If I wanted to build one - other than not being able to race it in any recognized class - would it work? Could I just buy a touring car and take out the front wheel drive train?
Thoughts?
The 2WD 1/10 nitro class in the 90s was possibly the most fun I have ever had in RC car racing. The cars were fast, nice to drive and easy to maintain. We used sedan, GT1 and GroupC/Can Am bodies on them in various series. But, the cars were wide (not very scale) and had large foam rear tyres. The rear tyres were normally quite a lot softer than the fronts as well.
So if you get a cheap touring car to experiment with, try a set of foam 1/10 nitro tyres. 40 shore up front and 32 rears would be a good start.
