The screws that hold the tranny plate in also hold the lower links.

I wondered that too, but I think they mount to the holes for the skid plate.

You won't have to worry about that. I'm hard at work staring at it every time I enter the garage.

Well between my 1:1 tuber, an exo for a customer, and my wife spending more money than what we have, I won't have much time or money to work on it. But I just got a brand new TLT in box so I'll have to start some time. This will probably be a scale replica of my tuber, but we'll see. Your chassis looks heavy, pretty bash worthy. I'll be interested in seeing it in action in a couple years.

Actually it is extremely light. It weighs in at a little over 6.0 ounces.

I say, if you were to setup the lower link going to where the lowest screw is (the one that goes into the skid), that you will practically have a flat belly and no hang up. I think everyone is getting pissy because no one can keep up with all the new chassis' that are coming out.

Well, isn't that kind of heavy. I mean my chassis for my clod, once complete weighed in at 8.5 oz. And by no means do I mean the chassis being heavy is a bad thing. It can be a really good thing. You can really hammer on it and not worry about it at all. What thickness material is the chassis build out of?
