I assume it's not far from the car in the worlds report ?
Personally I hope it's better as that looked pretty average !

It was the CAT which first had the dodgy silhouette ;)

Motor on the other side? Thats a little strange. I noticed that the prototypes at the worlds didn't have this. I cant quite see how mid motor will work, or how you can use a single shell for both configurations? The next round of pics will be interesting.

...And people were nagging it would look too much like the TLR22 because the motor position would be reversible...

I love it! :thumbsup: It's quite a lot of plastic for Durango, but knowing how good and accurate their parts were on the DEX410 I built, that's not an issue at all! Love the idea they have a patent pending for... Perhaps something to look up soon (if it's pending, it should already be published, right?) :confused:

well, although the shell is quite low at the back it's only the motor height it really needs to clear so it keep the larger part of the gearbox where it is and link the pinion somehow into it...

just a random guess

I can't wait :D

looking at the photos of the worlds there are a few alu parts in places where there are plastic on these photos. although the bootsy photo is a completely different car there are a couple of items that could fit both

My guess is that it looks like you can run a 4 gear or 3 gear box in either mid or rear motor config. So you can choose what way you want the motor to throw its inertia, thats my guess for what the patent may be for, if so thats a pretty cool idea :thumbsup:

Looks v nice. When will it make uk debut?

Dudders 29-07-2011 08:15 PM

Slipper adjustment is still on the right side from the rear

I believe it's a mirrored layshaft so you can put the motor+motorplate on the other side. ;)

At the oOple race this weekend :thumbsup:

Nothing too new there in suspension layout or geometry.

Interesting there is no pic of it assembled mid in motor config.

Is this the first production car ready to race with the motor rotating the 'wrong' way? Not sure how prevalent this config will become lol. Is there a thread somewhere discussing how this affects a car?

Looks lots nicer than any B4 variant conversion available at the moment (or not);).

All in all a very nice looking car.

The motor isn't spinning differently to the b4 setup. if there are still 3 gears in the transmission it'll still spin the opposite way to the wheels.

It just so happens to be mounted the other way round. Makes no difference to the way it spins. :)

Rebelrc 29-07-2011 10:50 PM

Looks Great!
Thats going to be quick.
a well executed design ( not rushed ):)
hats off... round of applause to durango.

Ben Turner 29-07-2011 11:07 PM

Looks good! Was expecting more aluminium... but maybe they are aiming to compete with the Losi 22 price wise?? Looks like steel turnbuckles, and with the moulded towers, perhaps they are trying to keep the price down? :)

The motor will spin in the same direction, but the car would be running backward! To run the motor on that side of the car you need a 4 gear box and then the motor will rotate in the same direction as the wheels. Makes no difference whether the motor is mounted in front or behind of the shock tower in terms of the direction of rotation, it does matter which side it is on.
