Re: CORVETTE RACING
I believe in keeping it scale. So with that in mind a 300" wheelbase at 1:14 scale would be about a 21.5" wheelbase. That is measuring from the center of the front axle to the center of the first...

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Craig,
I will be watching your build with renewed interest. It looks as though you are building anything but a toy with that drive-train. I may have to "borrow" a few of your ideas for one of...

I have trucks with and without the coupler. They seem to work the same other than the pulling torque and slow movement abilities. No difference in battery draw that I have ever noticed. I did...
