Thanks, That's the kind of input I think will help get something going. Things are starting to come together and I'm finding some possible parts that will really help.
If this works out well, I can see TWO classes. Really cheap (I hope!) Vintage pan cars with direct drive (using modern tires and hopefully with a diff
) AND the CLASSIC Moto type.
We have some information that Moto will comeback and also that many parts are available. Joe has the biggest issue because he needs a diff but there are a number of ways in the works to keep him running. If anyone needs parts to run I suggest you post on here and I'm sure we can try to come up with a solution!
I'm gonna concentrate on a prototype Vintage/Basic Pan car and see what I can come up with on getting drawings made and looking for someone to help source parts. Most of the parts will be so simple that CNC machines won't be needed.
Here's my goal:
1/8th scale Gas powered RC Car
Simple chassis with few parts-minimal adjustments
Uses modern wheel/tire combinations
Spur gear will be small enough to not require "large" rear tires (~5.5:1 ratio)
Ball diff
Disk brake
