Default The Pinch - Micro Comp Chassis build

Just pulled these out of the mail box. I will update as I get it built, so stay tuned...

Build goals:

-Make a competitive rig
-Low number of chassis parts (budget minded)
-Use stock components...including shocks
-Adjustable ride height

Yes. The goal is to use the stock hardware (including shocks) to make a well performing rig. So the customer will not have to buy anything besides the chassis kit.

Thanks Jeremy .

Yes, the shocks will mount to the cross braces.

Thanks, but it has some testing to go through before I take any orders.

Chassis is mounted. I need to go get a drill bit for the chassis braces.

The chassis is sitting on top of a piece of lead weight, but it will sit a tiny bit higher.

Both side plates weigh in at about 5 grams.

Looking good Sven! By chance, did you also weigh the stock chassis plates?

Thanks everyone. I just finished building it.

Jeremy: I measured both stock plates at 7 grams together. My final chassis plates will probably lose a little more out of the center, so it should be a touch lighter than they are now.

Complete pics in 7 minutes...
