Hey now the TT has a mamba in it too...

Nice work there! The suspension is looking really good. Appears to have minimal camber change or bumpsteer from the pics.

How much caster will you be running? keep up the awesome work!

L-TOWN CUSTOMS · 02-09-2007, 04:06 PM

sniper · 02-09-2007, 07:15 PM

Rear suspesion is mocked up but again still need shock mounting holes

joecrawler · 02-09-2007, 07:36 PM

L-TOWN CUSTOMS · 02-09-2007, 08:42 PM

lookin good are u just gonna use plate for body or lexan ?

sniper · 02-10-2007, 05:45 PM

well she's on her own feet now still need quite a bit of tweaking on the setup also need a new front shock tower thats a little bit taller. the body is also .016 aluminum. cambe and caster are close but i'll have to shim the upper arms to change it , bumpsteer is minimal until it gets to full droop.

L-TOWN CUSTOMS · 02-10-2007, 05:49 PM

looks like ur gettin alot of rear travel

sniper · 02-10-2007, 05:51 PM

it gets about 4.5 in. now it could get up to 6 but i dont think drivshaft angle will work like that the front will get about 3 to 3.5 in

L-TOWN CUSTOMS · 02-10-2007, 05:58 PM

like this

blue=body
red=shock tower
black=mounting points

sniper · 02-10-2007, 06:05 PM

like this i will have to bumpsin the hood to clear them

L-TOWN CUSTOMS · 02-10-2007, 10:19 PM

oooooo could u just get like a metal marbel and hit it with a hammer to make that dent ?

chino63 · 02-10-2007, 11:44 PM

Great job on the progress! Heres an idea for the front shocks, instead of making the taller mount, how about making a hole in your lower control arm with a cross bolt through the arm to hold the shock in place. This will eliminate the lower bracket and bring everything down to help with the C.G.

dotson · 02-11-2007, 09:37 AM

i have the same degan body i got the red one . using it for my tlt build. are you hooking the lights up ? if you are let me know how you get them to work i dont really know how to make them work .

sniper · 02-11-2007, 10:55 AM

i am planning on hooking the lights up but i might buy some LEDs and just use the housings . Chino thanks for the ideas on the froont susp. still working on that . I drove it around today and broke one of the front lower ball joints :-( . I think i'll try some aluminum ones from rc4wd . Has any one used them ? I guess there pretty strong. They look good.

XxPr3miumRid3rxX · 02-11-2007, 11:14 AM

personally I think that the BFG's look to small on there, but i guess it depends on what you do as far as the body goes.
