Audi R8 project

Post by henryf »

Welcome! I've had a couple of different cars and I am now stuck to the plan to build car by myself. I apologize if my story is confused about my language skills are not good :D

I want to build a quarter scale car that is very similar to the 1/1 scale car. I`m planning to build mid engine car whith gearbox and maybe 4wd. I know it`s very hard work and costs lot of money and hours but i least try.

I have some questions.
I`m planning to use twincilinder engine, is it possible use turbocharger because i think that my car is going to be heavy and needs more power?

Is some company produces gearboxes for 1/4 scale cars or some other scale what uses petrol engine?

Wher i can buy tires? Some internet shop?

I hope you see my first pics very soon

No i don`t have a body, i must made it by myself. My friend use fiberglass every day and he can help me with that. Yes i mean supercharged :D. I need advice with gearbox. I think i need not less than 3 speed for good acceleration and top speed. And if we talk about engine then conley is too expensive for me.
