Looks great, the paint job is kind of different, but I really like it. Not something I have seen to much on a crawler. I know that Kc Jones is trying to get rid of the frogger chassis, and for the price, I might just have to get one. Looking forward to seeing the finish product.

Looks good Gaspare - waiting for mine - everything's been stripped down today. What have you used for the panels - is it a plastic card or lexan? Also, are those standrd axial bent links in the pak or have you had some made up to length? be good if those fot s I've got loads of 'em.

Thanks Mate , will do the same re: lexan.

Yeah, I 've got a mix of copies and Axial ones - think minme are 3Racing but they're OK - not bent any and they don't seem to scratch up any worse than the Axial ones.

Found plenty of lexan sheet on ebay. How thick did you go -2mm?

stewbaru · 02-20-2011, 06:26 PM

Hey, I used a grinding mask clear outer (will remove the over film once painted)
its 1mm thick and fairly stiff. Works well.

Nice work Rock, diggin' the blue.

RockMafia · 02-20-2011, 11:41 PM

Hi guys small update got a little done installed tranny(running a teambr00d 45t motor) ,razors , lower bent links and the rear end

Hey Dasher heres a link to the one i bought http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Parma-8x9-0-0...item5197df57fe

KC_JoNeS · 02-20-2011, 11:47 PM

Lookin' good mate!

Casey

Dasher · 02-21-2011, 05:21 AM

Thanks, 0.030 then, just less than 1mm. 1mm is easy enough to get hold of.

RockMafia · 02-22-2011, 09:35 PM

cheers Rino

ps (Hey Casey does look like the chassis is siting right)

I think it looks good mate! Normally, I run a BTA steering setup, so I dont know about using the Razors up front, so I am a bit curious how you like it.
Get your steering dialed, capture some video, and post it up.

RockMafia · 02-22-2011, 09:45 PM

cheers mate will do

KC_JoNeS · 02-22-2011, 09:47 PM

Also, the only thing I see that is questionable is your rear lower links. I would probably try to replace that skid plate in favor of one that triangulated your lowers better. I love using the Razors in the rear, and then triangulate the lowers a rediculous amount. I see no TT on my comp frogger because of this.
