Default LOW, Low Sawback...

Well having been inspired by OSRC's Bellydragger, finally made a start on mine..
CMS, because upsidedown axles. Axial SCX10 tranny, gearing is erm, interesting! Going to need s 55turn motor maybe? Plenty of torque then tho I guess? Still a WIP. so excuse rough edges. Skid will be steel, along with the new rails I'll have to plasma out at work.
Wheels have changed, and some extra GPM stuff has been fitted... (no pics)
Stable, bloody hell is it stable! Cant wait to get this finished and give it a go at the UK G6!

Very cool. Why did you turn the axles upside down? Does the Axial Trans spin the opposite way?

Found it a bit tippy when out with it. This massively lowers the CoG Unsure about the Axial trans rotation TBH but it does fit nicely and is very easy to mount.

Anchors away... Well, its heavy enough! Mild steel 1/8" plate after a bit of feckery turned into a skid plate.

Very nice! Love the color. Let me know how it runs, you'll probably finish yours long before I get mine done.

Thank you!! I do seem to be making good progress with this one, my CFX was a slower build than this. But then I also had some very good inspiration for this one!
