|  Bastard Jr. Build/Poulson axles
I got one of these Wednesday and I was going to wait until I had a new set of axles built to use with this chassis, but I could not wait so I tore apart my home built tuber and went to work. Alot of the parts I had made for my chassis worked with this one because I used the AX 10 parts on my chassis as well. I have most of it figued out except the front upper links. I don't know if I should use the 3 or 4 link setup. The 3 links would be easier, and would keep the axle centered . The 4 link might need a little more work  If you are going to use a DNA dig, you should make a skid like the one shown. The rear links will fit inside the mount if you dremel a little off the dig housing.Well here are some pics. Sorry my camera is not the best. |

How is the quality on the chassis? In the pictures the tubing looks kinda small.

It looks to be 1/8 solid rod. If thats the case there is nothing to worry about. Tyler has been running and competing with a 1/8 rod chassis for over a year in super without any issues. | |

Here is the last pic of the Bastard Jr. on the rocks in the back yard. It works as well as any of the other crawlers that I have built. It was nice not having to fabricate the chassis.

Thanks for the build pics. Been debating wether or not to order a Jr. and this has helped the process. Couple questions if you don't mind: Skid width is stock Axial...is that correct? What is the actual height from top of the tire to the roof line? How's the CG? Thanks |

The top of tire to roof line is 1 5/8 to 1 3/4. The CG is lower because the top of the chassis is lighter than what I was using. The roof line is also lower. The weight bias has shifted lower. Last edited by motorman1600; 12-02-2008 at 10:37 PM. | |

Nice work! I'm almost done with mine  What is your center clearance with those shocks? It looks good there, but I'm debating really slamming mine low. |
