|  Sierra's Super build... Custom stick chassis
I ordered a few parts from McMastercarr to build a custom backbone. The wheelbase will be adjustable from 16.5" to 18.5". It's not finished just yet. I want to mount the axles to get an understanding where to mount the shock mounts. After everything is mounted to the backbone, I'll drill 1/2" holes to lighten and make the backbone look like a "gunbarrel"...  |

I'm interested in how you setup your shock mounts.

I'm going to setup the shocks similar to the stick chassis from TCS. Two shocks are used, one on each axle on the same side of the frame.

Looking good. You could mount your shocks like I did on my Stick-E:  |

Very cool, I like the heavy industrial look. The chevy body looks good too.

Good three year thread resurrection. The axles you are looking at are a set of Clodbuster axles There is a section here that you can get all the info you could ever want. RCCrawler Brand Specific Tech - Tamiya Clod Buster at RCCrawler.com |
