Team Kassanova K2 Buggy
Since of a good friend (ZeroHax369) I have been able to start acouple more projects. The first project is a B4 inspired 2wd buggy.There has been the x-6 and many other people have converted the B4 into a mid motor buggy but I want to do something alittle different. So Its going to use b4 suspension. But it will have tc3 style mid motor , with a tc3 differential, and laydown shocks in the front and rear. This buggy will be like no other buggy you have ever seen. The following parts will be custom cut either on a cnc or by hand.
-Lower Chassis
-Top Deck
-Rocker mounts
-Motor mount
-Chamber mounts
-Rear chassis plate
-Front Chassis plate
When designing this buggy I decided to go with the Tc3 type mounted motor because if I where to just flip the b4 tranny I wouldn't be doing anything different and I would have would have had to use either a 4x2 battery set up ,which I don't want to use becuase I can't use lipo in it. Or I would have had to go with a saddle formation but I wouldn't have been able to get the batteries very far back on the chassis. Also the B4 trans would have made it very hard to incorparate a laydown shock set-up. I decided to go with the laydown shocks becuase they lower the CG,make the suspension progressive,and in my opinion is more durable becuase you don't have to worry about shock towers or bending shock shafts. I also love doing things thats are innovative and different , that are a challenge. Here are a few pics dimenstrating the layout.

Very nice !
I wouldn't worry about torque steer. It is only (slightly) revelant with tiny, light TC tires, and most drivers incl. me won't notice it anyway.

Gayoska: Thanks I will keep that in mind
Mikexray: From what I have read The term torque steer only applies to front and 4wd cars. If there is an effect that will cause a rear wheel drive to wander I'm thinking it might have a different term.
I also looked through the ROAR rulebook and the only limitations on the trans in a 2wd is that it is one speed. It didn't say anything about haveing to have 3 gears.
I don't mean to sound rude about this just its what I have researched.

Maybe not torque steer but your still dealing with rotational forces from the motor itself. The way you have in configured, the forces would be going off to the side of the chassis. I would think idealy that you would what the rotational forces to go toward the rear of the car to aid in traction like in current production 2wd buggys. BTW, the current X-6 kits includes a new four gear tranny case to flip the motor in the correct postion in order to send motor rotational forces rearward instead of foward.

In relation to the transmisions in electric off road it is written to read
"8.10.1.4 Transmission: Single speed transmissions only" It does not say anything about how many gears it must or must not have.

I know another guy that has tried this set-up and he doesn't seem to have too bad of a problem with it. To help it though I am going to put the motor on the other side so that it is rotating towards the middle of the chassis. We will just have too see.It never hurts to experiment and try something new/different.
