|  Delrin Chassis - First attempt
McMasterCarr order. Good stuff and quick shipping. That said, I think this turned out ok. Next one will be 3/16th aluminum because this Delrin is too flexible. Forgive the janky rear body mount. Its temporary. Planning on a drop bed in the near future. Trying CMS too. Bumpsteer is pretty minimal considering its still a four link.     This setup gets about 3.75" of flex. If the weather clears (yea right) I'll test it out on the rocks. -B Last edited by 808DA6; 11-06-2011 at 04:35 AM. |

Tested. CMS did perfect, but I still need to test it out with wider tires. The chassis gives this rig slightly lower COG then my previous. I was VERY surprised at how well these short tires did. Off course, it got hung up and high centered on just about everything, but that just means I need to drive better and pick better lines. Think I'll leave this config as is. FUN rig. (sorry for the crappy pics. photos are such an afterthought sometime.)   -B |
