Sami build

[utieh]

This is my last project, a Sami built based around the Speedway PAL body

That's the really first time I'm messing around with styrene, had some really hard time trying to put everything right.

I still miss the dash board that I will build tonight and all the details (steering wheel, gear knob, seat... I'm looking for a very small one, I guess the Mobile phone Recaro seats won't fit in there)

I will receive the MRC axles and tranny also this week, I might need a second tranny, I won't have enough space under the floor to put everything, so I will make a transfer case out of a MRC tranny if it's not still too big

I'm also waiting for the Tundra shorter leaf springs.

As soon as I receive everything I will start drawing the chassis frame (painted carbon fibre or aluminium if I find someone to cut it for me... anyone ?)

I still don't know how I will manage to fit everything under this body, especially the battery, I think a very small Lipo hidden inside a dummy reservoir would fit in the rear.

Thanks for looking

Looks good so far. What semi did you pull the shocks from? What are their measurements?
