BWD's New MRC Bomb Proof Shock/Lower Link Axle Mounts
 

Just a lil something I've been working on to beef up my MRC axles...so I thought I'd share what I came up with.

These are machined from 1/4" delrin and should come in two versions. One for the alum C's/Lockouts, the other for the stock C's/Lockouts. They are a press fit and locate on the top and bottom C/Lockout screws. I'm waiting on my proper hardware to arrive so I can ditch the capped head screws. They are drilled for 2mm through but have enough beef/room to allow for 3mm hardware and Pede rod ends on the lower links...no more tiny rod ends for me :mrgreen:

Coming soon for those who may want some.

these look bad ass. do you lose alot of ground clearance? what are they gonna run? will they come in pair or a full set of 4? put me onthe list for some of these

Looks good. How about a few more pics of that chassis?!

Thanks. You'll lose .1" right under where the C bolts do the axle on the alum C's/lockouts, and .08" at that point on the stock plastic C's/Lockouts. I'll try to dig up some front/rear shots to show the GC. Very little loss for what is gained in strength.

Thanks, which chassis is that? :roll: This one? It's just a lil somethin I've been toying with...a new "Low Profile" series of chassis kits...I'll post it up with the cab installed in a new build thread soon :mrgreen:

truck looks good don,real good"thumbsup"

Dude'ola- That chassis looks a little captain kick a%%. I guess the only questions I got before I scrounge up some chaching is is it legal? If I know you Don, and I think I do, you would not produce something unless it was legal but just checking?

Also shifting gears a bit, those side pics really do show how well your wheels really fill out the 1.9 rovers. They look a lot "puffier" than on wider wheels.

Ok, Hang on, One more questions. What shocks are those? They look a bit like traxxas 1/16th scale shocks.

That's just the chassis in the pics above, the near weightless cab will be posted in another thread. It is plenty legal per the current rules. It's my personal comp rig for the new season. The shocks are the 1/16" traxxas shocks.

I hope you plan to bring your new mini with you to the gtg,I cant wait to see it,and drive it.I had absolutly no plans to build a new truck this season,now I dont think I can wait to get started.

that mini rig is SICK!!! and imma need to get some of those shock mounts ASAP??? lookin good"thumbsup"

omg do want everything!!!

If you get these, when you take your axle apart, please, do the rest of us a favor and fix that rear ring gear. The incessant clicking has given me a headache at the last few comps. :ror: :flipoff: ;-)

Are there multiple holes to mount through for those of us who have clocked our C's? Otherwise, the mount would tip back and hang really low and throw the geometry off. I know we can re-drill them, just thought it would be a nice touch if they came for either way.
And that low profile chassis/cab is downright sexy!!!
I haven't even finished my Wedge and Dub topper I just bought from you, and now I think I'm going to have to build another rig!

just when I thought I was done with my 1.9 and happy with it, you make more stuff!!???:x


i'm in! thanks for the chance :twisted:

looks like you are going delrin with possibly the geometry used from the mini slingshot chassis??

I read pappabash's thread about beafy rod ends for the mrc...ask and you shall receive!! I'll be lookin for a 4 pack of these."thumbsup"

It'll never work.:ror:

can you make some of those with a flat spot and 2 holes up top to use leafs?

either way i need at least 2 sets, paypal waiting.

Great new additions for the MRC. I'm in for a set.
Love the look of the lo-pro chassis but where do the electronics fit!?
Is the aluminium servo plate going to be available as a stand alone?
Thanks for your continued investment and innovation in this class "thumbsup"

add me to the list for a full set front and back. lemme know how much and where to send money to.

thanks
