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

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.

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 ?

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

I am still wondering why in the heck there arent 1:1 guys doing formula off road here in the states.... Or am I just missing it?
THe other day I spent half the day just watching you-tube vids on the subject... and trying to figure out how I can convince my significant other that we need to make a trip oversees to watch a4x4 event....
