Micro Info Please

[Chris-DC5]

Hello,

I am new to this fourum but have been racing Rc for a while now.
I race at Caldicot on a friday night with a B4.1 Buggy.

I would like to have a go at Making a 4WD Micro but need some info please.

Wheelbase??
Track??
Gear ratios used??
Final running weight??

Many Thanks

Chris

Try ukmicrorc forum for info. All the current regulations on there.
A company called phatbodies makes a b4 based micro (2wd) called chunk.
Also a touring car based 4wd but i think this was just put together for his own entertainment. Its well worth a look. :thumbsup:

Wheelbase?? 190mm max (get as close to this as you can)
Track?? 209mm max (200mm to 205mm seems optiamal)
Gear ratios used?? Internal ratio 2.5:1 IMHO
Final running weight?? 900g seems optimal power to weight ratio

Have had a bit of a brain wave on how to make the drive train.

will let you know when i have made some progress.

Thanks

Chris.

[adamjimny]

That micro you have pictured looks gorgous! What parts have you used chassis arms diffs etc cos I want one ha

[danmurphy]

Thud's looking good :thumbsup: Do you have any test videos Simon?

[baggy]

where did you get all that purple from and what rc cars can you get them for please. ive only seen silver or blue and i really like the purple :)

[adamjimny]

Its schumacher mi3.5 touring car parts which come as standard in the kit. i read up on his build and was drooling

[baggy]

will they go on other cars, say if you mod the shock tower. i noticed these ones are polycarb (which ive got to say look sweet) . would these hold up in off road.

[adamjimny]

i have no idea as he made the micro buggy all custom but it may do who knows
