Let me know and I can send you 1:1 templates to make it easier. Or I can cut a thin piece for a template.

Nice looking build.
Now I see what you mean about the link similarities.How long are they (just the delrin pieces)?
Can't wait to see what you did with the wheels.

Just the Delrin part is 63mm using Revo ends.

Time to get this thing going again

Got my links from Harley today, they ended up being a few mm shorter than expected, but I will just shorten the top links a bit to compensate.



Axles attached to the chassis (still need to shorten top links and build shocks)


I also got my wheels back from 1offrc.com, black anodizing with teflon coating.




I think I am going to be able to fit the RX under the front link plate, still debating the ESC placement.

thinking of dumping the Cougars and going with a set of rovers for now (then maybe Sedonas?)

Ordered up a set of rovers from TCS, picked up a grappler pro while I was at it just in case I have clearance issues with the taller tires.

I think I have electronics placement nailed down.

Should be on the home stretch now.

Ordered up what I hope will be the last little bits for this build.

Waiting on a few final details, and she should be ready to go.

The finishing work on the links came out great Andy, nice job.

The rest of your stuff should get done this week.

Shocks built - Check

Wheels and tires - Check

Josh is helping me with something else for this build, after that I have paint and wiring to do, and I should be able to hit this with the done stamp

The last little bits are coming together now, Mr awesome himself just sent me the last file for approval before he starts milling.

Can't wait.

Harley made me up a set of chassis cross braces to match my links, I had him integrate body post mounts and a esc plate into them as well. We tried to mimic the lines of the chassis.





Trimmed the grappler for now, not sure If I like how much I had to trim yet.

We'll see when I throw some paint on it.
