Time to post up some News on this Build:

Today i worked on the New Shockmounts, Link mounts and Batteryholder, for now i just have some GFK Prototypes...

Overall View:

Here you can see the Channeld front and the Rised Shocktowers.... front Tower includes directly a Battery holder ( ot finished yet), if i want to run a Singel Battery
On the Rear Shocktower you can Notice the new upperlink position it`s rised about 15mm and moved back about 5... wich brings alot of problems, but i found a solution to get enough clearance for Motor and Upper links... more on this few Pics later








For the Clearance on the driveshaft on the rear i made this little things :

Trans Offset Mounts:





Here all mounted:



With this Little modification all the Problems with the Rear Links are History...

And i made some new 4 Link adapters, wich work with VP JK G6 links:

Front:



Rear:



And finaly i cut some batteryplates wich can be mounted on the siderail supports:

Thanks i give my best.... Goal is --> Outside a Scaler, inside a performer

Today i went over for the first Version of the CFK frame.... there will be 3 Chassie made for now to test every thing... if there is a request on them i?m thinking about getting a Bluestar and make them avaible for all.... but first lets Build and drive it....

Here some Picutres of the final Product:

Top view:


Side view:


At Full compression:



Detail on the rear: you can see the "doublers" on the upper links wich should help to clear the Frame and make it more strong.. also the Electronic tray ( final version will have a Carbon plate on it, and the Body mounts are Screwed to the CFK side plates front and rear



Detail on Front: Battery tray for singel Battery setup



Next steps are :

- Crossbraces
- Sway bar on the Rear Axle

Stupid question but why is everybody putting sway bars on their scalers?

because the trucks handle much better at speed with them. plus you don't have to run such a stiff spring on the shock to stiffen up the rear suspension. you utilize the sway bar to handle that.

a rig at high speed with a sway bar is hands down more controllable and steady.



looking awesome manu!
I am dying to build a g6 and now I see this....

your not making this decision easy for me

[TSK]

Very interesting way to go about things. I like it

[daniels]

I love where this is going!

[ROWDY RACING]

This is amazing stuff Manu, one of the 3 test chassis is for me right?

Once again super clean work from you my friend, subscribed for sure.

[Tontos_Touch]

Wow this is crazy, I love the c channel in the front how much more flex dose it offer I see the full drop is great

[the lizard]

A really great job! don't stop Manu! the latest updates are simply fantastic!

little curiosity, the Beef Tubes in the rear also compensate the larger width of the front?

Thanks... no they just add some Weight down low... and make it stronger.... will compensate the wide with some hubs.....

More updates soon

[farmertom72]

[Epcampau]

[racer_zh]

Today i get a nice Package form Crawlerinnovations :

Pit Bull Mad Beast with wild duce Foams



Servo took his place on the Rig and Protosteering done :







very tight fit but clears nice



also worked on the Swaybar mount on the rear Axle, parts i used for this are:

- Vanquish AX10 Shockmount Razors
- D- Lux Swaybar Kit
- Costume CFK holder

it needs some small adjustments but i think should work:



And here test fit of the Spare tire....



Next i have to work on a spare tire holder...... and waiting for some VP wheels
