Thanks for your reply.In thread you show me has a chassis from neweramodels,use stock transmission (a little high COG ) but looks good.However as you said,thread is old and neweramodels don't have it.

I have never used CAD and really will be difficult for a newbie.

I like the style of this chassis-build..

1st Attempt at a scratch built rig!

Slop as in how? Side to side in the mounts?

Best suggestion I can make for you is to hand draw something you like for the chassis, mock it up in cardboard, then cut it out in the material of your choice, I like poly cutting board from Walmart. I have done several chassis this way, it takes practice to get a perfect chassis but its fun.

Sorry for late reply but had to make a video about the slop.
Here it is.

Do you believe that level3rc lower mounts will solve this problem?Are those more tight than stock plastic of crawler king?

This is a good idea but I am not so good to handmade constructions,for that reason I search something ready for wk!

if you still have the plastic balls in the rod ends swap them out with some steel ones and that should take care of the slop.

I already run aluminum links with steel rod balls.I think the problem is the plastic lower link mounts.
