|  New Chassis for the Cherokee (many pictures!) Hi, I have worked on a new more scale - but also not less captable - chassis for my XJ the last weeks. I started from zero with this new chassis, and would like to show you some pics here. The unique chassis design is made to fit some later coming parts like inner fenders, outer floor panels, Rocksliders and a gas tank dummy. The frame:  Narrowed front  Sideview  Radio plate and other parts  Ultra compact full metal 3-speed transmission  with servo shiftable 2WD and 4WD mode  HolmesHobbies 30turn TorqueMaster  All together with a 3:1 gear reduction unit mounted to the chassis  Custom made scale delrin leaf spring packs  Mounted to a modified Mini-T-Rex rear Axle  Modified T-Rex front axle with coil springs  Customized TLT shocks  Custom Made BaMaTech Driveshafts with hardened steel joints - the best shafts I know  Rolling Chassis  Rear view  With mounted radio plate  Loaded with electronic  Transmission shifting servo  2WD-4WD shifting servo  Test body mounted  Front view  Rear view  I still have to make some adjustments to the leafs and the body heigth at the rear. First test drives were very successful. Overall gear recduction is same low as my older chassis, but in 3rd gear she has also more wheelspeed as the old one. Enough to drive better through muddy areas and to have a bit fun with a sliding rear at 2WD mode. Also many thanks to Alexander from RC-Laserparts.de. He helped me at every step to realize that chassis. Thanks Stefan Last edited by scaleoffroad; 04-13-2009 at 11:53 AM. |

| Real or Memorex WOW  Place that in a realistic, outdoor backdrop, and it would be difficult to say it isn't real. Really nice work on the frame! What 3spd is that? Or is it yours (based on all your other machining skills)? |

| Undeniably beautiful. Although IMO Dana 60 replicas at stock width look a little funny under a XJ... |

| I thought it was pretty sweet before, but you've really stepped it up! You wanna trade for a kidney or something?  |

| Is there anything that you do that isn't a work of art? I think this has to be my all time favorite scale rig. A true mixture of style and function. Btw, I love the leaf spring packs, that's totally freaking sweet! I totally enjoy seeing any and all of your builds. Keep up the awesome work! |
