Shock are rebuilt and mounted up! 40 WT and 1.8 rate springs rear. 35wt and 1.4 rate springs front. ( Changed after i took the pic!) Going to try the links and shocks setup like this first. Sits a hair over 3 inches of clearance like this. Mocked up with some assassins.    |

I love live builds, and this chassis is interesting, almost makes me wish that I didn't get rid of the WK tranny! Glued to the screen... |

Does the chassis flex much at the shock mounts?

I plan on making a electronics tray above the motor tomorrow. You could put a brace between the sideplates if flex was a concern also. Got the tranny today cali, Thanks | |

The pumkin clearance is 1.5 inches. These link/ shock mounts really tuck up close to the axle for better clearance.   I was close to getting all the electronics ready to install last night and did this.  ( male to male plugs on motor leads!!) Planning on making some electronics trays today after a trip to lowes and local hobby shop again. Last edited by rottenbelly; 08-28-2009 at 04:48 AM. | |

I was thinking of something like this for a electronics tray/spot. With only a tekin fxr and a spektrum rec i dont think it will affect my cog to bad. What do you guys think? This will be temporary till i get some delrin. I think i could also do some kind of L-bracket to drop it down a little closer to the top of the motor.   Also notice in the pic below i switched out knuckles and c's. Put on some RCP crawlers clockable c's and knuckles. I was having clearance issues with the srtc ones.

I like the electronics plate. But if you can lower it do it. I don't think of will matter much with that tiny esc and receivers weigh next to nothing. If anything lower it so the body won't have a change to rub.
