O.K.. Here we go with more info. Keep in mind this is all being handcut at the moment, final pieces will be CNC'd. I simply enjoy making it by hand first rather then spending the day on the computer

Height comes in alittle under 1 3/4"

The Skid will allow you to move your links to there outermost location, or all the way in, or mid way. Spacers will be provided for all 3 positions. This way the user can tune there MRC adjusting articulation and triangulation for there particular setup.

3mm Hardware will be used as this seems to be the most popular and easiest to get a hold of.

I hope to have it ready for a comp thursday. Depending upon weather I will also get video.

How much narrower than stock is your tranny plate?

Xtant3150c · 04-08-2009, 12:10 AM

Looking Very

Shadill · 04-08-2009, 12:15 AM

Will it need any bracing up top? Would be nice if you could sell a link kit with ends for the chassis, I know your trying to keep the cost down but I would definatly pay extra for pre-made links

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

I want talking about the links ,but that will work, the losi ball ends suck,way to much play,but I was talking about the center diff case,the only I love about the stock one is the location recesses,that helps take the load off the screws that hold the center assm to the skid.

Chassis braces will be included as well as links

JatoTheRipper · 04-08-2009, 03:20 PM

How wide is this skidplate? Can you do the quarter on top photo?

RcBro · 04-08-2009, 06:35 PM

1.5" wide

rccrawlerguy · 04-08-2009, 08:06 PM

i think you should include lower bent links or a separate version with lower bent links for more money, at least lowers for the rear

.

RcBro · 04-08-2009, 11:02 PM

Maybe at a later date yes, but right now my bent links are made by hand. If I can speed up the process then yes.

Got it all mounted up and ready to rip. One asked for a comparison next to a quarter. Here ya go!

revengefab · 04-08-2009, 11:12 PM

you bringing it to the comp tomorrow or just your 2.2?

Shadill · 04-08-2009, 11:35 PM

Any torque twist issues?

RcBro · 04-09-2009, 08:54 AM

Yes I'll be bringing it tonight.

No torque twist

Thanks!

That's a cool looking rig. How about some body-off shots? I know I'm a PITA!

amorton94 · 04-09-2009, 06:17 PM

I love this chassis! This will be the first and only chassis I get for my MRC! And unlike your other chassis, it looks nothing like stock

. But I really like this chassis and all the optional setups you can run on it. Can't wait for it to come out, so I can buy it!

rccrawlerguy · 04-12-2009, 01:09 PM

my lhs just got in an dark soul chassis if this one is a lot cheper im goiing for it...hope the lhs dont get mad at me for ordering up tires i not gong 2 get and the dark soul chasiies.oh well

TImmy6216 · 04-12-2009, 01:16 PM

yea i want one. when can we buy em?

soundcolor · 04-12-2009, 09:23 PM

I have perused this whole thread and scoured every pic trying to find something I could tell you to fix, or tweak, but alas its pretty damn good! congrats bro, but I do have acouple of questions

1st. How much...
2nd. with those links, what is the angle of the drive-shaft, did you keep the axles with a slight upward cant as stock, or did you give it more or less? (hope i'm being clear with my question)
3rd. Are your links adjustable for length?
4th. Are there any clearance issues with any of the shock mounts... looks to me from the pictures that if you moved the shock inward, that the top of the shock would contact the chassis
5th. HOW FREAKIN MUCH...

Seriously bro, you do some outstanding work. If the price is right, I would love to order one from ya
