this Audi Sport Quattro S1... not sure how it will hold up to rallycross conditions, but could be good for an option.
Plenty of chassis' that could be used here.... Tamiya with TA01/2, M03 rally-converted or M05RA, DF03-RA, there's plenty of options. Outside Tamiya, there's models like the Schumacher SST Rally, Kyosho Alpha, HPI RS4 Rally, Losi Rally Weapon, just to name a few - plenty more as mentioned by others.
Best to keep it with the 190 - 200mm jobbies, perhaps.... if you start allowing me to bring my Kyosho Celica, it may push those fragile Tamiyas about....
No worries Alex... By the way YOU MADE ME BUY A BODY LMAO COULDNT RESIST Thanks for the Link!!!
As long as the Rally car you intend to use is 190 -200 EP you're more than welcome mate.. At this stage its more about the interest than the actual models.. we have tested a few some work some dont, thats not to say that the cars that dont are necessarily bad but merely do not suit the rigors of rally.. What everyone will find eventually is that the cars best suited will evolve by evolution itself the fittest will become the standard ...
that will only be seen over time ...As per the brands that is always a personal thing so if people are prepared to chase down parts and perhaps find it harder than other models they will either persevere or change over again that is normal evolution..
Thus far we have had surprisingly little damage with many of the bodies but several of us pre prepare the bods with that trusty heaven sent product called shoo goo and gyprock tape.. again at the moment we have not stated any cap on motor size we will tho at some stage I think settle on the 13T motors.. this would keep the costs down and open to anyone on a tight budget..
If a regular class does eventuate and there are a few of us that will work towards assisting this then the main four goals should apply .. We have seen in some cases nice classes diminished or taken over by elitism due to onerous rules and an over exaggerated competitive sometimes commercially driven elements.. These classes should be for fun and open to all budgets imo...
1. Affordability
2. large range of cars (within)
3. Simple Rules
4. About Fun, cars and mateship..
Good to see you are keen mate .. keep posted.. Had a look at the Shooey looks good.. Can you get tubs for these...?
