BTW, the first vid was just taken while I was doing some high speed handling and durability testing. I'll have some FOFF appropriate vids wrapped up soon.

No worries guys...the material for the skids finally arrived this afternoon! This chassis is a very unique design from the ground up, and I just dont want to post pics until I have the correct parts wrapped up. While the prototypes have worked awesome, the final version is getting dressed up a little bit and is being made from better materials than my prototypes. All of the bashing I've done has only managed to spin wheel hexes and strip 48 pitch spurs in terms of damage. Pics will be posted ASAP. BW |

I want to run an built axial trans with my novak hv 6.5t brushless system that was on my 1/8 buggy with 32 pitch gears on 4s. am i going to be able to offset the trans to ballance out the weight of the motor? i am going for balls to the walls, lol.

| I doubt it. The skid would have to be wide to do that. Your best bet is to just have thespur forward with the motor on the right side to fight the TT, although I'm pretty sure the skid will be drilled to orient the motor and trans that way.

if you watch the video closely you can see the skid, it is pretty wide. but it wouldnt matter, the modifying is what makes this hobby fun. |
