Avantslot - Dakar 07 Truck winner 'Mann"

Post by wixwacing »

The concept of slot trucks and four wheel drive takes a new turn with this Avant Slot Mann truck, winner of the 2007 Lisboa - Dakar. Note the twin engine set up, one driving each end, and the extra reduction at the pinion. This will allow more control on the slower sections!!

Whatever next!!

When I'm not racing slotcars,
I'm out in the back yard, burning food!!

When I win, it's because of my talent, not my car or my controller!

That's a pretty interesting truck with it's motor setup.

I want to try it at Bobs.. Imagine the power surge someone else driving on the same powerbase as you would get when you back off with TWO motors.
