No good when I have a 190mm wide body, and 262mm wheel base


Although, I might be getting a Mardave to Banger Race

*gets out the geeky glasses*

Mardave themselves dont make the shells.. its Kamtec who do.. i think they have some deal with mardave that allows them to make the shells for them.

On the online shop (kamtec) they do both ABS and lexan shells, with the ABS being the preffered for banger racing as its alot thicker
I've also seen larger scales being made, such as the landrover which i think fits either 1/10th monster trucks or 1/8th.. anywho, its savage or tmaxx sized
They do have limited range, and i have seen capri's

As they are a small-ish company, any suggestions for new shell shapes are welcome, i know my friend at BMBSCC has got one or two moulds made.

Anyway, il stop being a nerd..

Or New Era.. they do custom jobbys too, including massive 1/4 scale dragsters

EBay! I think they came from hong kong in the end but they did sell them in England cause I saw them ages ago and always wanted some. They do look ace!

heres my lotus elise...





went into a curb at around 30 whilst racing a road car lol ooops.

Oooooooo I Love That!!!

Im Assuming You Lost Because You Crashed??

Jack

yeah hadnt set up the brakes properly, going round corner and the back end came out. corected it but over corrected into the curb, snapped the front wishbone clean off.

its back on road now but the gears on drive shaft are plastic and engine is metal so there ruined... clever design....

Like the Scumacher 21 XTR. 70mph Nitro truck with plastic suspension and drive shafts. Mine literally ripped the back end apart. I wouldn't mind but noone ever stocks parts for them either.

On the issue of the availability of Revolution style wheels for RC cars. I'm pretty sure that somewhere at home I have a 2004 CML catalogue which features somewhere in it a car which runs similar wheels, if I remember right though it doesn't give scale or anything but I'm sure the shell resembles the legend racers which you get around today. I have a feeling it's a nitro car so is likely 1/10th or 1/8th. I'll have a look for the catalogue tonight.
