Custom Buggy Thoughts

[joeling]

Gentlemen,

Sorry for being MIA for the last few days. My connection is still pretty slow because of the earthquake in Taiwan.

Anyway, a lot of your ideas are very good. As such, I have revised my drawings & split them into 2 possible versions.

Version 1 is similar to my original drawings with a narrowed chassis. The steering servo has also been relocated to the front. The CG of this option is higher but everything is closer to the centerline of the chassis & the front/rear balance should be pretty good.

Version 2 is showing motor on the front left corner of the chassis but lower to the chassis. The batteries have to be shifted further back. The CG of this version is lower than that of the version 1 at the expense of poorer front / rear weight distribution & components are further away from the centerline. In addition, I have had to extend the chassis by 7mm & the length of the motor is restricted to a max. length of 61mm (Neu 1512 or feigao L cans) only.

What do you think ? Which of the 2 will handle better?

Regards,
Joe Ling
