Yodog, do you have bulkheads and rearaxle + hubs available yet? Or do you have/make custom ones? Especially the diff is interesting. Are planning on using 48pt? Also using the quick release system is an option maybe? Love to see some updates if you have em. Hope your design will succeed.
Pretty much everything is custom made except for some CRC stuff.
It figures that I already redesigned some of the car already.

Well I wanted to wait till the car was done before posting these pictures but here is where it is now. Still need to mount the rear dampers and finish the front end.

Those rear tires look pretty big compared to the 540 size motor :-)
Very curious to know how it handles when its finished, and how much it weighs ready to race.
Keep us updated. Very nice project!!

I think a 550 set up would work in this!

I was talking with alphacat the other day "He knows everybody". As a thought we went back to the old RC250 1/8 Club chassis which we are sure they still have the drawings for it and the RC500. Made us think of using it with One Lipo and later on bring back the RC 500 with 2 lipo's for the fast guys. low costand lots o fun. just a thought.

YoDog, this is going to be a real fun car to drive.

Has anyone given any thought to using a two speed to increase run time? Clearly some of the 1/8th scale manufacturers have something in the way of transmission or spur gear setups, requiring only a change to the pinion design, or a one way bearing adapter for an existing nitro setup. Thoughts?

It just makes things more complicated. The same thing can be achieved with dynamic timing.
