Default widow lp (low profile chassis)

I just built one of offroader5's widow lp's, and I am having troubles figuring out where I should mount the lower suspension. Also is this chassis better or worse than the original widow? Has anyone used this chassis before? Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you mount your lower links, and what tranny are you using? If you got some pictures, they'd be appreciated

You could use a skid that has provisions for triangulating the lowers. They would converge at the skid. Something similar to this skid I made for a previous build:

very good idea. I think that the only way that I could do this though is if I got high clearance links.


It's good to get a reply from the creator himself though. Thanks a million for the chassis design

Here's mine, I'm using AX-10 drivetrain. The chassis works good for me. Hope it works for you. Big thanks out to Offroader5 for making his designs available to everybody!
