|  Losi mrc Stick (torsion) Chassis a.k.a Chassis X now with video
Just want to share my latest experimental chassis  i got inspired by cornsnake's thread, after seeing the "Poboy", i knew i had to build or make 1 like that Onto to the pics i first used a thin wire moulding for the chassis, it was a disaster, this happened after my mrc tumbled down a 6 foot ramp and landed front tire first  Then i found this scarp piece of moulding only its twice as thick  Used an exacto knife (new blade) for the holes, and dremel for the axle hole  With all the electronics mounted  front Articulation  Rear Articulation  Testing it outside the house  And Last, Full articulation   I was surprised how well it performed it's twice as fun as before thanks for reading any questions, comments, violent reactions are very welcomeProof of Concept http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...99#post2065299 Last edited by jake27; 10-25-2009 at 12:10 AM.

Interesting setup. how much does your rig weight? its got to be next to nothing. Compared to a shock and chassis setup what are your thoughts on its capability's? |

How are the drive shafts angles holing up? Meaning the u-joint.

it performs better compared to my stock chassis, it climbs steeper and sidehill better and no more links to grab the rocks and best of all no more torque twist | |

it took about an hour making it from scratch, after aligning the axles, its simply a bolt on affair | |

You might get the torque twist back if you ever put a brushless powerhouse in there. I would love to see it in action to see how it crawls. |

very nice...I checked it out. Seems like when you lift a tire it gets a little unstable. Wonder if there would be a way to correct this. Was surprised how well it did though..Good job |

Any way you could post measurements from this picture? (ie. space between the rectangle cutouts) ? Thanks |
