trying a torsion chassis

[prusik333]

Radio: DX3R
Receiver: SR3100 DSM2 3CH
chassis: JP Havoc
shocks: Axial alumin.
wheels: Mayhem spiders w/ HB rovers (whites)
Servo: Jr8711
Motors: two- 45t CKRC Twisters
Motor pinions: (F/R) 13-tooth/12-tooth
ESC: FXR
BEC: Castle
Dig: Punk Dig RC switch
Battery: 3s Lipo 1500
Body: Grappler body
other mods: Lightweight gear housing F/R & rear axle is lightweight





















With everything ballooned up, kinda looks messy, but it sits on its side plus some, plus you gota protect your elec.
I plan on getting a new body, this one is beat up pretty good.
Let me know what you think, its my first try at a torsion chassis....so far i'm liking it alot

Looks good....

Move your Rear upper links at the chassis up one or two rows.
Why such big Spacers on the front torsion links?

How much weight do you have in the wheels, if any?

I will move them up, I just thought i read on here to keep both upper links parallel.
the reason for the big spacers on the front is the servo. i try to mount it closer but it was leaning on the servo alot. Should i try and get them a little closer? even though it rubs on the servo. I do plan to go with a servo plate to mount the servo vertical, that should bring them in alot closer.
tnx for the tips

Edit: nevermind R2J, I just found this

3 1/2 oz. in each front & none in the rear......& yes she's heavy. I did try and run without but every time i tryed to climb a steep hill my front wouldn't stay planted :/
