Default Turbo-Tech..proto BODILESS

So, after the inital design of a prototype bodiless Turbo-Tech chassis... I made some revisions to fix up a couple annoying clearance issues and decised to go ahead and cut mine out. I spent a few hours at the drawing board, then using the tools at hand cut up some 2mm Titanium colored Carbon Fiber and PRESTO!!!

Looks like it may be a plug and play for the TurboTech Chassis.

I still like the looks of a body.

It is plug and play in that the same lower links can be used. The uppers would like to be a bit longer though.

I like the look of a body better as well, but I just needed a change. Figured why not give this bodiless thing a try for awhile.
