Hi guys for the past 3 days i have been custom building a electric front wheel drive short wheelbased car! I think its a first ,from what i know, for a front wheel drive rc car.
It has been a difficult challenge but so far its goin well, fingers crossed, it has taken alllllot of customisation and fabrication of some parts but its been fun. I used parts from a road car ive had for a while to make the front and rear wheel set up (susspension, wishbones, bulkheads all that stuff) I used a spare Rustler chassis for the chassis but as you will see it has basically been cut in half
The hardest part was making the front wheel drive work with the steering assembly, but i managed to work it out after about 3 hours!!
It is not complete yet i only need a few parts like wheel hexs, pins, a battery pack that i need to make and custom made drive shafts from RS4 (although he hasn't answerd my PM yet )
Also i had to move the susspension further into the wishbones as the steering arms were rubbing this took me ages to figure out because moving the suspension in didnt solve it completely! But me being me i didnt think of the obvious thing putting the steering arms on the underside but atleast it was done.
Now here are some pics of what i did and how far i am at the moment.........
I had to fabricate 2 plastic supports for the servo to sit on.
1)
2)
Its still in the making so may look a bit shabby.
ALSO DO YOU THINK A MINI T BODY WILL FIT? OR WHAT SIZE IS A MINI T SHELL?
Leeeeee.
