My Sedona's do hit the springs, but I just stuff it and go

JeepinDoug's C cups help a ton with that.

I was actually wondering the same question, how you had it hooked up.

The other part I noticed of your build was the VP Razors, didn't notice them till today. But do you use 4 of them on your rig? Since I installed the Axial bta, it won't work for the front, but would on the rear.

DickyT · 06-27-2010, 07:19 PM

Razors on the rear only, the will not work with the axial bta.

Congrats on the wins guys!! Gotta luv Juan's chassis's!!

Stormin2u · 06-28-2010, 08:48 AM

Thanks Richard, I'll have to give Jeepin's c cups a try my front set up is identical to yours except for that. The more I look the better this chassis looks it's gonna be hard to give up my GC-2 but a roll over at yesterdays comp cost me points to fix my body other than that the run was almost flawless.

Back under 6lbs

Barely, but under.

Man, looking GOOD! Convert the uppers from SS to Delrin

It is amazing how much weight you can cut by switching to it!

Front uppers are aluminum, not SS

I have them in metal for stability in dig. When I was running delrin uppers it wanted to fold under on dig.

Man that is sexy!

Be patient. Good things come to those who wait. He has to heal up his shoulder before being safe in operating the mills.

I picked up the aluminum needed this morning, and the Delrin will be picked up tomorrow morning. I plan to start machining early next week, and I'm shooting to ship by next weekend (I hope

).

I did make one small change that I ran by Richard, but everything is identical as far as the geometry goes.

I'm modeling up templates for the panels this weekend. I'll have a new thread here as well as in the vendor section this weekend too.

I'll take pre-orders once things look more solid, but I really don't like taking money from anyone unless I have something going out the door.

Keep your eyes peeled.

DickyT · 07-01-2010, 11:55 AM

I have had some pm requests for a better shot of side panels. Black on black is hard to get, so sorry for flash photography, but you can see the lines now.

This will be my next chassis upgrade. No questions about it.

DickyT · 07-03-2010, 08:36 PM

I came in 4th in SSRCC comp 5 today in Jacksonville. I had 2 perfect runs

and ate the same 30 in the finals that all 5 drivers did.

My course scores were:

1) 7
2) -16
3) -16
Fin) 30

Total: 5

The rig ran great, any faults were on me not getting proper tire placement or just a bad line.
