2.1.3 - Bodiless vehicles: Must be a self-supporting, structurally complete, rigid frame. The roof must be raised a minimum of 1” from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit. The frame sides must be an overall minimum of 1” tall (The cockpit & frame side are to be measured vertically from where the hood intersects the cab). Bodiless vehicles should resemble a 1:1 vehicle. 2.1.3.1 - Bodiless vehicles must have solid hood panel, solid roof panel and a minimum of 2 solid side-panels. Hood, roof and side panels must be separate pieces of solid material installed onto the bodiless vehicle frame. All body panels are to be separate pieces from the complete structural frame. Body panels must be solidly installed in a manner that is representative of a 1:1 vehicle. It is required that at least one point of the side-panel must reach to a span of 1” tall or more & at least one other point of the side-panel must reach to a span of 2.5” long or more. In the case of a Unibody vehicle (See sec. 2.1.3.2 for Unibody definition). The Unibody is considered to have all body panels needed without having to add separate body panels as long as the hood, roof & side panel areas meet all the general panel & side-panel size requirements above. 2.1.3.2 - Unibody – Constructed of a single piece of solid material (fiberglass, aluminum, plastic, etc) and must be self supporting. A Unibody cannot be fastened together in any nonpermanent way such as, nuts & bolts, pins, rivets, zip ties, etc. The roof must be raised from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit and should resemble a 1:1 vehicle. 2.1.3.4 - 2.2 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 8” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height. here yea go |

You also need to make sure the chassis fits this rule 2.1.3.4 - 2.2 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 8” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height. |

| I think it looks awesome! Just make sure that you fit the requirements and have a blast. I love homebrew stuff, just wish I had the equipment/funds to do that sort of thing. Looks sweet!

your best bet on the links is to get some 6-32 all thread and some 3/16 brake line. Now because the the skid mount area is longer than the stock ax10 you will need to get rid of the upper y link as when you put the shorter custom lower links on, you pinion angle will be very bad. In other words to get it to that comp legal limit of 12.5 inches you will need to do a full custom 4 link setup on front and rear. The only real major investment is this is getting some 4 link servo plates for the front and rear(unless you can make your own) and 8 3mm rod ends. also is there any way you can incorporate a skid plate at the bottom of the chassis. It would sure help out alot as you wont get caught up on those lower rods in the frame. That frame looks awsome and looks like it could take a heck of a beating |
