|  Way outside of the box comp mrc
I got sick of my mrc being on its back all of the time so I decided to build a new chassis and build a comp worthy rig. chassis, bent links, zero ackerman- behind the axle steering, and mounts are all my design. This is not a torsion rig, Yea it kicks ass! More pics to come of new steering setup        |

At least the Mantis has some sort of torsion in the rear. This just looks too stiff in the rear. Those shock/link mounts in the rear look like they would be over stressed.

Ok guys to answer a few questions: Its nothing like a mantis: It is totally rigid in the rear, and has no torsion flex~~ All articulation comes from the front: this means that there is no body roll on a climb or side hill. There is also no torque twist. I still get plenty of articulation from the front. The trans is moved an inch forward from center so It will climb steeper angles. By being rigid in the rear it does not transfer weight through body roll and torque twist when climbing off camber. Poop I guess I will learn how to post some videos of this thing, it works better than any mrc I have seen and runs the same climb and side hill angles that a 2.2 comp rig can handle  |
