Awsome heres and idea ! Go to the hardware store and buy some L brackets and a small piece of plexie glass mount the l brackets where u have the ball joints and cut a piece of plexie and screw it to the l braxkets for you radio tray. And try to leave the tirods there to stiffen the chassis

Yea a few brands make aluminum but we had the graphite in stock, plus I wanted light wieght and cheap, lol. the only holes I had to drill was the 1 hole per plate, the center bottom hole were the chassis support is. and if you look at the second pic I have marked were Im gonna dremel the chassis for a stock pack.

Wow cool method using the shock towers. I have a few of those at the LHS I work at, may have to build another Clod. Used to have one a long time ago but Im gaining interest now again thanks in part to your inventive chassis. Great work!

| Update 8/10/05
Finally I got a day off that I have nothing planed to do!!! wierd huh? Anyway, got the Lathe motors mounted with 13 tooth traxxas pinions for now, biult the Wire Harness out of 14 guage Novak "superflex" wire, got it all soldered on, got the front and rear steering done with a Hobbico CS-70 front servo and a Traxxas 2018 rear for now, and a Traxxas TQ3 radio that Im gonna modify for the rear steering. also I found out that GS Racing 5.8mm ballstuds fit Traxxas rodends, so Im gonna replace the top (already done the bottum) so I can get the axles off the truck easily if I need to fix something... anyway here are some pics... Overall Top View:  GS ballstuds on Bottom:  Front Steering setup:  Center chassis shot:  Let me know what yall think... Later Jake |
