I would keep the inboard shock mounts and run 30* bent uppers to clear the shocks.

Shocks would mount top or bottom for 4 positions. This setup puts the upper shock mounts in the same position as the original Fastback.

Hey Juan what is the little leg in the middle of the chassis plate for? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Thats the rear upright from the other side.

Highlucks · 03-09-2011, 10:27 PM

Oh

don't i feel stupid now....

pm sent!!!

oh and I absoultly love the idea of the front shock mount. Killer idea. As you know I have DT's old fastback I have sense inboarded the front shocks even more then he had them and love the way its working for me right now. If your interested in seeing what I did pm me, or if your looking for any more input for ur new design. I would be glad to share any info from my current set up with ya. This new style front shock mount is a killer Idea. The only down fall for me is my esc is mounted below the front upper links so it might hit the new style shock mount. If i'm in time to make your list for this chassis I guess only time will tell. Well anyway glad to see a new run hope I get to be one of the lucky ones. Thanks again for all your hard work Juan.

If I had know demand would have been this high, I would have done more than 25

I will have a few extra, since I always order a few extra pieces for trying out how the machine is set up. If these turn out fine, I'll have a few extras but as of right now there is one spot left.

I'm going to try and get my top cut before I go on vacation. Since the bottom is the same, I can bolt it to my Fastback and get some pictures up.

No offence to any other vendors but there isn't many GOOD chassis out there any more for the AX.... the VP incision maybe but to me that's the only other contender. Plus this is bodiless and no one out there offers that to the AX guys. This is a great performing chassis with lots of tuning available in it. Any one that wants to be competitive with an AX needs a good chassis and where do you think they are looking? SWX? GC-3? These are all old school. The FB is nice and narrow and lets face it, it doesn't look like some randomly cut plate. It's got flow and design all wrapped up in a bad ass looking package!

If your spare pieces work out that you have spare uppers I'll take a set of just uppers. That's all I really need. Then you have my full chassis to sell to someone. But if you got no spare uppers then I'll take the whole thing. I figured these would fly fast!

C*H*U*D · 03-10-2011, 06:34 AM

I forgot to mention that I will also have D-mounts available for those that want them.

scoobysport · 03-10-2011, 07:13 AM

The D-Mount is a rear 4-link mount for Axial axles. Duuuuuuuude says it helps performance but I think he's a bit biased

narly1 just closed out the 25th spot! Sorry if you didn't get in, but I honestly didn't think 25 would go so fast.

kmnss · 03-10-2011, 08:38 AM

Sweet, thanks for adding me to the list.

PP ready when you are.

YJJPWrangler · 03-10-2011, 08:43 AM

Ahh, I figured it was something like that. I might as well go ahead and get one, I like the adjustability of that mount

It also does your homework, walks the dog, and makes you irresistible to the ladies.

And no, I'm not biased. I just know a completely earth shattering, life changing design when I see one.

I could never get those features working on mine, it did smooth out articulation greatly though by allowing the ball ends to move along their natural plane.

CrawlinCowfreak · 03-10-2011, 10:50 AM

Wahey , just made it onto the list , been wanting to try this chassis for awhile , cheers Juan

Those methods are clearly lined out in pages 7, 23, and 56 of the operators manual.
