I can't leave bodiless completely. Krawl and I made a deal that I got this car if I was top 5 in supers at nats. Well, this sure is the prettier than the other trophy.

can't wait to see the build

I hate you Shelby. Cya at ECC

ROWDY RACING · 12-30-2011, 04:32 PM

That is a beautiful chassis.

Abe KT · 12-30-2011, 06:11 PM

Speechless!

mindless · 12-30-2011, 06:22 PM

You get all the cool shit!!!

Stormin2u · 12-30-2011, 07:09 PM

That's gotta be somewhere in our future, it's the next step forward, I want one.

losiking1 · 12-30-2011, 08:08 PM

Would have been nice to have one north of the border

Thanks guys I appreciate all the kind words and I know the Jeremy does as well. I was really tempted to mount this chassis to the trophy, but it just looks too cool to not build up.

4xFord · 12-30-2011, 08:26 PM

So, the rear axle is finished. It is a front axle case with RC4WD cases/plates, Hot racing gears, one bushing, and a ton of brass inserts.

Also running a 16 turn Holmes 454 puller with an 11 tooth pinion.

I did a much lighter shave than on the villain car.

And here is the rear axle weight. The motor is some
thing like 4.2 oz I think. I will weigh the other one before I mount it.

TEDROCKZ · 12-30-2011, 08:28 PM

You got to much sh#t going on at once

All looking stellar as usual

JimmyJam · 12-31-2011, 03:07 PM

Looking Fabulous!!! I would build it up too and after its comp life is finished, glue it back together and then mount it to the trophy.

Thanks and thats not a bad idea.

4xFord · 01-01-2012, 12:57 PM

I finished up the rear suspension.

dude26 · 01-01-2012, 01:11 PM

Is it chaotic upper link ?

and another think, you using scx10 shocks so they're 3.5" long ??

Yes. And chaotic links are 50/50 setup, I run a front bias on my V4's. So I had to add Jato rod ends to them to get them to work for my setup.

If you look at the rod end at the bottom of the shock, you can see it is a angled axial end. That adds quite a bit more length to the shock.

dude26 · 01-01-2012, 02:02 PM

thanks for the answer

next step for me is Ti link and after a BJ V4.2

Stormin2u · 01-01-2012, 04:52 PM

That's dope, plain and simple.

superduty03 · 01-01-2012, 07:03 PM

Wow, I like!

PipeDreams · 01-02-2012, 05:24 PM

Nice. I'll be following close I'm putting my 4.2 together soon
