I got a new chassis in the mail yesterday. I'm liking the looks of this one and can't wait to try it out. Tore my old rig down and got this as a roller today. Now the fun part....WIRES! Right at 3" under the belly. This chassis was designed around 4" shocks. My front links are a tad shorter than the rears so I had to adjust my shocks a little. They are stock Twin Force shocks that are a tad longer than 4". I ended up limiting the fronts about .600" and the rears are not limited at all. All throughout the travel,it seems to work really smooth so far. Once I get all the electronics in,I'll see how I like it. I may end up building all new links and go to a 4" shock front and rear. |

What's the width of the chassis from outer edge to outer edge? What about the length of the skid?

Thank you. All these other jokers ain't got nothing nice to say..... Put them in a lathe. I used a small radius tool and just kissed the can. We've been slow at work for a while now. Boredom | |

What a bunch of___________s. I like the chassis who made it. The wheels look good too. Very Nice. I'm sorry but I don't like the motor cans. I think you freaked John out. A guy like you and you have two piece upper links. Get some lock outs for the back. |

Your the greatest Ricky. The chassis....get with Yotachump (Anthony) The wheels....they'll be available very soon through ME! Berg and Axial offset,both 10 3/8" wide outside. I kinda like the motor cans...it's different. Freaked John out,guess it don't take much to freak out an Amish guy. The upper links,yeah,kinda cheesy. It works though. Been meaning to cut me some. I'm gonna build me some lockouts soon. | ||

I am really liking this chassis. Are you going to have this at the Raptorland comp in a few weeks? I am thinking of putting together a darkside rig sometime this summer.

Looks good Steve but you still need to learn to drive. I will be watching the mailbox for a set of those wheels. |
