The Team Magic E4D RWD Project

The Team Magic E4d RWD Project

Purpose : To Convert E4D 6.5T from All Wheel Drive to Rear Wheel Drive and try to maintain easy AWD conversion

Status : On going

RC Enthusiast Level : Noob :p

Why :

After 2 months of tinkering with this chassis I found many problems with this. A design flaw which I find rather odd and no one has ever mentioned it.After reading there weren't many comments about this.

Also not many people stock on Team Magic parts here. I went to the local distributor here in Malaysia but some parts are still limited.

1) Steering

At a stock level out of the box, The steering is loose. It has central steering arm which controls both wheels. Whenever you turn too much, the arm will "pop up". This causes some instability in the controls.

The other problem with the steering is that it sit on top of the top chassis. This tends to flex causing the steering to be in accurate.

2) Chassis

I noticed that the front wheels will touch the chassis during a full turn. I had to make sure my ride height was above a certain level so the wheels would not hit the chassis while turning. There goes the lowering of the front. :(

3) Foam Bumber

Same Problem as above. Wheels keep hitting the bumper.

+ Points

Balance
1) The car seems almost balanced right in the center, This is great in my opinion for a AWD car. The car seem to slide better on all four wheels.

Fun to drive

As an all wheel drive, the e4d is a really fun drive. It is easy to control and you can take really fast drifts.

With Foam tires this cars goes 70 KM/H on stock motor. Weeeeeeee
