AFTER I FINISH THIS SCALPEL IM GOING TO TRY THIS VERY NICE THOMAS

If my car ever looked as nice as yours, i would never play with it.
What benefits do you get from 2WD?

WFO7640

In theory:
1/2 the drivetrain = 1/2 the resultant drag = higher the top speed

In practice:
I think he just likes working on projects that are different.

WFO is right

But there is one other thing, this car feels like 4wd car. im not saying it is..still driving on rears...but the layout etc on the car have some affects on the handling.

My personal opinion, this is close to 4wd.

So the benefits... handles "more" like a 4wd car

And yes, it is fun to work on them

One thing...

If i reverse the motor, and turn the rear diff 180 degrese, what affects will it have ?

WFO7640

As it should.
Since the weight bias of this car is more centered between the axles, some of the inherent handling issues with most 2wd's (that have a great portion of weight behind the rear axle) should be alleviated with the midmotor layout you've designed.

It should still work fine.

If you only reverse one or the other, it'll run backwards.

Thomas P

sounds good , but would this have a different affect then to run it orginal ? i mean, the motors rotation do affect the car now, but not much, i know how to run it but ya have to keep on eye on it.

the car in some jumps or takeoffs when some trottle is still on would like to rotate some rotate direction is on the "Motor side", if i turn the motor rotation the other way wouldnt the rotation in the chassi be little less? just a tought?

WFO7640

It would be my guess that the rotational thing you're experiencing, leaning to the motor side in the air, is more of a result of the car not being perfectly weighted side-to-side. The heavier motor side is what is causing the rotation to that side.
While a car is in the air the axle rotation has a greater influence, since they're spinning wheels, that a driveshaft would in making a car want to spin or corkscrew through the air. At least that's the physics as I understand it.

Thomas P

sounds good to me, but as the car want, not always at all, but sometimes, i "think" it´s when i have some trottle on the car wants to spin . and a heavier motorside, that is almost 50/50...not 100% but close.if the directional on the motor will be changed and diff flipped, wouldnt that get less,since the or tranny rotating @the other way ? should i test?

WFO7640

I see no real benefit in doing so, unless it's to change the weighting of the car. I still think you'd end up chasing your tail doing so.

Recived a copy of the speedpassion (that il recive tommorow) i mounted the replica in my 2wd car... just over 500gr rtr with body






talk about difference in weight and size vs Novak

And we haven't seen a video of this little 2wd wonder car in action yet BECAUSE!?! The vid of the 4wd is killer!

Thomas P

Sorry boys, have not the time, until Friday..and then the 24/1-09..so we´l see tomorow if this little car can stick to film ...will be intresting to test the new Hobbywing system (speedpassion)
