chris52 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) well thed speed chassis is nearly finished, chassis made all the running gear is fitted and working. decided to change the picco engines for 2 os 28xz with hong nor big bore pipes. anyway here are a few update pics chris Edited July 25, 2008 by chris52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi-mania Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 are those brake discs carbon? they look mighty chunky do you think carbon brake pads are any good? and also i saw the carbon support going from one end of the chassis to another in the other picture, are they standard or did you get it made/make it?

rcsammy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 how do you get to the low speed needle on the left engine? very impressive project would be amazing to see it go 100+ where did you get the alloy from? iv been looking for some good quality stuff to try and make a chassis out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris52 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 are those brake discs carbon? they look mighty chunky do you think carbon brake pads are any good? and also i saw the carbon support going from one end of the chassis to another in the other picture, are they standard or did you get it made/make it? yes the discs are carbon. dont know if they are any good yet as i havn't tried them. the carbon brace was specially made for a full carbon chassis from an mp7.5. i bought it second hand some time ago so dont know where you could get one from now how do you get to the low speed needle on the left engine? easy answer you can't. the engine needs to be tuned prior to going in the buggy. then you tune the second engine to match. WHOAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! OMG man, lol..that is just looovely. I mean, i love the way you just "decide" to get new stuff, worth a fortune! lol, your a joker mate, really cool! Reall really nice man. Love it. i already had one os2xz and when compared to the picco it just seemed to have way more power. so i got another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harjun Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 ehm Chris, surely that shell isn't very aerodynamical to be going 100mph + :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris52 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 your right mate, but i cant fit a buggy shell on it. i will be looking into other more aerodynamic shells but for the moment this will have to do chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harjun Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 your right mate, but i cant fit a buggy shell on it. i will be looking into other more aerodynamic shells but for the moment this will have to do chris But Chris, is there no way to mount a shell somthing like this So it covers the wheel and stuff, maybe you could try get hold of one asap, tomorrow even, and get some mounting sorted out for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 your right, a shell roughly 50x30cm isnt big at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harjun Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 your right, a shell roughly 50x30cm isnt big at allwhats the problem with a shell that big, and its not even that big anyway, it'd probably be a lot less than that, and i doubt it matters when we're talking about a car here going 100mph+, and also the RC car which went 115mph with 3 Engines had a shell similar to that shape.

ziggy12345 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It was 103mph and the shell was from a Schumacher Menace GT Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
