I made a couple of complex electronic mounts and then took a step back to look at what I was doing. I figure I could mount my electronics hung from the chassis or I can make a plate off the axle. Either way, it puts them in the same exact spot only the extra plate adds weight. I decided to just hang them from the chassis.

Ish be tight for sure. I really cant take much credit though. I have no idea how I did it but as tight as this space is, it pretty much just fell into my lap. In fact, this whole car is turning out that way. Not much is fighting me and its all turning out exactly how I want, which is really strange.

She be running and driving...! I only drove it on my concrete shop floor but it feels VERY odd. I am not sure how to explain it. I am also getting a lot of jacking when steering. We will see how it goes on the rocks though. |

Wow, tighter than a clam with lockjaw... but magnificent! Looks like you've dug those tires out from way in the back corner with those spider webs. |

If thats it then its a product of KIA but workable to get to a minimum, shock and link geometry plays into it as well. Last edited by Robbob; 04-12-2018 at 09:33 AM. | |

Just in one direction. I am not really concerned about how the car acts on flat ground concrete though. I will wait for the rocks. | |

I made these body mounts but I am not too stoked on them. I will refine these later. I just took some Delrin tube and sleeved it over the top of my aluminum braces. This way I can use those wire clamps and use the plastic threaded rod. I dont know if that made any sense. LOL |

Lid looks good and sits nice and low now go get some scratches and video. I thought you'd be out driving it last weekend. |

Looking about $20 per shaft. I might be able to do less for shorter shafts too. Yes, I have. I have some thoughts and videos that will come later on when I get the time to post them. | |
