1/8 scale on-road questions
 

So I am looking at building another speed car, and would like to scale up my 1/10 scale car. I have a body style that works great (lola), and can get them for the racing style 1/8 scale cars.

What I am looking for is a list of these types of cars. I know mugen makes one, but who else? Schumacher maybe?

I would just use an 1/8 buggy based 1/8, like the GTP. But they are too wide, and not really sophisticated enough for my liking...

I just saw a Serpent F-180(1/8 F1 4WD Nitro) it looks VERY VERY NICE!!! My friend told me that thing is VERY FAST, but not enough room for ESC and other stuffs cause of the chassis layout.....Well, the F-180 won't work for me, but maybe it'll work for you???

Interesting, but I need something with more std 1/8 wheelbase to fit the bodies I have found...

A speed f1 would be killer, Lutach would drool!

Alright then, how about the Serpent 960

That F1 car looks awsome .

lol...You know that Mr. Baar was going to send me one of those right. Too bad they're not going to be made anymore due to certain changes. That's the one I was going to use 20S A123 with.

Do all of the 1/8 like the serpent use belts? I am guessing that since they are all nitro they will have the belts.

So no f1 for you lutach? Oh well, that sucks.

Mr. Baar didn't exactly say he wouldn't send me one. I told him I'm going to make it electric and he said he might make one electric, but that was before all the changes at Serpent. I'm going to send him an e-mail tomorrow to see what he says.

hey lutach, if Serpent really going to make a Electric F-180(F-1)??? PLEASE LET ME KNOW CAUSE I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GET ONE!!!

I'll let you know tomorrow. If Mr. Baar sends me one, I'm going to design a complete different chassis and I was going to send him one as well.

sound good:yipi:THX BRO:yes:BTW, who's that Mr. Bear???

Serpent has two owners and one of them is Mr. Baar.

man!!! is very nice to know the big guy of the company like you do!!! BTW, could you ask Mr. Bear does he know if the Distributor in Hong Kong is HEC or not...or if there's no Distributor in Hong Kong, ask him if he want sone or not??? cause i'm working on the Distributor Issue right now! THX!

I will ask, but things of that nature should be taken to Serpent directly. Now will be good since they have set up a Serpent Asia office.

THX, MY MAN! I'll try and see if I'm able to get any INFO from them!
