Nice! Like that Maxx shaft. You could reverve the whole skid plate, then reverve wire your motor to get the Maxx shaft to the back axle. I know that is where I've broke pede shafts before. Who makes the Pitbull chassis? Very nice work on the dovetailed body.

Thanks for the comments guy's. My RH is at 2.7" right now.Working good for me.Chassis helped me allot getting rid of torque twist and it side hill really well now. The chassis in the pic is made out of 3mm plexi.Was only prototype but its holding up so far!New set i'm getting will be 5mm plexi and 3mm alloy.Just to test and see what works better.I will love delrin but finding it over here is a pain!! I just made it because after market spares and chassis not available in South Africa! Last edited by DonovanP; 06-22-2008 at 12:51 PM. |

You better be careful about saying ANY of your designs are for sale without a Vendor Star. They are very serious about Feeler Threads(threads that are used to gauge intrest). I would edit your post to get rid of any of that kind of talk!! Great looking chassis BTW!! |

Man nice work on the custom fab stuff. Regardless of what it looks like (in relation to other chassis) or whatnot, you put the wrench to it and built it yourself to achieve the goal you were after, and that deserves way more respect than dumping thousands into a ride and assembling it. I haven't gotten into serious custom fab on my RC's yet, just don't have the time, but I fab a lot of my own hot rod and race car parts.

Thanks for the good words guy's! Only thing need to sort out is when I lift the right front it will push the slider all the way back and engage lock/brake.Need to mount the servo on the chassis to sort this out.Anybody els have this problem? |

nice work. It's good to see someone else using the HPI springs on the stock shock bodies. I love the way they flex, although I shortened mine about 6 coils so that I got some 'sag' with the suspension. I have a question about your dig setup. I assume that one side of the driveshaft just floats, or spins with no mechanical attatchment until the outer sleeve engages it and locks into the cross pin? |
