Well, here's progress so far. Nothing real out of the ordinary as I'm still waiting on either rockworks/microgoat's body or my Landy, er I mean Bushwhacker body to come in.

Stats:
k2-3l chassis - I really like how light this chassis is. This was one of the blems he had for sale. Once I sanded it down a bit, you can't tell at all.
stampede tranny
revolver v1
mamba maxx
run2jeepn's 60mm shocks
spektrum tx
metal yokes

the tires and wheels are just for mock up. I have yet to decide on what I will be running. Maybe some more geolanders or I might hit up insanerc for something narrowed

On to the pics:
First and foremost, spent most of the day cleaning off my worktable. No before pics, but trust me, this is immaculate compared to what it was before.

4-link setup

View of the steering

Shocks mounted up to the middle. Seems to work well, nice and smooth. Off-the-axle, top down steering.

Electronics strapped in on the plate in the back. I still have to decide where the batteries will end up.

Rear shocks and lockouts. They don't rub against that plate at all. Also smooth travel from them for being such tiny shocks.

The build is looking good so far. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

I love that everyone that builds these chassis builds them a little different. Great build so far.

dieselfuel · 12-28-2006, 07:37 PM

wow im so used to seeing my 3L with the narrowed dirt hawgs, thats looks weird with moabs on it. i hope you have better luck with those shock than i did. mine leaked everywhere before i ever even ran the truck.

Nice!!!!

I like the chassis mounted servo and the upper shock mount position.

:-)

how easy was it to setup and did it take very long

Very easy and didn't take much time at all. Especially since it takes drilling through delrin, the servo mount is really quick and simple to do.

Nice setup on the shocks, i might give it a try on my 3s, your build looks great BTW

I agree with the others on that servo set up, very sweet. Nice rig you have there.

Nice job so far Cloak & Dagger. Remember that movie?

With the angle of the steering link, you'll likely get a ton of bump steer.

I've limited the front suspension quite a bit, so I'm not seeing nearly as much as you'd think. I learned from my bb-51
