New chassis, tuber was way to heavy

[shooter125]

So pretty new to the site, but been doing this for a while and just started running some comps. Found out my rig was a little too heavy! It started its life as an scx10 and right away i started cutting it up Ran it for a while then built the tube chassis for it and loved the way it looked. Here is what it looked like a few days ago!



I really enjoyed running it with this chassis, however running sporty comps i quickly realized she needed a diet! So i dreamed this little chassis up

I didnt get a chance to weigh the new chassis next to the old one but ill do it soon i know its a lot tho Crawled it a little today and i love it so far! Interested to hear what you guys think! I already got a lot of things im gonna change just, she is far from finished!

I love it! Please get a vendor star and sell them!

Looks good. Does it meet min specs for bodiless? Looks short.

Why do you have the front shocks mounting choices so much higher than the rear? Thanks in advance!

[shooter125]

I need to get a vendor star i know!

As for the chassis (this is only one of my sporty chassis, i got a few, and i have a few pro chassis on my cnc right now too) but it measures 8.125" in length and is 3.125" in width.

And i set up the front shock mounts up higher to get the front down lower than the rear yet still get full travel out of the shock, if that makes sense? Most times hang ups come in the rear, so added clearance back there helps, however you wanna keep the cg as low as possible

I really liked the looks of the tuber chassis.

Thanks! its still on the shelf and im still gonna run it for some mountain trail runs with our 1:1 rigs!

Do you have a provision to attach a hood? Its slmost like the back extension should be on front.

[shooter125]

this was only the prototype. Ya i i got some plans for the front hood and stuff. just wanna make sure that the bugs are worked out of the chassis then aesthetics.
