Speed Challenge Car

[joeling]

Well, my LHS is orgainishing a speed challenge session somtime next month. It's a drag race style challenge between 2 cars. Loser will get eliminated. Details like the length of the track, where the drivers going to stand are not very clear. What is known is that there are no restriction to the type of vehicles that one can bring to the competition. Well, it has to have wheels & use the wheels to move around.

I have new old stock 1/8 buggy chassis lying around that I think I can convert into a GT style onroad vehicle for this speed challenge. Most of the guys will be using 1/18 scale sedans & there's even a 1/18 scale offroad truggy in the mix. I think there are some who will bring their 10th scale electric sedan to the event as well.

I have bought this shell for use on my buggy :



These Losi tires will be used on the GTfied buggy :



I have also purchased various GT parts for Kyosho to use on my NOS buggy. I am asking Mike to sell me a Lightning Stadium mount & a Kyosho mount to fit one of them into the buggy. This will be a one speed buggy. I am targeting to use a 6S lipo with 25/46 gearing & possibly a Medusa 70mm 1600KV motor. With this setup, theoretical top speed is around 82mph (132km/h). Hope this will be ok to beat the competition.

Wish me luck !
