Yes is it...

Keep in mind this is still very prototype but this is the beginning of the new Reign RC Menace (name could still change).

PinchFlat's goal was to make something that can me much narrower than the stock and of course improve the stock geometry. Lower link mounting isn't for certain either, he let said to see what I come up with.

I'm still working on the upper link mounts for the front but I hope to have that figured out tonight.

Someone thought they were clever and drew all over the skid

Yeah, my wife was tired and went to bed so I stayed up til midnight and got it to here. It was funny though, I looked at the Point Five chassis, then the Menace, then back and forth a few times but this won out

The Point Five should go together really quick though and I wanted to figure out what I needed to get from the LHS today.

Thanks, the skid is a little more than half the width of stock.

Really its a hack job, I just drilled a piece of aluminum out to fit the mounting holes then drilled two holes in the front of it to mount the links, crude but effective.

Up and running and it really came together well. PinchFlat and I have been talking and there might be some final changes but its working so well right now too.

I had to switch to Mini T rear shocks as the shocks I was using were just too big in diameter and kept hitting either the chassis or rubbing the front tires while turning.

Besides that I made a front upper link mount and mounted the links just behind the servo. I drove it around a little inside and I am very impressed at the overall improvement. Tomorrow it will get some outside drive time and paint.

Stock ends on the axle side, 3mm on the chassis side.
