That's one clean and tidy chassis design. Any chance of putting it into production? I might be interested in one with a matching skid

Looks great, you will be using bent uppers to clear the shocks how about the bottom? Will the delrin slide easy enough that bent lowers wont help to much?

Why don't you run your upper links on the inside of the chassis

Because the upper links wont be perfectly straight.

If I move them inside the chassis they will be .053 ^ off on the on the axle side. and if I move the links on the link plate in to the very inside holes they will be off .161 V chassis side.


and its not very hard to make bent links

You lost me...What are you talking about??
I always run all my links on the inside of the chassis....much better (imo).
I've never understood why anyone would run the uppers (or lowers) on the outside of the chassis.?...
Can you please explain Thanks

Btw your chassis is absolutely beautiful, nice work as usual

It has to do with keeping the upper links parralel when viewed from the top, which affects the way the axle cycles....different strokes for different folks
