Custom bodies possibilities

[fovea3d]

Here are some test fits from my collection of Epoch bodies and bodies I already adapted to Epoch chassis.

Some will fit the Dnano Murcielago setup perfectly (Epoch spec1 bodies) some other would require narrower tracks and longer/shorter H plate.

Epoch spec 1:




Epoch spec 2:


The old school skyline would require a shorter front body mount


Plastic kits (1/43 scale)





Too bad the Vette is so narrow. I doubt it can be made to fit:

And!

Joking

The rest of my collection (all 1/43 or 1/32 plastic bodies)






Some 1/32 slotcar bodies of compact cars would fit. The green Simca with black hood on the last picture is a 1/32 scalextric that was adapted to the Epoch chassis. It would fit the Dnano chassis with a longer H plate.

Very cool A, and great pics!

WOW! I like that RSX the best with those AVM rims, very cool! I'd stick with that body! How does the Dnano chassis handle with the added weight of the Epoch body? And can you show us pictures of how you mounted the body onto the chassis? I've got a Slot car Mini Cooper S that fit's RM conversion but is too narrow for some of the Dnano's. The Mini Cooper S fit's over the chassis perfectly, but the wheels stick out to wide so I'd need to find the shortest track possible. Track being the wheelbase from left side to right side.

Well the white RSX will stay untouched for some reason, David aka tinyrc knows why I will keep it in the Epoch form, just posted the pic for info.

The handling is really good with the added weight, feels steady, but most of all, indestructible. I ran it in a mini-z heat last friday. Was intending a comparison but the Dnano finished 3rd out ouf 8 Mini-z, how about that?

For the mounts check the "Supra adaptation" thread, it has pictures.

I am sure with future bodies like the Lancia Delta we will have the conversion parts to very narrow tracks.

I was also wondering about the Delta and I hope it will be narrow enough to accomidate the Mini Cooper. I think it would be pretty cute to have such a tiny little RC Mini Cooper haul butt! You didn't video tape that Dnano being in 3rd did you? that would've been sweet. I wanted to do same test with my Lit but it had the tendancy to flip over alot, so it was really slow around turns, so it would've NOT been a good comparison test.
I'm surprised the Dnano handled the abuse from the bigger cars? Still trying to find out why my Murcielago's stalling. But right now I'm waiting for the DnanoShop to have the white 911 as that'll be my next Dnano car. I'll check out the Supra after dinner, thank's!
