1/10 200mm pan cars

Pitty pan cars are not popular down here in Australia .
I have a nice on road outdoor track near home which has plenty of grip and this would fly around there .
Hopefully once this class takes off it will do the same world wide .
Cheap cars , easy to maintain and set up compared to touring cars.
Here is the BMi car , saddle pack lipos fit no prob ( Maxxamps and SMC ) but the Trackpowers you just have to shim the battery stand offs to make them fit .

The car is designed for saddle pack lipos 7.4v as the handling is improved ,but stick packs fit as well down the centre .
The designer uses lipos so he has made a weighted tray for the saddle packs to bring the car up to the same weight as with NIMH.
Unlike other cars Pan Cars lose handling when they are too light .

He also designed the weight distribution so you put your esc and receiver behind the battery near the motor , short leads and very tidy set up .
Even though there is no class down here i am still buying one of the BMIs .

Only $265 at Stormer .

My bad guys

The only time you need to add shims to the battery stand offs is when you want to run stick packs down the centre and trackpower lipos because they are too tall.

Maxamps , SMC lipo saddles fit without shimming and don't need the weighted tray to fit . The tray is an option for those that want the weight of the car to be identical to a nimh set up.

Well still haven't bought a car but have everything else ready for it to run brushless / lipo .
Just posting the custom LMP Mulsanne 200mm body i got painted for the car . Haven't received the body but the painter sent me these pics of the finished job.
Now to get off my ass and buy a car .
