Another project im working on. Direct drive short wheel base tyco, Thinking a shortened VW buss will look good on this. The lead weight has to be mounted someway cause this chassis has no mags. Also in the background is the "Kliene rote wagen"( thanks bill) painted a silver peal as a base coat

O.K. this is a Super Duper great idea you have here! Wait till VJ sees this one...he is gonna love it!

Bob...YEAH BABY...zilla

Short wheelbase, direct drive motor, no traction magnets.
It's gonna be real fast and after the crash it will be Crackenstein.

I want one too! http://i34.tinypic.com/34dflh2.jpg

Cool! What holds the chassis front stub to the motor?

You could save yourself some time and effort by using the armatures off the steering type tyco command control slotless cars. They have pinion shafts on the front and rear of the arm. Tyco TCRs, Aurora SpeedSteers and a few other slotless cars would have this too.

with one of those arms you would have to cut the shaft, with a regular arm all you have to do is push the shaft through some an its the right size

Tycosteins's body was painted up a nice pearl blue, yes it is a shortened vw camper

Great looking project! Short track'n shortened bus!
The only thing you don't seem to be short on is fresh ideas! :thumbsup: Sweet!

When you posted the VW bus pick up you said you were looking for other pictures of the drag pick up... Being the dingdong that i am, I naturally started scoping out pic's. I saw them shorty wheelbase busses ans was going to slap a pic down on the pick up post but you beat me to it!! The munchkin looks cool as heck, and i hope it make it through the first turn!! No magnets, direct drive....better wear a helmet!!!

TY guys, Well after a quick test run, the tabs had to be removed from the rear bulkhead to get the motor lower so the wheels would get grip.
Let me tell ya a short chassis with no mags is one squirlly SOB an that was on just 12 volts(door track oval on a pc p/s) gonna have to take it down to the big track on 18 volts an see how she runs next http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/GoodwrenchIntimidator3/woot.gif
