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 Last edited by ZoSo; 01-31-2012 at 01:26 AM. |

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 |
