Came home to some new parts waiting for me! Some wires and my power kit for the TC6.2. The Motor is a 13.5 for Super Stock, in case I can run in that class, but just in case I have another 17.5T coming for the TC6.2 for stock.
I like how the wires came with loose matching shrink tube
Here is some scale perspective on the bodies, I`m not sure how all the 260mm wheel base stack up in real life, but I thought I would post it here.
Left-Right: Tamiya TT01 E30 M3 = 257mm, HPI E30 M3 = 254mm Wheel base
Bottom-Top: HPI 2002 Cup Racer = 225mm, HPI E46 M3 = 254mm, HPI E30 M3 = 254mm wheel base
Top-Bottom: HPI 2002 Cup Racer = 225mm, HPI E46 M3 = 254mm, HPI E30 M3 = 254mm wheel base
Left-Right: HPI 2002 Cup Racer = 225mm, HPI E46 M3 = 254mm, HPI E30 M3 = 254mm wheel base
These ones I`m trying to show a feel of size in general
Left-Right: Tamiya TT01 E30 M3 257mm, HPI E92 M2 254mm wheel base
Notice how the E30 looks to be a bigger car, which I would have thought it isn't in real life.
Here are the real life dimensions of the M3's
E30
- Wheelbase 2,562 mm (100.9 in)
- Length 4,345 mm (171.1 in)
- Width 1,680 mm (66.1 in)
- Height 1,370 mm (53.9 in)
E36 (not in my RC lineup
)
- Wheelbase 2,700 mm (106.3 in)
- Length 4,432 mm (174.5 in)
- Width 1,709 mm (67.3 in)
- Height 1,336 mm (53.7 in)
E46 My 1:1
- Wheelbase 2,730 mm (107.5 in)
- Length 4,493 mm (176.9 in)
- Width 1,781 mm (70.1 in)
- Height 1,369 mm (53.9 in)
E92
- Wheelbase 2,761 mm (108.7 in)
- Length 4,608 mm (181.4 in)
- Width 1,821 mm (71.7 in)
- Height 1,412 mm (55.6 in)
By those number you can see the M3 has grown in size each series, so this leads me to believe the RC E30 M3 would be better scaled as a 225mm Cup Racer platform.
Here are some real life comparisons from an AutoX I was at.
