  damn straight, and now Panda doesn’t need to wait until the weekend and post it somewhere else. But hey, fit that into a mini would be pretty funny apart from suicidal.

  I had a 12 turn in a M-01 Mini, running touring car (55mm) instead of the mini wheels…. It was way too fast for its own good and ended up destroying itself several times over!

  BL has got too much torque for FWD, it’ll go nowhere.
  Would evaporate the front tyres pretty quickly…
  
  But yeah, if Leon hadn’t put his hand up so quick, I’d
  have gone and maybe tried it out in an M03… 😀
  
  Had this wierd idea of making a twin-BL monster (having multiple BLs all on the workbench does crazy things to the mind) but decided it might confuse these motors by working in tandem.
  
  Ahh, safer just to remove the temptation.

  Now looking for a body that fits; Frewer’s Mini Cooper-S is too tight around the flared wheelarches and doesn’t look good if they’re chopped off to clear the wheels.
  
  Maybe one of the old HPI shells might be nice.
  Especially that VW Combi van… :smiley16:

  BL has more torque than anything else, nitro cars especially. I’m told there’s enough torque to rip the hub out of foam-tyre wheels.
  
  Even when geared high, it’ll still launch like a catapult. 4-tyre wheelspin… erm, yes.
  
  warning:- speed is addictive.

  *nods* on the addiction… I couldn’t steer the M-01, I couldn’t slow it (using MSC) and it took about 20m to start getitng grip….
  
  It broke a lot of things…. B/L would be insane compared to that! I used a Parma Dodge Neon shell….

  well, that won’t work well. u don’t need speed in drifting. speed would just make the car understeer(actully the car won’t even turn). normally a 27t or 23t is the best for drifting.

  The Frewer Renault Espace F-1 would be an appropriate choice for a BL mini, RWD converted preferably.

  U can buy Mini chassis in RWD form. I think it’s M04.

  M04 is hard enough to drive with a 540 as is, RWD is too twitchy. Needs stickier tyres on the rear.
  
  An M04 has one tooth more than a M03 (ie higher gearing, slightly) plus all the current M04Ls have full-size touringcar tyres. But on a track, an M03 with mini tyres will outrun the M04 with larger wheels only because the M03 is so much easier to drive.
  
  The willy skunkworks has just hacked up a 4WD mini with 225mm wheelbase. Interesting… 🙂

  Unlike some of the hacks (ouch :p ) that I have seen, “durability” is always a big consideration for the engineering equation.
  
  Engineers shouldn’t design things to break.
  
  hmmm… where’s James K lately?? 🙂
