Alex's M03 Inconic Cup car.

Recommended Posts

I had an hour free this evening, hubs and links attached. For this I went with M05 hubs, they are a direct fit and improve the geometry a bit. 

 

Hopefully I'll  build the shocks over the weekend and get the ESC fitted, for the motor I'm thinking tamiya toque tuned.

Shocks built, two holes in the chassis drilled for the cables and now all I need is to pick a motor and solder it up. 

 

30mm turn buckles have been ordered so I can get rid of the crappy stock ones.

Yeah Racing do some great quality items at fair prices. Nice looking build. :good:

Thanks, for the money you get a lot. The shocks are £30 and you get a range of pistons and about 5 different sets of springs. I originally had the fastrax ones and they used a spring clip to keep the o rings at the bottom in place, I had three fail on me before I'd even used them so ended up getting a refund.

I put the Yeah Racing shocks on my TT02 SR build I did last year, ...the equivalent Tamiya aluminium shocks were, well, shockingly highly priced! 😮 😀

I know that the tamiya and three racing ones come out of the same factory, no idea about the yeah however I've contacted the shop as there's a section inside the shock that hasn't been plated...

Teams V3 motor fitted, just waiting on the braces and new steering links. 

 

 

The hollow chassis makes hiding the cables very easy, after you drill a few holes.

The car is pretty much finished, bar the quick release battery parts...

 

I started counting the "upgrades" and got this far - 

 

- bearings 

- hex screws 

- oil shocks

- battery holder

- servo mount (same position just metal)

- servo horn (xray)

- cvds 

- carbon fibre braces 

- carbon hollow shafts 

- 3 racing arms 

- M05 hubs 

- adjustable rear camber 

- better steering turn buckles

- upgraded king pin screws 

 

It's pretty much still a standard m03

Looks a really nice build, would like to see a short video of it being driven

Thanks pal, I've been meaning to get out however I haven't had a chance yet. I've ordered the parts to build another m03 as I've already got quite a few of them, you can build one for well under £75.
