which might do , but it needs a cleaning.

I tried a M03/M04 twin motor job, http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...90&sid=5109 but front and rear gear ratios were off, and I had nowhere to put the second battery ( I used 2xESC and 2xBattery) so I lashed it on top with cable ties, which resulted in a pretty top-heavy chassis!

One thing I might recommend us to use M03 arms and shafts, to bring the wheels back under the body? You'll probably lose a little in ride height/articulation, but less than you might think, since you're running long shocks and rally blocks.
