kiza1208 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I want to make a 1:10 scale rc car but don't know what chassis to use or what parts to put on the chassis if some one could help me. I am also after a group B rally car shell or a group N to use. any advice is gratefully appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will16 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Could you a Tamiya e.g. TA01, TA02, TB01, DF03RA, XV01. Others make such as "Rally Legends" do chassis and Group B bodies together. There used to be a company who did a few Group B bodies, called Controlfreax. Unfortunately they have gone . Tamiya do a Escort Cosworth body, good for Group N.

kiza1208 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 thanks can you tell me what type of motor and esc to use??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will16 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'd start with standard Tamiya 540 Silver Can to get your driving skill up. These work with the Tamiya TEU-105KB or any other Tamiya ESC. Infact most ESC's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadJFly Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Theres some fastrax ones on ms that look just like the tamiya rally blocks but for about half the price, I think I'll get some in my next ms order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysmini Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Most Tamiyas make a good rally base, TB01's and XV01's were designed for it as was the DF03RA. TA01/02's are good off-roaders and handle well, but after that the TA series are road only without a few mods. TT01 can be modded with a Dremel for more clearance, and the TL01 has good height but it's spine style chassis can leave the battery open to damage. Fast trax tyres are good and grippy, but a little softer than Tamiyas. HPI do Pirelli tyres that look the dogs and grip really well to.

tonysmini Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They are okay but they pack with dust too much for me, now these are my favourite for both looks and performance. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-pirelli-t-rally-tire-26mm-d-compound-2pcs-/rc-car-products/13712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer7 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My first rally car was the xv01 very impressed, and a joy to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteppic Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Have to agree with Tonysmini, the HPI tyres are outstanding. Good grip, don't get too clogged with muck and look like proper gravel tyres too. The price is also pretty good. I have run both the D and S compounds, S much gripper and also better in the cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysmini Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I run S on the front and D on the back of a TB01 by mistake rather than on purpose, it turns great and power slides the rear just like a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Only semi related (sorry) but I'm going to get a set of these...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251418637723?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Initally for a 1/10 buggy but really makes me want a rally car! Well more a x games esq time attack car but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamiyaM05Mini Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Even though it is not 4WD the Tamiya M05RA is actually really good. If you get a Hobbywing Dust proof and water proof esc and 13t brushless motor combo, you will be going very fast. Even faster with a 2s Lipo. They can come with a Swift S1600 shell or a Alpine A110. The FWD M05 chassis has tones of hop up options and lots of spares available. I don't know if you can still buy the M05RA Renault 5 Turbo Kit, as that fits the group B requirement.

Pteppic Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I got the Renault 5 M-05ra for Christmas. Took a little hunting around but there are a few still out there. Only just finished the build and not run other then around the house so far, but handling looks to be very crisp. Technically it's not Group B as it's a 1981 spec Renault (so Group 4) the Group B spec one was a couple of years later, has a bigger spoiler on the rear of the roof, and was called the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo. I'll take my anorak off now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamiyaM05Mini Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Haha, my friends one has a spoiler and the front lights, so thought it was a group b kit. Yes they are very nice, I'm gonna try get another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteppic Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Group B one also has extra supports for the Spoiler (Group 4 was just a an extension of the roof) See here: http://www.g-forum.net/cars2/rag.html for rear of Group B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
