Looks like ou are off to a good start. you may want to start accounting for a cutout to clearance the spur gear. I'd hate foryou to cut it out of CF only to find that it needs more bracing once a cut out for the spur is made. I would also have made the lowers triangulate more as the torque twist becomes a big issue with big hp. Perhaps something similar to this EEM double triangulation skid? Beautiful work with the band saw and router though Last edited by TSK; 02-20-2012 at 01:50 PM. |

Actually after re-reading, I realize that you made your ski AX width, which will allow the tvp's to clear a pretty big spur. I guess I'm just used to seeing all the narrow comp style chassis.

well after deep thought i ordered a scx frame, this chassis will work but battery and esc will have to be mounted to high so it probly wouldn't be as stable as the scx i might get back on it later and just cut the bottom of it flush and have the skid screws on the same plane as the top links, then go back with the scx skid to drop the bottom links down and make some shock hoops kinda like hacksaw's Last edited by srt6; 02-21-2012 at 11:26 PM. |

| Re: just another scx foff
got some parts in today, put the springs on the shocks and they still felt a little stiff so i drilled out the piston to 1/16", refilled them with 40wt & they feel a lot better hope i get enough parts in by the time i leave to at least have it rolling also got the axles ready for beef tubes Last edited by srt6; 02-23-2012 at 06:59 PM. |
