You mean RBX chassis?

Looks great, I can see alot of body trimming in your future.

Yea, RBX, corrected. I don't know about the trimming, maybe. I've done quite a bit of testing with it and so far it seems good, we'll see though.

I don't see how that is possible unless you have limited your articulation. Every comp based TLT I have seen pushes the 70% body rule.

Yep, More testing will tell, I did trim the back quite a bit already though.

I would say no. If you had some of the rear left then I think you would have 70%.

I have figured out a good way to figure out the 70% rule. By weight. I weighed my bodies on a postal scale before and after trimming. Is that fair?
