Hey Dave - is it possible to get a special edition Progress made from CF?

I'm working on the CF Progress Pro ...I am eliminating the adjustable arms ...to save weight
also adding a little length so the Topper can just sit on top of the chassis.
here's a new design....



I'll have the Prototypes in a couple weeks...stay tuned

I have the original progress chassis that was'nt very berg frendly (for me).Will this chassis be alittle more berg freindly as in being able to use some of the delrin high clearance rear links and not interfear with the upper links.

I've given it lots of room for the links..... I'll cut a few....the chassis can be run with a body or with the optional bodyless topper
the skid plate is also interchangable with the Original Progress.
I'll post up the new parts soon

I tried the bodiless for a few months
I liked the ability to see the suspension clearly
but hated the roll over problems
Here's the latest Progress (hehe)



this is the CF prototype ...the water jet just tears the carbon fiber apart ...when cutting the small holes
I may have to drill the small holes ...to keep the water from chewing up the CF
I super glued the layers back together to give her a test drive
I definitely can't sell this mess, but I will at least get to try her out on the rocks, at the West Coast Comp this weekend.
I'm working on the new bodiless

well the blown out hole cuts, caused major problems, the upper links
pulled out twice...but I did manage to finish the last course
I liked the way the rig handled the adjustments are great
just need to spend some time on the rocks with it.
I'm cutting 1/16 aluminum for more testing
I'll keep you informed
