How I fixed a broken Tamiya WR01 chassis

By ycthk | February 12, 2020 - 1:11 pm |July 16, 2020 Tech Tip - Chassis, Tech Tips
Comments Off on How I fixed a broken Tamiya WR01 chassis

However, the beautiful thing about plastic is that you can drill through it easily. Those long screws and screw plugs that you use for… Continue reading →

Free tech tips – using large bumper

An artificially configured “lower front” can benefit steering but is easier to go “diving” (which can… Continue reading →

Free Tech Tips – ride height and weight

Comments Off on Free Tech Tips – ride height and weight

The more components you load on the chassis, the lower ride height you are going to have. A low ride height tends to give better stability and is generally good for touring cars. For buggies running on bumpy roads, a low ride height may mean frequent chassis breakage.
