These gives 75% of the info required.



The remaining 25% is how the servo bolts down on the gearbox side.
This is very clever and neat.

Keep up the good work.

The gearbox side is mainly what we are trying to figure out. I guess I should have specified that. I can see the mount he made at the links which is very close to the mounts I made for my links, mine are delrin and made for clocked axles though.

Some speculation.
That side of the gearbox have plenty of meat.
A small angle cleat might be used and screwed onto the side of box with counter sink screws. Quite a bit of trail fits might be required to get it right.

It's a good idea installing the servo this way.

Well done.

I think it is too and my friend really does. He has asked me everytime he has seen me about it for over a month. The angle isn't a bad idea. I am gonna start playing with it in the next week or so and see what I can figure out on it on mine. I gotta get new tubes for the front anyway so if I butcher them trying to make something it won't be so bad.

Hey looking good! Sorry I have not posted I have been off line for a while.


Boy looks like you have plenty of clearance.

On the steering I have changed to in front steering. Just felt like BTA steering link was catching on too many things. And it was tough to mount the servo. I will see if I can drum up some pictures. Maybe some more recent ones.

That pic was when it was sitting at 4" clearance in the center. I have it down to about 3.5" now. I also made some custom link and shock mounts which seemed to help make everything sit right plus I didn't like the way the mounts were on the front after I clocked the axles. I will try to put another pic or 2 on here of it later the way it sits now. I am pretty happy with it right now just gonna do a little more playing with the links.

Hey guy's,
This is a great build thread, and I'm real interested in this chassis.
I'm busy looking around for options to build my first 2.2comp rig and I have to say this chassis caught my eye.
I looked in the vendors section, unless I'm missing it, I don't see a listing for it.
How do I get some more info about this chassis and also a price and availability?

Thanx for any help and P.S Great work Holycaveman

Not sure what's up with HCM, his profile says he has not been on RCC in over a month.
