For a bit of extra clearance on your steering arms, place both your tie rod and drag link on top of the knuckle ;)

How thick is the poly chassis? I think thats what I used for my first 2.2 chassis and it was 1/8in. thick. It started spider webbing on me around each drilled hole, so I switched to aluminum.

That's pretty sweet looking. Almost looks like a show truck with all of the color coordination. Nice job.

Since it is 1/8in, it will hold up for a while. I ran mine for about 3 weeks before I noticed the spiderwebbing. Then I accidentally dropped the truck and broke an ear off the chassis where one of the shocks mount to it. If you want to, I would suggest getting a bunch of flat washers and put one on both sides of anything through a drilled hole in the chassis. I only had them on one side and I think that was what happened to mine. |

I'm doing a NN inspired chassis out of 1/4 inch Lexan, so I'll learn from you guys. Washers on both sides will be a requirement! Looks great w the "firetruck" inspired body!

thanks for all the kind words i did put washers on both sides just to be safe. this truck is more for show due to the fact that i have a real nn super comp that i will be crawling with most of the time. but this will see some action, thanks again gary.  |

Hello, Just dropping by to tell you that is one sweet truck you've built. Right now I'm in the process of building a 1/4" 30/30 acrylic body like the "Sarge" but a different design. I'm thinking about either doing Aluminum like you along the bottom or possibly Delrin. Anyway great job! |
