That looks great B!

I will send you a file for the stock Axial chassis, you should draw up how you cut it and have it CNC'd

OR I know this guy that can cut CF too

Really that thing looks sweet as hell. I always love to see 3 link suspensions. You should see the panhard mounts that Dinky has

If you want, draw that thing up.....or send it to Harley if you don't know how....JUST kidding.
Send me the file and I will cut it out of CF or Aluminum. Of course I will have to cut an extra for myself

Sweet! I should do that. I am not used to being all fancy on my builds and having everything machined like you do.

I love the 3 link as well, however the front is turning out to be a real PITA. I had no steering with the shocks on the outside of the chassis so I had to move them inside the plates. On top of that the servo is there so it leaves no room for the panhard to function correctly

I will get it figured out, just more work than I wanted. I cant go 4 link with the chassis because the motor side doesnt have any material for the upper links

Few more updates. I got it running tonight. All thats left to do is get a decent battery to power this thing. And find a place to put it

I have a feeling I will probably switch to smaller tires but I am going to try these first. The electronics are overkill but I pulled them from another rig and it made it easy.

The TLT body ended up being perfect too!!

Lots of pics.

Looks great Brandon. You did a great job with the chassis and suspension. Articulation looks good. Curious to see how you like the panhard bar.

Good job.

Looks great! I might have to do something similar or just be like everyone else and run the little Losi. Can't wait to give it a good thrashing!

Sketch on a napkin is fine. Just don't use crayons like Harley does.
This thing is really coming together. Nice job.
