looks good! a lot of these frame styles coming out! wish I had the skill to build one! I like the more scale look, but all these other chassis driving me nuts... I need to get a second job... and maybe a third! |

still experimenting with link mounting locations, but in the stock holes it flexes WAY better. this is mainly due to the shock relocation, and longer links though

Rules of Thumb The farther back, and farther in-board you can move the shock tops the better it will flex, but at the cost of ride height. Longer links also help the flex, but again at the cost of ground clearance. However the lower ground clearance also lowers the center of gravity, and a low CG with good articulation is a great combination. With all that said....Very nice to see another designer stepping up to the plate....good job! I would be interested in trying one....PM me. Last edited by Dogbreath; 07-03-2010 at 01:59 AM. | |
