Bandit diemensions needed

Hi all,

recently booted up the 3dprinted and made a partially 3dprinted rc car, the front arms were single piece swingarm much like a bandit

for giggles i put the bandit body on top of it and an itch to create a open modern drop in chassis replacement was born.

 

i'll upload some pic's later, but does anyone know the wheel dimensions (width,height) external track front and rear, wheelbase?

Apologies for delay. Wheelbase is 18cm and Wheel Track is 14cm

 

Thanks! i guessed the wheelbase from the body, and got 19cm, my track is 19 in the front and once i print the rear wheels probably about 22 in the back!

seeing it semi put together here, my tyres are huge!

Dude, that is so cool! I love it! I was in such a rush to reply to lots of forum posts last time, I didn't notice your photos. That is kick ass. I do a fair bit of 3D printing, but never a project like that. Is it some kind of Tamiya gearbox/motor combo at the back?

As far as i know, no, it's a bymco magazine special (you know the type where you buy a piece each month with a magazine) however i was looking at mfactory33 3dp RC car, and they are using wheel axles just like mine, and they list them as tamiya, so maybe mine's a knock off tamiya?

either way i don't think it'll last with those large diameter wheels and i plan to develop my own gearbox/transmission. when i blow this one up.

have made the body fit better since last pic, have to design a battery holder soon and test.
