Hi! Im new to this scene, may i know the part name for the front and back? Thankkssss

@claredin 3 ай бұрын

The front is an AT (autotrack) bumper. The rear is a pivot. My pivot is called the Chandeleir Pivot because it hangs downward

@claredin i tried searching them cant find the parts,im gonna assume thats how you call the set up right?

@claredin 3 ай бұрын

@@Unranked. Yes, that's the set up. You have to build it using individual parts that you see in the anchor or pivot. Detailing all the parts would require a master class video.

@claredin hi, again, btw congrats on your last race, i know next time youll win. Anyway for my question, did yoy chop off the front bumper? To fit the AT?

@@Unranked. Yes, I did. I ended up cutting up until just a little bit above where the body catch latch is and then I rounded off the edge to a kind of square oval.

hi! if you don't mind how much it cost that kind of build?

@claredin 3 ай бұрын

it's about $90 worth of plates, $40 for the rollers, $20 for the dampers, $7 for the cowl, $7 for the car catcher, about $15 for the screw sets and locknuts. $25 for the wheels/tires. Add motor and FM-A car kit. As with any open class car, it's more about the time spent than the money spent. It can take hours and hours to build one. Do it slowly, take your time, perfect everything you can, and the result will be good. And accept the fact that a car will not be good on every type of track. We build cars to be strong and stable and then we think about what tracks we want to race on and adjust our creation accordingly.

@@DEEMini4WDPH You'll need to find a way to reinforce your chassis. MS chassis cars typically have the two U shaped carbon pieces on the underside of the chassis to prevent the wheel wells from caving in from the force of a crash. There are carbon pieces for FMA chassis as well. See Aliexpress for ideas.
