Default Shorty Chassis

Has anyone yet to figure how to get a Shorty Chassis up and running???

People say its a lay-down tranny design, and I wouldn't know how to mount it like that, maybe a bottom skid plate?? I'm hoping thats not the case, cus then I would have to wait till school to make one...

Well, has anyone succeeded with running a Shorty?? If not, I'll have to be the first...

I told you that this was one of the first chassys and that you would need to do some fab work to make everything fit right and you said that you didnt have a problem doing that.I will pm you to tell you again how to make it fit.I mean this was basicaly a scrap chassy and I told you that but you wanted a chassy CHEAP and you got it.Now go do some fab work.

Looks like I'm buying a new Pede Tranny housing... $10 from LHS I hope.

How am I going to mount the body?? I might have the answer to that on my RC 10!!

lololol Tower has BOTH the plates I NEED for only $7... If my LHS has it for more, then I'm gonna give him a card that has "www.towerhobbies.com" on it, so they can start getting more of a profit... my lathe cost me $20!!!! thats kinda high...

^^^^
I drive, just not by myself, but you guys can look for me this December or somethin... Maybe some time after Christmas when I might get something big to play with

I'm thinking:
Make my rig work with the shorty chassis.
Make all my stuff Bomb-proof.
and sell it to somebody on Ebay for like.... $350 or so...

That way I can get an E-Maxx and start making a frame for it...
Whatever I may be crawling, I'll make it to some big events, hell, maybe High Rocks on a Saturday, and Spring Park on a Sunday! hmm

EDIT: are those MOABS I see on that thing??
Err... I'm out!
