|  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 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. |
