On another note... I've never been a fan of kings just from feeling a set that I got used awhile back. I decided to try them again because I had to have the look. I decided to try and get some dampening. I sanded down the pistons a little bit so I could fit a shim between the piston and e-clip to cover part of the holes. Seems much better than stock. I was gonna takes some pics but got side tracked.

anyways here's a pic.

Also my crazy Panhard bar... That's gonna be fun to try to get someone to make in Ti.

I figured the farther forward the mount was the better it would be. I'll move it back when I put it back in.

The reason for it being moved back is so the spur gear screws dont hit the servo mount (might not be an issue with out the stock slipper clutch). If I ever get caught up enough to put my cms into production, there will be a provision to run your upper link on the drivers side, thus allowing you to turn the motor mount around and run the motor on the passenger side. Torque twist is really not noticeable anymore with the setup you've got, but why not help it even more!

Oh I see. I didn't have any clearance issues with it moved forward. I'll probably move it back then.

What length kings are those? Really digging the way those axles look with the red diff cover!

90mm. Thanks. I saw you picked up this chassis. You'll love it.

fr8cture · 10-16-2015, 11:24 AM

I moved the motor mount forward again. Here is how much room there is. This is a locked slipper. Pretty sure it was made by locked up rc got it with a rig I bought a while back.

Thanks! Yes I did! I'm excited to start building it. I've been following your build closely. I'll start a build thread when my parts start to show up

zion23 · 10-17-2015, 03:59 AM

Lots of Sik parts wheels are purdy!!!

Stormin2u · 10-17-2015, 05:22 AM

Hey fr8cture, what are you planning to use for body posts?

BoilerUp · 10-17-2015, 06:58 AM

I just bought a Toyzuki chassis because of this thread! Thanks Fr8cture!!! I'm liking everything so far. I'll be following along.

Bananaclip · 10-17-2015, 07:07 AM

Fra8cture, Your build Is truly an eye opener for Zuki's products. I have always been a fan of his motor mount but the chassis is WOW. You have done a stand up job at putting this beast together. So much I am going to order one for my Daughters fully loaded 1.9 rig. Keep us updated and Mr Zuki, be looking for a pm shortly.

Stormin2u · 10-17-2015, 08:08 AM

I have to agree, I had no idea about the chassis or transfer case, good job fr8cture.

But I'm not really feeling the Panard bar all that much.

Bananaclip · 10-17-2015, 10:04 AM

I believe the angles of the panhard bar are absolutely necessary when using the outside frame mount and low slung chassis. Looks like the only option to get full cycle of the front end.

fr8cture · 10-17-2015, 10:05 AM

Yes it's necessary but with the bumper I have coming probably won't be visible.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing for body mounting yet. I have a few ideas but we will see.

ToyZuki · 10-17-2015, 05:54 PM

Scx10 or xr10 body mounts work perfectly. Just run screws through the shock mount holes and thread them into a body post. Use an upper and a lower hole to keep em in place.

fr8cture · 10-17-2015, 05:57 PM

I'm not poking holes in the body.

I just read my post and didn't mean any disrespect by saying that I would be purchasing this frame combo for my daughters rig. Her rig is built very well. I was thinking more like, dad would have an optional comp rig for ECSC

I didn't take it that way. All support is good.
