|  Subaru Brat build
There aren't too many Brat builds so here goes. The goods so far.... 1. MRC Tranny & axles 2. MRC ESC, radio and motor 3. Losi threaded shock set 4. Work XSA 26mm wheels w/ 9mm offset. 5. Custom designed frame Modded the front axles from the followng link. Modding stock MRC for increased steering throw  Inatead of the usual beadlock wheels, I went with these 9mm offset wheels from Horizon Hobby. I was unaware of how they would fit on the axle and beneath the body but luckily, 9mm was the right choice. Outside of rim to outside of opposite rim measures 6-7/8"  I drew the chassis on CAD and transfered a print to the chassis rails, which were 1/8" aluminum Flat Bar. I marked the template and cut with basic tools and a dremel.  Frame rails cut, matched and the MRC tranny mounted between with a piece of 1/4" delrin.  |

I'm a bit partial to Brats. Love it so far. Lots of potential. Nice Blingin' wheels.  |

Looks good so far, interested in seeing it threw. What basic tools did you use to cut your chassi? I only have basic house tools but would like to try this some day.. |

Subscribed for sure! I am building something similar. I used Integy 5 spoke wheels and 10mm offset adapters and have the perfect width for the body I am using (2001 newbright dodge ram). I haven't got to the point of setting up my steering or driveshafts yet. I'll be interested to see how you tackle those.  |
