I agreed to not show anything too revealing, this and the slim4 are really interesting projects and I can't wait to get my oOple hands on them for some reviewage.

Is the slim2 on a backburner at the moment with the Slim4 taking centre stage ? or are you developing both at the moment ?

Call me stupid and slap my knackers! I can't find the pics anywhere - got a link to them?

The slim2 is a long term project like the Slim4, which has been in development for over 1 year, so the slim2 is at a early stage

Photos of the two current Slim2's with diffrent cell layouts, please note that these are the 1st builds off autocad, so i would guess once i have decided which cell layout to go with, they would change from these photos. But early days yet.

BenG · #14 20-09-2006

thats very good

Excellent quality, although that spur gear has an output stuck out, will that be removed?

Northy · #15 20-09-2006

Jonathan, which layout is the favourite at the moment?

Southwell · #16 20-09-2006

I like Spec A layout most but wouldn't that mean you would need cells for 2wd and 4wd?....if you ran slim 2+4.

Northy · #17 20-09-2006

Spec B looks like it would be better ballanced to me.

Mmmm, interesting....

BenG · #18 20-09-2006

I like the idea of having a *top deck on the spec B* spec B looks better IMO

PaulRotheram · #19 20-09-2006

spec A has a top deck too though?

PaulRotheram · #20 20-09-2006

I like Spec B, but the placement seems to be too far back and not enough weight at the front to give additional steering.

All the weight towards the rear, cells + motor could make the car handle bad when traction is low as it could make the car want to 'swing' more.

Spec A seems to have abit more weight further forward, and more centralised than B. but as already said surely you would need two lots of cells to run both the S2+4?
