|  Scratch built folded chassis
Here is my latest creation I've been working on sparked by some of the designs seen on other rigs. With the tools I have in my basement and keeping simplicity in mind this is what I came up with so far...     What do you guys think? Is it worthy?   Last edited by Thirsty; 06-02-2006 at 09:36 PM. |

Thristy... Guinness... It's only 7 in the morning and it's already a lovely day for a Guinness! Cool idea. The caster in the front will really take away from the steering. Sweet tires too. |

Looks good, I like the look and simplicity of it. What are the link mounts right below the upper shock mounts? The ones that don't have anything connected in the pics. Kevin |

Great idea, very out of the box thinking, I like it. BUT here is what I really want to know, how did you make the mashers that narrow and that pattern? got any pics of how you did it? I love them! |

you might find that having the yokes not in phase will induce tons of torque twist. very nice and clean design i like it

Here is the nearly finished truck ready for the trail run today. I we go out in the rain I'll have some action pics or some video in the next few days. I will make adjustments as needed like torque twist and caster, thanks for the tips guys. On to the new photos...     Last edited by Thirsty; 06-02-2006 at 09:36 PM. |

I wanted to add some scale look to the truck and try the Proline roof rack on for size and HPI Hellfire front/Savage rear bumpers. The bumpers are quick release using body clips on the inside so I can remove them for competitions. I'll try making some items for on the rack if I have time.    |
