New 1/28 scale chassis unveiled at iHobby 2010!
This isn't from Kyosho. This is from Sun Star, makers of some nice die cast cars.
There was a bit of a communications gap so I'm not 100% sure on all of this.

Looks decent actually. Can you confirm if the wheels are the same as MA-010 wheels?
Also if you have any larger pictures of the car components I'm sure we can ID some of them (servo, motor, etc.). Keep us posted! |
Any idea of when these will be available? I really want to get my hands on one and see what it can do.
It might run well with a 3.7v pack and a high RPM 130 motor... Could be comparable to a 4xAAA mini-z AWD with comparable motor... Double wishbone front and rear looks good :) |
thanks for the info...
how is the scale against the mini-z... i.e. wheelbase, trackwidth... will you be able to put an autoscale on it? |
If its close in size, you should be able to put an ASC on it by the looks of it. You may have to make your own mounting though.

I'll have better pics too :) Hopefully a hi-def movie too. |
So questions I need to ask ;)
1. Availability 2. Are the wheels ma-010 compatible 3. put a mini-z autoscale on it |
very interesting news and look forward to your reporting.

It looks like the same concept/design as my MiX chassis only upside down........... which kind of ticks me off, because I just got the funds to build the prototype for my MiX. Oh well I guess I will see how the sales, durrability, etc fare on this thing, save me a few testing stages... lol.
Hopefully they did not do it exactly how I did it, and my few "experimental" parts to save space will still make mine worth producing. |

I am curious how, or even IF, it can change wheel base lengths?
Due to its design, one part makes it look like it does it the same way the MiX does... yet the other part of the chassis makes that seem like it would be impossible... so it leaves me wondering. I hope it is another GOOD 1:28 scale RC car to promote the hobby, but I also hope it is not TOO good, that it makes my chassis pointless to produce. ;) |

I would also like to see the car run on a RCP track if you have it available. On that video I thought I saw the car go on two wheels:eek: and that's on carpet :D, RCP has more traction. Also we're you guys using rubber tires or foam tires during that run (looks like rubber) I know it comes with a larger motor but can you run the 130 size motor if you want to? can does it have enough space to run 4 rechargeable AAA? Keep up the good work. |

2. Rubber tires but the wheels looks like it could use a wider rear wheelbase. 3. It sure looks like a 130 size motor will fit. I'll have pics up soon that show them next to each other. I'm hopnig to take it apart to see if a standard mini-z after market motor has the same mounting pattern. 4. 4 rechargable AAA doesn't look too good. Unless they have a chassis made for it. Also 4 AAA may require a soldered pack vs the snap in batteries we Mini-z folks are use to. |
