| Re: Snipers Prodigy
I got the axles mounted up, lowers are VP Ti, uppers are slow Ti for now, but I may need to adjust the lengths of the uppers a little still, but the links I had laying around , good for first mock up. Everything clears great as I suspected, I can even move the trans further forward , which I AM going to have to try. I do have a slight rub on the driveshaft and front upper link mounting hardware, but if I turn the screw around and put the nut on the outside it will clear fine. Truck weighs 2.017 lbs, 915 g, and balances on the front lower link mount rod ends, with a servo,battery,electronics on the front axle knuckle weight should not be needed.and truck should be in the lower 3 lb range I AM hoping. Not that I AM a fan of superlight trucks, but just to show it can, and if I want it heavier, I can add weight where I want it to be.      My thoughts where I want the servo and battery mounted up   |

I want to beat on the trans for a bot to make sure it is going to work, and then they will be available

I made a set of rims for the truck, but wrong offset since I decided to go with the ar axles.   |

Rick Rig is looking great. Glad to see you stuck the motor out the front. I think its benefits will out weigh the negatives. |

knocked out a servo mount tonight, this is another first mock up, but seems to be fine, i just need to incorporate the battery mount and an electronics tray of some sort on the front axle now.   |

Super cool servo mount. Should allow multiple options for links, with good geometry any way you choose to build it. Awesome. |

 I got the battery mount tonight. carbon piece, i was feeling a bit too much green.  it mounts with standoffs with the same holes as the servo. the battery sits low beside the servo on the right side, the electronics will be on the left side when all done. top view  bottom view  side view  the tab on the front of the battery mount goes into a hole drilled into the axle truss to support the front of the mount. | |

I'm loving this setup. With the servo mounted the way you have it, it looks like guys could use it on the narrowed AR60's commonly seen. The battery couldn't fit where you have it, but the servo would still be sitting very low and in a great position. Has me considering AR60's for sure...COG is way better than what I have. Very interesting/inspiring. |

Not interested in the rowdy truss; but maybe the housings. I'm still trying to figure this all out before I make a move. | |

I swapped out the hubs, and moved my offset on my rims and got the track width down to 10.75, right where I like it.   |
