2.2 droop steel tuber
 

Ok I was going to document the whole build as usaul but after getting the start of the chassis bent I just started building.

I wanted to try a few new things so instead of modifying something else I did a new one & am way happy so far.

The steering stuff will be here tomorrow so I can get it setup for the comp, oooo so much practice time.

It will be high steer & maybe bta, we will see. I still have to play with the ride height & the shock setup but I do like the way droop handles.

Here are the pics:

Nice Rig"thumbsup" Taking the photo's against that white towel was a good idea, it helps show a lot of detail.

Looks good. Nice to see another cutting board skid.

Why do you have your battery packs on the rear axle. Wouldn,t you have too much weight on the rear and not on the front. Just my 2 cents.
the chass is looks frikin sick by the way. great skills man.

Sweet job on the chassis"thumbsup"

what did you use for body panels?

Yeah I love that stuff, cheap, easy to work with & damn tough.

Thanks!

I don't run any weight in the wheels & with the weight in the front wheels it is balanced at the center of the trans.

Thanks!

I use .030 clear polyester sheet found at LHS & use automotive grade vinyl on the back side for color so I never have to worry about paint chipping or my receiver falling off of the inside of the roof.

Thanks guys, I like it better than the other one so far.

I didn't make it to the comp as the steering parts didn't arrive until this morning but it is now ready & I did go BTA with it for clearance & servo horn protection.
