Here is a picture of the new Viper chassis that I have built up as a G-Jet clone with brass weights. Besides the chassis all of the parts are BSRT G3. The rolling chassis weighs 16.7 grams compared to a G-Jet with aluminum body posts and the same weights that weighs 16.6 grams. A Wizzard Thunderstorm rolling chassis weighs 18.2 grams. Hopefully I will have time to take the car for a spin tomorrow.

Hi
i can see you are a serious racer!!!

I ran some laps with the new Viper chassis today. I compared it to my backup NEC G-Jet, which has won races. I ran both cars without a body. The G-Jet did 4.162 seconds on my MaxTrax and the Viper did 4.319, not bad for a start. The Viper was a little loose compared to the G-Jet, which was really stuck down. Both cars had about the same top speed on my 12 foot front straight. The Viper has Viper Scale Racing Pro 4 magnets, I will have to check those with my magnetometer. I do have a spare set of the ceramic grade G-Jet magnets and also a set of VSR Pro 10 magnets.
Eventually I will compare the cars with bodies on them.

Hi
did you do more test your new chassis?
wich one is the best BSRT G3 or Viper?
thanks
Sylvain

Great looking chassis!

Not sure how I missed this originally - but that is a sweet looking chassis!
Our local track just started up a Wizzard Thunderstorm class a couple weeks ago and I have to say they are a LOT of fun to run!
:D

I have been busy preparing for a race this weekend. I wanted to check the magnets in the Viper before I did any more tuning and I also want to get a body on the car so I can take it to the race. I did check the magnets this morning, they are not quite as strong as the ones in the G-Jet, but they are only down by 5%. I will have to measure the spare G-Jet magnets that I have.

Here is the Viper chassis with a HOCOC NSC type body. I shortened the body posts a little.

Hi
it's looks really nice,

Looks sharp and fast just sitting still! :)
These non-mag cars are a LOT of fun!

Rich your Nascar looks way cool, But looks way to fast for my track.
Plus thanks for the shot of the under car. Love the body mounts

The car ran well when I tried it on a slider oval today, but I was was not allowed to enter it in a race as yet. The consensus was that the Viper would be legal once it becomes available either as an RTR rolling chassis or as a kit with standardized parts.

Hi
what kind of gear and pinion are you using? how many ohms is your arm(motor)??
i know Tomy S g plus are 7 - 25
i wish to change this combo, where i go racing , i do have some kind of long strait( about 10 foot), i was thinking of
7 - 22 or 23 tooth gear...
thanks
Sylvain

Since my car is a G-Jet clone it is not set up like a car with traction magnets would be. Mine has a 9 ohm armature and is geared 7/21. We run G-Jets at 12 volts.
