Nick Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I ponder this sometimes, if as a community we could design and build our own RC car... what scale would we choose? What model type? What would our communal goal be that we'd want from an RC car? All hypothetically speaking but I thought I'd just shoot this out there. 😉 I feel with us mostly being bashers, then strength, simplicity and value would be the core principles. Scale and model type is a hard one, 1/8th or 1/10th comes to my mind but it's hard to pin down where to try and get your foot in the door with the model type, with most being done to death already. Lets discuss. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Short Course, large, easy to work on, electric and really rather fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Same as above also more choice with the body shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrylemming Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Tricky but I'd love something that combined Tamiya quirkiness with 6S brushless power and modern durability. Imagine a 1/7th 6 wheeled thing that could be sent on a BMX track with a sensored system and locking diffs so you can then take it crawling. An Arrma Nero/Traxxas Summit/Tamiya Dynahead crossover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to jump on Extreme E marketing and make a bodyshell for a SC chassis. Edited April 28, 2022 by lorrylemming 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 For me i think 1/14th scale MT brushless but super strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) i would just build something like a mini hyper 7 and call it a day, the toughness of a hyper in a mini about the same size as a losi mini b or t 😄 could be used in gardens and fast in open spaces and 6000kv minimum on 2s or above plus optional gyros and wings, with a wee ramp to launch it 😄 Edited May 4, 2022 by Yrkoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Well I sort of did make my own car.well the chassis for it. And the wheels. I also plan to design the gearbox and a set of axles for it later on. It's a sporty rock crawler. So designed to climb as well as possible. And forgoes scale looks good for abilitys.
