| got the chassis plates cut and drilled. i designed the pattern in autocad(being a architect i tend to over do things for the sake of precision) its 1/4" acrylic, this is my first "plastic" chassis so well see how it holds up. i think it will do just fine with the way is supported by the aluminum... and cut the shock mount, body mount, chassis mount rails to length. chassis upside down, ie table = bottom of jeep body...  |

| axles and links mounted. next up shock mounts (origonal plan was to bolt them to the angle aluminum, but as you can see there way too long :-( ) i tryed my RS4 shocks (2.5") and they were perfect, but only had .5" of travel...not gonna cut it. also got my jerry can painted up (in the background)  |

| got the shocks all mounted. and got my adjustable motor plates at lunch! ill be mobile tonight! thinking of choping off 1.5" of the black chassis plates adn raisingn the lower link mounts the same 1.5" to make it look more scale with the body one. so they dont hang so low.... what do you guys think? also in the works with diaz are scale chassis rails for it...(ditching everything you see here minus axles and links)  |

| well made a MAJOR improvement tonight, decided to hack off 1.5" of the chassis plates, and raise the lower links the same 1.5" drew it up in CAD, made me a pattern, tore the chassis apart, transfered the pattern, drilled the holes, cut the parts off, and reassembled. made a HUGE difference. looks MUCH more realistic. plus i gained 1.5" of ground clearance, shed some weight, and didnt raise my CG at all. woot! (just realized from the pics it looks like the body raised too. it did NOT. just swung the links upward and hacked off the extra, the body and chassis rails are sitting at the exact same height) before:  after  |
