| Re: The "What The Hell am i doing building a sporty" Thread
this is something I saw on 8-454's sporty, and thought it was a great idea  and had to make one of my own.... Thank you Everett....  took me a bit to get this drawn out, but im happy enough with it to cut one out and here is what it looks like whittled out........... servo mount, link mount, battery holder and electronic tray all in one.......   still have to shorten the sides, and bend it down a bit for battery.... not sure about the other side, figure that out when I get more of it put together........ and holes to mount servo.. Man I hope it works out......... thanx for lookin...... Last edited by roksloski; 11-29-2015 at 03:38 PM. |

Is it just me or does that aluminum plate look real thick, could you do CF to save weight?

A bit of an update... got my Ti lower links on... had to put a double bend in the rear ones to get my 12.5WB  super smooth transition at the rear links.....shaft stays just above the links with a nice angle.....  and it sits at about 2 1/2 to 2 5/8 at the front of skid.........
