Default k2-3L in progress

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.

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

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

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.

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
