|  bmuzz1's Re-build #3 using Fubar Crawlers "New" Chassis
MTHead AKA John AKA Fubar Crawlers has just come up with a new chassis design for all of us MOA Guys and Gals. The new chassis design uses a 2" wide channeled skid unlike the Skooter which used a 1-3/4" skid. This is for added stability over the more narrow Skooter chassis. Although the lower links maintain almost the same placement as before the uppers benefit from the 1/4" wider mounting position making the suspension feel tighter and more stable overall. You'll also notice that the chassis skid has been placed at an angle to allow for more break over clearance. If you are familiar with John's work you'll know that he makes one hell of a chassis and his attention to detail is top notch! My Re-build will consist of: Fubar Crawlers new MOA chassis T1E rear lower links Berg axles CKRC 300m 3rd gears Team Brood 40t R/T motors / 13t front, 12t rear pinions ATI Turbine 2.2 wheels / Axial offset front, berg offset rear Losi Boss Claws with Nova 5.5 dual foams front and stock foams rear Punk dig Tekin FXR JR8711 steering servo CC bec One-off Fubar steering link Vp Axial high steer knuckles Losi 4" crawler shocks Ko Propo EX-5UR Losi Grappler Pro body painted by briansbodies       More to come as the build continues -Brian |

Mine still looks the same as when you were here, staring at my wiring. I did get the rear shocks rebuilt and added an ounce to the front end, baby steps...  | |

Got her put together. I still need to install the electronics but it's a roller now. Wheelbase sits at 12-3/8" and compressed it sits right at 12.5". I have a really good feeling about this chassis not that I was ever unhappy with my Skooter chassis. This one just feels different.  The front of the skid sits about 3.25"" of clearence. The rear is at 3-7/16" and the arch of the rear lower link is at 3-5/8" ...Nice!!      And a few shots with the body mounted up.     Last edited by bmuzz1; 08-02-2010 at 09:41 AM. |

I saw one sitting on the work bench, but it's probably for one of the locals.  The t1e rear lowers really helped out a lot and are perfect for this chassis.  Last edited by bmuzz1; 07-17-2010 at 01:33 AM. | |
