Pumpkin chassis ref

Recommended Posts

Was this the case for the 1/12 & 1/10 scales?

trying to upgrade the dampers in my 1/12 but as a newb I’m getting confused

they did call the CW-01 a 1/12th yes, but then again the 2 subjects were fullsize (ie oversized) American van & pickup truck :) 

physically they've ended up being about same size as a M-chassis (which started life as a 1/10 of the tiny Morris Mini). But when Lunchbox came out there was no such thing as 1/10 touring cars yet. 

 

What dampers are you needing?

CVAs are typically "Short" or "Mini" but they can be built to accomodate slightly different lengths in between.

Aftermarket shocks usually just get specified by (full extended) length.

Have you seen these ones?

tag suggests they're commissioned by Hobby HQ (Australian distributor of RC product) but that lot is sold out of Taiwan 

Interesting design of top cap. If I still had a lunchbox runner I'd be tempted.
