Side plates are done, just working on how I want the skid. Trying to keep costs low but want versatility. Some of the aftermarket motors make fitment an issue. I'm want this thing to work, and work good! LOL. Soon

Here's where I'm at right now.. I've got 5 sets of side plates made. I'm trying to decide what I think will be best for the skid plate. Either run it as I've shown, cut out the center like most of my competitors, cut it similar to stock so the links mount against the skid and TVP's, or create an open rod system with spacers that allow you to move the links left to right to your preference. Is there anyone who has skid material avaialble who would like a pair of sideplates for testing? If so pm me with you information and your plans and I may send a few over. I know its taking forever, I just want to produce a product worth dominating! |

I really like the idea of the open rod system with spacers! That would eliminate and possible hang ups and still give the ability to tune your ride! Plus nobody else is doing that!!!!! way cool idea and looking forward to see the finished product! Keep up the good work!

I like the first picture of the skids design, not sure what a open rod design is ?but I picture a long shaft that you just put what spacers where you want then to move the placement of the rods between the tvps? | |

I won't be doing stock width, I simply meant mounting the links similar to stock. Width will stay the same.

I'd prefer outside between the skid and tvps as long as its narrower than stock width  Sticking with the 2mm hardware and stock rod ends on the skid side? |

skid side will be 2mm most likely.. May do 3mm if I decide to go the solid rod route with spacers.. Width is 1.5"

Yes there will be plenty left. I have some materials coming so I can test different setups.

I think I have decided to simply offer to different style skid options, 1 will be like my prototype where as the other will be open ended with spacers likes I talked about before.

Thats a great lookin chassis.  I'm going to have to get a new chassis for the mrc I picked up recently. With all the money I have sunk into my 2.2 comp rig and my scalers, I can't afford a chassis at the moment.:-(Hopefully soon.With out my old lady knowing |

Looking forward to this and the scale chassis you are working on! Picking up one of each as soon as they come out |

AAHHH Where have we been? Alot are asking that, sorry for the delay guys. My real job and family have been getting the best of me lately plus I wanted to play with my RC's rather then build. But.. Were getting closer! I think I'm going to ditch my previous skid design and go with what I have below. Spacers will be provided that will allow the user (you) to move your rod ends, inboard outboard or in between. This way you have 3 different angles to play with. Yet again more options!! Keep in mind, I did this by hand with the dremel rather then on the CNC just for mockup purposes.  Will bolt up to the rig tomorrow after work! |

This means you'll also use the 3mm rod ends which are more easily available. As much as I think the losi rod ends are sufficient not ever being able to get them due to them being back ordered is driving me nuts, so I'm going with something you and I can all get easily
