Come on Gary..... Don't be such a tease! Show the pics...... Lol

The chassis is top notch. Skid is milled out to be as light as possible. All cross braces, spacers and all stainless hardware is included.

Time for the Sniper to take a rest.

I did like those Texas State Finals skins though,

We can always do another set of those for the new chassis

Almost...
Need to smash my electrical components. Then find a place to mount them.

I am digging this chassis already.

Not quite sure if the 60/40 set up is going for me on this one. May look at going 50/50 seeing the chassis is so narrow. I'll set it up 60/40 and see how it goes before I switch.

I see a thin and light Delrin cab in the near future for this already. Nothing wrong the carbon cab, I just want to lay the cab in a little.

Rig looks good Larry. Guess I should have ran it a little at the last comp.

I thought about the same thin delrin cab for the exact same reason. Cut a set for me if you do it.

Works for me!

Thanks

Here is the machined skid. It is clean, tight and to the point.





Only issue at this time is running 60/40 the rod ends hit the chassis.


A little filing and I added a thin shim on the outside of the ball end and it seems to be good.

Looking good there fella...... I had the same issue with the rod ends. I just took a tiny bit of material off the Revo rod end and it moves freely. You also can put a slight bend in the front lowers to make a better angle. I wouldn't suggest a spacer though...... You want to keep the skid and side plate interlocking fully to prevent any racking of the chassis and hence causing the lowers screws to back out. Ever experienced that problem?

I am digging your rig.

Thanks Barry. I think a bind is in order here. The shim / spacer is just a washer to give a little room but if I bend the links it won't be needed. No never had issues with skid screws backing out.
