They don't need to - they fliped side of spur

No Cain its not reversed, since the motor is bolted on in the traditional side of the trans it still spins the wheels in the forward direction.

haha, yeah, your right. new to the whole mid motor thing.

I just got back from my first race with my mid motor car. The first qualifier I busted a rear ball stud, but the second, I I did pretty good, only got marshalled a couple times, and got around a 16 6:18, the 3rd my pt didn't count and it was crappy anyways. Before the last heat, I had a lap over 2nd in the b main, but the second placer pulled off a 16 6:20, so I was still bq, but I thought it would be much closer, but when the main started, everyone exept me crash, and I decided to go slow and steady, no fast laps, but all where very consistent, some how getting a 17 lap b main in, lapping the whole feild effortlessly. When the a main came along, I knew I couldn't win, so I went for a fast lap, getting a 15 lap race in, but with a faster lap then my friend who won the first 2 races and tq'd the first 3 races at the new track, but he was sick and a little slow, but his fastest lap was clopse to where he normally is. I got last in the A, but it was the first time I'd ever been in the A and had a crazy fast lap, and was fast in the B main, so I had a great day at the track. My mid motor car is officilly a wicked fast car in need of a good driver

got the chassis mocked up

Very nice......

Really nice lookin Mopar!!! Heres a couple pics of the MM2-T ready for some oval battling this weekend! It's the truck with buggy R shocks and tower, and the front truck shocks running in the short configuration(academy shocks have 6mm of adjustment for over all extended length) With a Mcallister Oval truck body. Paint by me. All paint by the way.(Except headlights and grille) Enjoy.

Alright guys it's been a good weekend.Finally got to get some track time in with the MM SCT.Went to a SC trophy race with it at Battlefront R/C.I went out the first round and set TQ for the day with a truck that had never touched dirt before!The closest anybody could come all day is with in 6sec. of my TQ pace.I ended up 4th in the main getting hung up in back traffic, but hey TQ on the first run with the truck is good enough for me man.My son also ran the MM2-t in stock truck and TQed with it, and won the main.Included in the price of the trophy race fee was a free entry in the evening off road/oval club program.So we ran the SCT again in the evening along with the mm2-t oval truck conversion. My son ran the oval truck and qualified 2nd,less than a half second off the pace.He finished 2nd after tangling with a marshalls foot a couple laps from the end after leading the whole race. His truck performed great all day.WE had fun with the SCT. During qualifying we took turns running the truck.The 3 of us each ran a qualifier, and who ever got the best time got to run the main.I ran the fastest time tqing the class, so I got to run the main.We were able to get a short vid of the truck on the track during the main.I won the main by the way. so heres the vid guys, enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/user/academyrulz

do you have a higher rez video? Truck looked very good!

I wish I did cain. That vid was shot on my dig.camera, which is only a 4.0megapixel to begin with, and the vid was so short because the batteries in the camera were going. The truck handled great! if the driver(me) was half as good as the truck the combo would be dangerous!!I also have some still shots of other stuff throughout the day I will post up shortly.

Also here are some still shots of the oval cars we were testing.No body off shots on the sprints-they arent finished yet!! sorry about the spots on the lens.It's dew from the camera being hot in the pits and cool in the track area.Enjoy guys.

Also will have a surprise for everybody in a couple daysJust have a couple more peices to fab up and I will have our Losi xxx cr conversion ready to debut!!The truck will be on the way very soon after

So you have

truck
sc truck
buggy
sprint car
1/8 truggy
losi buggy
truck in oval mode

I've lost count, but if you can race them all and they're all fast, congratz. I have a big race this weekend, 4 heats and a main, triple A's, no bumps, hopefully I can keep my buggy together. The tranny case is screwed up so I'll have 1 good side for sure, still looking for the other side, otherwise it will get stupid flexy but it can still race, just screw the screws back in at the end of each race. So far my buggy runs awsome, and jumps a little nose down so its real easy to jump. The only thing I don't like about it being so fast, is when someone is lapping me (during the heats, I have yet to be lapped in a main, I've gotten 1 ad 2 so far) so when a a main real fast guy passes me, some sections I'm faster but I don't want to rear end the guy, why do mid motor things need to be so fast I'll post a full race report after each day.

Yep we been busy guys that's for sure!! And we still have the losi truck and SCT to do be fore we move on to some Kyosho MM conversions, followed by MM conversions for the new TQ racing car and truck!!We are of the opinion that EVERYBODY should be able to buy a MM conversion for their rides if they want, Not just the AE/X-factory guys.Oh and there is a 4wd sct on my workbench right now based on the academy sbv2 4wd buggy that I cant wait to test drive!!!She looks a little hack being all first draft peices, but still looks very sweet! I will share pics of it after I get some testing in with it and see if anything needs re-designed.But what I really cant wait to share will be the sprint!!The finished version is going to look more sweet with the body off than with the body on!! The first version will be based off the Academy gv2 buggy, and will have a Twin Verticle Plate style chassis in a mid motor configuration. And will accept the sprint car body sets that are made by custom works or Mcallister so they should be legal to run by DODC oval rules.

Hope you do well this weekend! Hopefully you can find some tranny cases!!
