I was running the bjv3 but with any chassis with links there is still so much in the way of the rocks so I want to try something different. I havent drove it yet but I will give it a try on the 8th at our next 801rcc comp.

I like it. Could you get a close up of your shock mount? That's really cool.

666 · 12-31-2010, 08:15 PM

Kinda the same idea as the super you were running at St. George?

Looks cool, your always thinking!

gunnar · 12-31-2010, 08:19 PM

Why have shocks? Let the body control the flex

Looks good

I like it! It looks interesting.

lol yeah, that would have to be a thick body. You kinda need shocks. I tried a pimp cane chassis and I didn't like the way it flexed because of the pressure it would release when it flexed. This way it is super smooth.

Well if it performs anything like your super-Look out!!

Great build keep us updated on how she runs.

tuner · 01-01-2011, 06:52 PM

Its made out of home depot 1/2" square tube and a 3/8" grade 8 fine thread bolt with two nuts. It also has some stops on it so it wont flex to far.

badgravity · 01-03-2011, 01:32 AM

i tryed same setup with torsion chassis ( without shocks ) and this one link
twist bar does not hold up ... it bends or breakes the frame :(
With two links at the axle you are golden

Chaotic Crawlers · 01-04-2011, 09:29 AM

Wow Tim,

Always striving for the better setup.

I'm excited to see how it performs this saturday!

Inwould probably go for a double link setup though.
One seems like it may break in the right situation,
But without seeing it in person I could be wrong.

tuner · 01-04-2011, 08:04 PM

Its actually really strong without the links. I put the links on to make the wheelbase exactly 12.5 on each side and the added support doesnt hurt either.

tuner · 01-06-2011, 10:30 PM

I think its ready for the comp. Now I just need to learn how to drive it!

I also put some cvds up font. Finally

tuner · 01-10-2011, 11:31 AM

Well got 3rd. It actually drove allot better than I expected. Mybe ill stick with it and see how it works at the next comp. They were brutal courses. The top 3 were the only people to finish course 3 and 4.

1st-berg
2nd-xr10
3rd-berg
4th-berg
5th-xr10

2.2

Chaotic Crawlers · 01-10-2011, 11:56 AM

4th place is actually a demon berg.

Nice driving Tim!

Fixed.

I might need to make a skid plate for the rear motor because kept getting hung up because there are no links to slide on.

got a vid of this thing in action

I like anything "stick chassied",,nice play on the old school ways

switchstance · 01-14-2011, 10:45 PM

Nice!
Do you remember the old skateboard Lappers?(they were designed for the trucks so you could make it up curbs and no get hung up on the pool coping) google skateboard lappers I think a design like that would help out.
