Autograss gone rally/ Subaru 360

Postby btaylor » Sun Jun 07, 2015 10:31 am

Started this car as an entry for the Autograss race, but I ended up building a rally/ hill climb car instead! guess I will get another one for that. :oops: Chassis is an Artin 1/43 scale because it will accept a full size can motor, and the wheelbase is adjustable. Added a piranha 21,500 motor, modified the chassis for an MRRC Guide. trued the artin wheels and tires, and built some body mounts. Quick build actually, and not a bad runner given its size. Smaller than a Scaley VW.ImageImage

Thanks Dave,and I was hoping you would say that about the tires! we NEED those!
And Chappy, the little car is a beast with the piranha motor. it is still a bit top heavy, I am playing with more low chassis weight.
It does very well on the oval, but sudden left to right turns tip it over. It is tunable though. It is currently running low 16 second lap times on the Dragon, and that aint to shabby! a stock slot it GT40 will only turn high 15's for example.

Great looking car! The Artin cars I sold are a few of the slots I've regretted selling.
