Here it is.... Decided to step it up with another rig from the ground up.
The Zero ST chassis looks to good to pass up.

Kamikaze Kustoms Zero ST Chassis
Kamikaze Kustoms Med bend Lower links, Steering link and dig tray
Enroute Axles (front clocked)
JP Customs Loockouts
Rocksmith Eng. Upper TI. Links
Axial Stubs, Posts and spacer
Losi 90mm shocks 10wt oil
Losi grappler
Mayhem Eng. White delrin 7's
Panther Cougars
Crwlr1 Foams
Tekin FX-R
Spectrum DX3R and mini rx
Hitec servos
Thunder Power Lipo
CC Bec
Banzai 45t Handwound

Here's some photo's from todays progress..

The Rocksmith Eng. TI. uppers (Thanks for the jelly Dennis)

And the wheels..

And some shots of the front and rear end. I am in the process of modifying the knuckles for the steerink link...

More to come soon. I am awaitng some hardware and misc. stuff to finish it off. Later

Nice looks good nice color setup.

RC Shocker · 03-12-2009, 09:21 PM

Damn sexy, and it's not even complete yet

carver · 03-12-2009, 09:25 PM

Thanks guys, I finished sticking up this grappler I will be running.

But, I got to wrap it up for the night. As you can see I have a mess to sraighten out.

Dewmerz · 03-12-2009, 09:28 PM

Cool start on the build.

I'm waiting on a ST chassis from Kamikaze to switch over from my partially sprung T setup.

Did you limit the Losi shocks internally to match the rear torsion link lengths?

carver · 03-12-2009, 09:36 PM

No I did not limit them whatsoever. Seems to be leveled out nice.

rednck21 · 03-12-2009, 10:21 PM

im about to start a Zero T build myself...

twistedone · 03-12-2009, 10:41 PM

RCHuffer · 03-12-2009, 10:49 PM

nice carver, you gotta let me know how that chassis works out, might have to get me one of those. Is the axle plate also KK?

are you using axial stub shafts? heard there stronger than the stock berg shafts.

carver · 03-12-2009, 10:54 PM

Thanks, The axle skid is just Teflon tube. Super slipery

Mayhem Eng. · 03-12-2009, 10:54 PM

Looks killer, I really like the white setup. Nice job.....

carver · 03-12-2009, 10:56 PM

Thanks Mayhem, Just need some hardware to mount em up. Thanks a lot

carver · 03-14-2009, 12:16 PM

Sorry I had to do it. Some pics of the rig finished, I had to finish the build in time for our weekly comp goig on today in about an hour so here it is. I am still awaiting some foams from crwlr1 but they are on there way.

And the flex shot, Just right!

I will run her today and will let you know the results. So far it seems pretty capable, On pillows LOL.

muddog27 · 03-14-2009, 01:31 PM

looks good. can't wait to see it.

Desert Rc · 03-14-2009, 04:06 PM

Nice Build as Always.

quickster47 · 03-14-2009, 05:26 PM

That body with the Mayhem wheels looks really nice. Good choice.

carver · 03-14-2009, 06:18 PM

Well first impression of driving the rig is Wow! I love it. It need a little more tuning with the shocks maybe a lighter wt. oil but other than that it is awsome. It climbs like a champ and was easily running lines my Zero 4.0 was. It will take a little more wheel time to get used to the reaction of the suspension but it's a winner

Dewmerz · 03-14-2009, 09:13 PM

Any shots of your body mount setup? I'm also interested in seeing where you ended up placing braces.

carver · 03-14-2009, 09:36 PM

I am running one standoff between the front shocks and in the rear the Axial post is just there for the body post with a screw on ons side. Also the dig tray is held on only by the front screw mount, See....
