Good idea. Couple that with some steel gears and you will be officially bulletproof!

Very nice work. I love the look of your truck. I noticed the battery is up front now. Its going to be able to climb any hill now. I used to run a set of creeper beadlocks too.
Test vid??

I was going to put it on the side in the Future but it runs so good I am going to keep it in the front. The new Chassis Design allows the Pack to sit level on the Upper arms just behind the Servo.

DAMN TREES!! OUCH!!

That is shitty but good thing you have another chassis on the way eh? And damn what were you doing like 90mph because that is some serious carnage. To bad you didnt have the camera rolling. I have a tranny test vid where this garbage can appeared out of nowhere and I hit it full tilt. It sounded awesome in slo mo too.

Dude with the Slipper and the 88 Tooth in combo with the 7 cell 4600 This things rips or ripped.The slipper works great full speed over bumps and such it is so smooth!! Yeah I will get that chassi someday. It wil be 1/8th Alum. Plus I will put a few more braces on the new one.

I think it might have more to do with there is only 1 brace up front and the material was some old cast Alumnium. The HPI 15 Turn motor is Quick.....but not 90I am lovin the slipper. Maybe tommorow if I get time I am going to take it to the beach. I kinda banged it back straight for now.

Just an Update on the Slipper. Smooth as Silk. When running full speed through bumpy or uneven ground you can see and feel the difference Big Time. Hard to explain, but for Bashing or the hill climbs A definite Must!!!

any chance you could post up dimensions or a blueprint of the chassis plates?

Specially something with measurements for the holes and such.

Really like the simplicity of the plates and would like to uhm...'borrow' the idea

Looking good and love the formula style

With this set-up, mount the fastest motor you can get, 11.1v lipo batts and full throttle it over water and it will run!!


Just like this!!
