Very nice build!!!! I'm looking at doing the same thing with my Blackfoot body. Stretching it out that far, did you have to fab up custom drive shafts? I'm trying to figure out what I will I have to do for my driveshafts stretching the WB to 9.5". Thanks for posting this up!!! |

Another question... Is that a bolt-on servo mount, or is that something you fabricated? More pics of that, please!!! One thing throws me off about the build... the tires... Still schweet! |

Yes something I made I will take a pic for you. Also I have tires for it waiting for a set of wheel I got from the for sale section hard to find small 1.9 tires. Last edited by Black Venom; 02-21-2011 at 07:03 PM. |

I like the chassis but it comes with nothing you have to figure out everything when building one. I do get more flex with the shocks on the inside of the frame. Here is a pic with different tires on it |

| How are the shock tops mounted? Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am also interested in how you mounted those shocks. The 'shock hoop' holes are drilled to allow for 3mm screws to slip through, but the balls that the top to the shocks snap into has a 2mm (I think) shaft. How did you get the tops of the shocks mounted on that chassis?
