Cartronicshn gets ShaftD

[cartronicshn]

So i felt that i had achieved everything i could with my stock AX-10 chassis and i started looking for a comp worthy chassis, and just in time run2jeepn had a special sale on the ShaftD
Some pics and specs.

Panther tires
Eritex comp heavies
CPE bent links
JRH 7T puller motor
C.C. Sidewinder
C.C. Bec
max shafts
TP 945 servo
Acoms 4ch rx/tx
DNA dig
4" adjustable alum coil overs(rear)
Traxxas 4" shcoks (front)

Old Rig



New chassis

[cartronicshn]

Front done

[cartronicshn]

Rear done and sizing up for the puller motor from JRH

[cartronicshn]

Almost done, i have to play around with oil weights and spring tension, but overall this chassis looks promising, i have 3" clearance on the dot with the 4" shocks.

Got your pm, i initially had some clearance issues with ends rubbing the bottom of the dig, i just installed a small spacer and everything worked out awesome, i haven't updated this thread since i put in the 7t JRH puller motor because i stripped the idler gears and i am waiting on parts right now, though i might just try a R2D i have laying around .
Btw i can't recall what skid i am running (i shop all around), but i am pretty sure you can't go wrong with yotachump's skid

So over 2 years have gone by and this has been sitting around with an very eventual drive by my 6 year old son(he likes his losi mrc and rustler more), so i was looking for some parts and i came across these, so i installed them in about 5 minutes, haven't tested them out yet.

So after ruling the 2.2 comp scene with my moa hr axles, i have decided to run the shafty and this year we will run shafty only class, and my chassis is way outdated even by the stock creeper , so iam looking for a new chassis and would like to try one of the forward bias chassis out there, i am ready to listen to suggestions

UGC Fastback II.

[mindless]

ECD ringer chassis

[Stormin2u]

T1e Carbon Fiber Stage (Bodied) lots of ground clearance.

What skid plate do you have? I like how the lower links are way inboard. Looks almost like a Losi Comp Crawler.

Im rocking a bwd torsion chassis and I love it
I didnt notice the date at first and was going to ask how the cougars stack up against todays tires. Ive got a set of lepoards that are great but only on clean rock.

Thanks for all the input so far, anyone running a mantis type of chassis like the one for moa 2.2?

This one i think is a yotachump unit, not 100% sure though.

I have bought several tires since with the exception of the pitbulls imho these are still one of the best tires out there, to bad they didn't go taller with them, to me my leopards suck compared to the cougars
