Awesome start man. I cant wait to see it finished.

BrockGrimes · 09-15-2007, 12:13 PM

You might want to consider a 4 link, the torque needed for formula offroad will twist those leafs.

But looks great. Nice chassis they would make a great scaler.

The 2nd chassis was more like "why not make one with leafs for my CJ8"
and maybe a trailer for the formula off-road

Glad you like it
check back

BrockGrimes · 09-15-2007, 10:19 PM

Cool i was thinking with 2 chassis you had something like that in mind.

idk that looks sorta thick

frdtrkguy · 09-16-2007, 12:19 AM

That is a great idea for the rear steering lockout. I would love to see one of our fine vendors make something like this out of aluminum.

crawler_king · 09-16-2007, 09:30 AM

sweet!!! I am following this thread.. I wouldnt mind putting one together myself.. I was thinking the way to go for a formula off road rig might be nitro tho... just for the wheel speed..

I have a lathe down stairs

and lots o alu round stock I cant think of another way to make the rear lock .... I mean it is so easy to mount and no bulky links !!!! Right ?

thanks for all your comments and input

It is 0.8 mm (1/32") alu sheet, bend and shaped over a steel template with hand tools,
I even did a 1 mm steel fender to see if it could be done with just a hammer
I will try and make a steel template for the grill next. It will be like a 5 mm (ca 1/4") thick steel grill that I can use again and again to shape the alu grill :-P
