|  (Shafty Slayer) Rainmaker    Teflon covered belly pan and lower links   Here you can sorta see how my custom chassis came together...    For the belly I used .031" bondable teflon film and epoxyed it on. For the lower links I used 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD PTFE teflon tubing. I got the teflon online at McMaster-Carr. Link Type "bondable teflon" and "teflon tubing" in the find box. |

Thanks I made the front servo mount out of a piece of 1/8" thick alu angle and the rear out of some 1/8" sheet alu. |

...somebody dubbed it "Rainmaker" due to the weird sound coming from the tires...  I like it!Thanks for the kind words fellas. |

Nice. What's the verdict on the teflon. Worth it? |

The teflon was a little bit pricey for what it does IMO. However, if you have a rig with a fairly large skid plate then it may be more worthwhile... It definetely protects well.
