Custom MRC X Chassis Suggestions Please.

Havent driven her yet.. lol I think a few more tweaks and I should be good. I want to make the shock mounting holes a little smaller to much play right now.. And some how make a 4 link chassis.. but will have to design a servo mount that will allow for it..

Great work so far! One question I was wondering about is the "keyhole" shaped features on the shock arm pieces.....right next to the holes that mount it to the main body. Do they have a purpose?

The three piece design does make it different than what's out there, but are you concerned at all about the extra hardware required? It doesn't seem like a lot of extra weight, but it rides high, and the MRC is so light to start with, that even lowering the body is immediatly noticed in improving the COG. Do you have a weight of the extra hardware?

Still great stuff....I'll be checking back in as you progress.

No weight yet. Still want to tweak it a little more.
Then I can figure out what screws and spacers will be needed and from there see what the weight is.

The keyhole is is for the body post. Thinking easier then putting extra holes on your body for body mount options. You can just put the body post higher or lower on the chssis. This may also open up other body type options.

The key holes are a good idea; Losi even has them on the stock chassis.
Those four corners of the chassis might raise the COG a bit, but maybe not. I like the thinking, trying to make your chassis super adjustable.
As far as axle mounts for the linkage go, you might want to consider designing those so the linkage is adjustable on the axle side, allowing straight or "triangled" upper links.
