Hi there everyone, i'm new to this forum, and i can say new to rc world too...
I'm planing to build 1/5 scale on road touring car / evo...
I have some design skills and the possibility to create my own parts... So i'm looking to build my own chassis / axle design.
The first problem i face is the actual dimensions of the car. I tried on google but without luck... I couldn't find anything...
First i need to build the cassis and i don't have any dimensions, like min width max width and length ...
Second i need to know the width of the front and back axle. Diameter and width of the wheels...
Does anyone have this dimensions? Or where i can find such informations?

Thank you very much!
Justin
 
Justin, just check out Hobbythek FG chassis and body parts.

We would all love somebody to take over from where they're leaving off.

At least FG are ~scale and not something stupid like the Losi 1/5 Mini.

Typically 1/5 on roads have 465 and 535 mm chassis (most popular - 'short' and 'long' wheelbase), 400 mm wide, with bodies ranging from about 800 mm up to nearly 1000 mm

PS Welcome to the forum.

Thanks again Al,
I wasn't sure about this website, this is why i asked. I've seen a few manuals for evo and f1 chassis but i couldn't figure out any measurements...
I do have 2 old f1 cars 840mm long arround here and i think they are 1\5 scale... one wheel is 112mm in diameter and 68mm wide, but again this doesn't help me much for an evo chassis, which i want to start with...
i've seen a few cad pictures with an evo08, but they are only print screens, again not too much help.
do you have any idea what is the distance between the interior of the wheel and hex mount of the wheel?

the dia of touring car wheels these are the new grp's is 118mm dia there 65mm wide and the measurement to square from back of wheel is @40mm touring cars are @395-400mm wide

the f1 you mention is a 1/6th scale got me one here as well but unlucky for me not mine,, I do have a fg 535mm lwb which im happy to help you with any info you need let me know what you need and I will get the tape out

Hey Justin...

If your planning on it being1/5th scale and wanting to race against other 'like' cars.
Your best bet to get these dimensions would be the ROAR rule book. Download the PDF file of the rules. Then look through to find your relevant rules concerning wheel, tire, car dimensions etc.

By the way and just as an fyi. I too like to build and/ or modify cars by producing my own parts. Both in metal, be it Aluminum, titanium or whatever or I mold carbon or glass fibre parts too.

Good luck in your venture/ project.

Again thank you for sharing those info's!
I will attach some pictures with the exact dimensions i need, and hope you guys can help me out :)
What is the diameter of the "uniball" placed in the front and back lower arm?

Thanks again!
Justin

Mid chassis cross section at the widest part. One pic far away to show where I'm measuring, and one pic close to show the measurement in inches. 6 5/16in
