I have had this thing for a while, threw it together in a few hours and hit the road for the East Coast Championships, took 3rd place. Now I have some time to actualy make a truck worth looking at. Here's what I have so far. Drew the plates up last night, cut them out today. This is as far as I got before the mono started to kill me again.

I used 90mm shocks, but you can use from 80 to 140mm shocks and keep the ride height close to the same. I wanted plenty of squat/anti-squat adjustment so I got lots of upper link holes. I haven't had the energy to make a new skid to get the lowers back down where the need to be, so the hacked together skid I made for ECC will do for now. More updates when I get some more energy.

Thats the great thing about CNC, if you are going to make 2 you might as well make 6, or 100...................

True enough, going to use a Axial tranny?

LOL!

Call it the Panty Raider! It does kinda look like a pair of knickers. REally close to the first TVP chassis I made, except the rising sun.

Hope you start getting better soon.

Well that was convenient!

IF I can get my hands on a OCM, I may have to try one of the KJP (kamikaze/jester/pantie) chassis!

Badd · 05-24-2008, 03:14 AM

I for see another build thread soon . hmmmmmmmmmm TLT or Axial :-P

Thanks, the reason that its not a tuber........ Tuber= 3-4hours This chassis = 3-4 minutes.

Must be nice to have access to Cnc's,WaterJetters and such. Where I live we just got RC cola in the glass bottle and Moonpies, and there just available as a pre-order

Seriuosly though great chassis are they gonna be made to the public?

Thanks, I actualy used a cnc router table on these, works realy nice. As far as public avalability.......not real sure.

Tinkered around for a minute. With these major offset rims I had a problem with the panthers catching the steering and the lockout, I didn't have that problem with the losi's since they are much harder.

So I modded the rear lockout, then changed the steering. Problem solved. Pics are self explanitory.

dezfan · 05-24-2008, 03:49 PM

Show off!:-P

Sure hope I can score a OCM soon.:-(

rockbound · 05-24-2008, 03:50 PM

nice idea on the steering to save some clearance. why are you running the bumper, it just adds weight, is it protecting something?

Hope you get better soon!
