Keep the dust out

Outside:

But I added some mudflaps.

So I tested it in the road outside my house its filled with construction dust,

And it works :grin: If you notice, the front of the body is still clean and the back is filled with mud (no flaps behind there)

Image

So now we can go rallying on very flat hard-packed dirt (at least)

Some one please make a lift kit for these.

I hope this benifits people.

Before I forget,

Make sure the top of the mudflaps dont rub the wheels. And fold it like an L so that there is piece infront of the batterypacks. This is to stop the dust from moving at an angle into the body section. Make sure the top of the flap is as wide as the wheel to ensure efficiency. You may have to trim a little to allow bady to fit.

Adjustable ride height

To raise the ride height, one can do no less than change the chassis. Here is my idea:

Image

The same can be done to the back, but, it can only be done by remaking the rear end. EDIT:actually Its a little different, Ill draw that one later. NB, the ride height cannot exceed 4mm raise.

Now if anyone of you chassis makers can run a field test on my idea....................

do you really want to bother with a lift kit, the easies thing would be to get some nobbie tires from a dirt car, and raise the body to accomidate the size, or go with larger rims and tires, and shave some material of the chassis to accomidate the size
