Homemade chassis and links,super rooster,integy lathes, clod mod motor mounts, 9t pinions, locked gearboxes with full bearings, behind the axle steering, 4 inch powerline threaded alu. shocks and 3/4 inch wheel wideners. hobbico high torque metal gear bb servo. 16.5 inch wheel base.

what do you think??

have you had any problems with hitting your links? if u are, someone gave me advice which helped my clearance alot ....if you move your link to the top of the C hub you will gain like 1 inch clearance without losing your wheelbase

looks awsome by the way

the cog looks very low. can you stand it up on its side without it falling over?

would love to see a side view, full horrizontal shot and not angled like you did with pic (4.JPG). whats going on with the battery placement?

if you cut the wheels, i bet you wouldnt need wideners ... well maybe 1/4 inch would be enough.

i really love the low profile on that truck ... im also trying to do the same on mine, except im looking for a way of not cutting the lexan drastically.

i spent a long time playing w/ diffrent link and shock mount locations. this setup seems to work the best for this chassis.

yes i can stand it on its side without falling over.


i will try to get somemore pics tonight (my wife has the digi cam out w/ her)

thanks for all the replys glad you liked it!!

I was going to strap the battery under the chassis, but to get it running i rubberbanded it to the front lower links. it worked out well so i left it . I think it also helps w/ traction haveing the weight on the front wheels.
