Wheelbase-shortening?. :)

[gozone 30]

Hi all.. Does anyone know if it is possible to shorten the wheelbase of either DF-03 RA, TA-02 or TT-01 so I can fit the Lancia 037 hardbody onto the chassis?.. Would prefer if it was possible without any cutting, but simply by swapping arms aroud, so if anyone has tried this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I found this "chart" on another forum, but I can't vouch for its accuracy:

TA-02 chassis + TA-01 arms Wheelbase =234mm
TA-02 chassis + flipped TA-01 arms Wheelbase =250mm
TA-02 chassis + TA-02 arms Wheelbase =257mm
TA-01 chassis + TA-01 arms Wheelbase =257mm
TA-01 chassis + flipped TA-01 arms Wheelbase =273mm
TA-01 chassis + TA-02 arms Wheelbase =280mm

Looks like the first combo would get you closest to the Lancia wheelbase from the TA-03, which I think was 237mm.

Also check out this thread, loads of info on the 037 body: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70807&st=0

Thanks a lot, Guys.. Loads of great info there.

I have a box full of old TA-01 and 02 stuff, and a couple of complete chassis, so I guess it´s just a question of getting started mix-matching some bits and pieces.

Cheers..

I think TA02 + TA01 rear arms is the right choice imho.
