the new track car
Now that I have my house, I'm planning on building a decent sized track to race my micros on....but before I could do that, I needed a worthy whip....
Looks stock other than pullbacks right?
But this is Bitpimps, so I had to come up with sumthin....
Almost ready to go, I just need to add the charging plugs
Might have some time to work on it tonight. I'll shoot a test vid to see if this sucker is speed worthy. Haven't had much time to finish it this week.
Thanks to sat4life27 for the slot car axle idea....

I love your chassis design, but I'm curious how the acceleration is considering its direct drive. Have you calculated the gear ratio?
The shell was from the Super Perfection set I won from last 04's custom blowout contest. I've been busy at work this week, so I haven't had a chance to test it, but I'm sure it won't suffer that annoying lack of steering one way from having the drivetrain on one side. I don't really know much about gear ratios, so I'm sorta trial by error..........which is how I do most of my projects.

re:
from the photo is looks like a 7 tooth pinion mated to a 25 tooth stock Life-Like crown gear...ratio 3.57:1
If anyone is interested in giving this a try let me know, I've got a box full of old Life-Like cars in various states of completion I'd donate to projects.

Re: re:
If that's accurate, that's about like the red KIT racer gear, if I remember correctly. It's a little tall, but with dual cells (and maybe mosfets for torque), it should be just fine for large tracks.canabits wrote:from the photo is looks like a 7 tooth pinion mated to a 25 tooth stock Life-Like crown gear...ratio 3.57:1
