Very Early days ,but I can see some bits I would prefer in Alloy , the first of which would be
the centre diff holders , like always though it will depend on flex and ware and tare over a
period of time ;) ;)

I think also plastic engine carrier needs to be an alloy :)

Which one Erdl .I think the Engine plate to chassis is alloy ,not sure about the Clutch Bell /
engine bracket thing :unsure:
-
Think MCD will have got alloy options in the pipe line already! and Joe will beat them to the production line! and he like us has only seen photos :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
This comes down to the need for an Ultimate version of this buggy, i said it somewhere else that an all alloy version is the way to go... not plastic, even the best plastic flexes too much, including MCD plastic.
The Losi 5 already has a heap of alloy upgrades, and for a good reason... no not just because there's money in it, but because it needed them.... imo this RR5 will be no different, and i hope the upgrades come out quickly.
-
Perhaps an Ultimate version would just be too expensive ,chasing a very small market ,the FT
thing worked out well ,as Did the Jofer upgrades ,I can see MCD doing Alloy arms , but other
upgrades ,who knows ,more likely it will be a Question if it's financially viable for Joe to make
them Volume wise ,and what's needed . :)
Probably the Fastest Car on the Uk Circuits is a Stock V4 FT ,don't think it even has an EC kit,
on it ;)

This part has to be an alloy :)

Got you ,the Clutchbell Housing , other Models :lol: suffered here .
Joe was Quite Impressed with the Initial spec and pics !!!! thinks they have done a good
Job , :D :D :D However I am sure he will buy one ,then we will get some Ideas Going ;) ;)
-
I wonder if Joe has an RR5 yet, he only rings me when the bills overdue :lol:
-
Don't think he does, think he would need two... one for track testing and one for bench fitting/testing. I emailed him last week about doing alloy upgrades, he said most likely not until next year.
-
Not sure the Volume will be there to make it worth while for Joe , I was thinking what parts
will be needed ,well apart from hinge pin Holders which MCD have made ,and are testing ,
(possible before xmas ) you cant make a Radio tray it would be about £3000 in Alloy ,
and to heavy :lol: :lol: , Braces perhaps ?? Arms ,well I am sure that's an Mcd call .
We will have to see ;) ;)
