With the belts out of the way, the designers got to work tweaking weight distribution so both sides of the car were equal. Top speed can be easily found, lightning quick corner speed cannot.Ĭentralized Componentry For Perfect Side To Side Balance: The placement and size of the teeth on the belts were designed to be a perfect balance between durability and low friction.Īll in all, the advantages of the three belt transmission system outweighed the minimal increase in transmission friction. The whole system is set in motion by super low friction belts. The rear of the car features a fully adjustable ball differential.
In addition to this, the pulleys and center mount are also machine from the same high quality aluminum for improved pulley and belt durability. This allows the driver to customize the transmission to suit individual track requirements. Remove two pins and the diff turns into a one-way. With the pins inserted the differential acts like a spool. Team Magic has also included a beautifully machine aluminum front dual action one-way/spool differential. The E4 is exactly the opposite which meant no compromises! This layout restricts the design of the car greatly and forces the manufacturer to compromise in componentry layout. In a classic two belt transmission system, the front belt is centered down the chassis. It was chosen because of its advantages in motor, battery and radio gear placement. Unique Super Low Friction 3 Belt Transmission:Īnother unique design feature of the E4 is the introduction of a 3 belt transmission. With testing complete, it’s time for Team Magic to introduce the latest step forward in electric touring car technology the Team Magic E4. Eleven months on, and Team Magic have quietly continued to develop and enhance the new car until it has reached its current state. From its unique styling to its complex nature, every part of the car was totally unique and offered an insight into where touring car chassis design was heading. As an early prototype, it immediately captured the attention of the R/C world.
Back in October 2006, pictures of Team Magic’s up and coming on-road electric touring car were beamed around the world via the internet.
