Mercedes Track Car v2

[merc3des]

Well okay this project has had 3 different threads now due to different directions, bodies, etc. I know its annoying BUT this is the final body, and some of you may recall it from my first track car

Some of you may remember the wheelbase was always too long, I'm kinda going in the middle with this. I got the wheelbase as short as it can go, and that means I'm going to had the mod the wheel wells. So far I got the wheelbase scale to about 1/26th scale, which is odd in itself. But thats as short as I can go. Getting this wheelbase to this short required a lot of ghetto modding.

The suspension is working fine, the wheelbase is even, ride height is same on front 2 and back 2, just have to mod the body.

I regret selling the first track car so much.

The Original Mercedes Track Car:





It is a Mini-Z, Micro-T, Generation 1 Mix.

Here is the specs:
Generation 1 Carbon Fiber chassis, that I made myself
Micro-T Board
PN racing Mini-z Rear Pod
2S Lithium Ion Square Kit (Made myself)
Carbon Fiber upper deck
Ceramic Bearings
Disk Damper system (mounted myself)
Tires
New painted rims
Upgraded differential

The wheelbase used to be 115mm, which is huge.

Before Wheelbase shortening:



After wheelbase shortening:



Here is some chassis pics, and an idea of how much modding I have to do to the body.







You can really see the gap here (the front of the chassis is so narrow and forward):


And the electronics:
