Pretty cool Geo! I like that chassis a lot! Its really cool to see these on somebody elses rig and see what small tweaks have been done. I am looking forward to you guys figuring all the adjustabilty out so I can copy. |

reasoning behind the aluminum fromt long, versus delrin ? you have a delrin long in the rear, just wondering the reason for the change up on front. figure it might be for the servo mounting, but also thought that with the servo mount and servo bolting up it would secure the flex enough to be good ! just wondering looks good geo keep it up! |

Even with a super tiny front aluminum housing it still weighs .4oz more than my bigger diameter rear delrin tube. Thats the reasoning for delrin on the rest. Delrin is close to 1/2 the weight. You might be able to stiffen it up with the servo mount. You would have to figure out a different/crazy type mount though. No way would the screws hold in that. | |

Im not sure what the actual degree is. With the adjustability of the D lux tubes any degree you want is possible. | |

How are you liking them? I am finding just a touch of weight back there makes a world of difference. | |

What is the point of putting lightweight parts in the rear, if you're just going to add the rear knuckle weights to it?
