Default Vertical Smile-- Tlt

OK I don't have to many builds and felt that I was over due. Although I need to up date a couple of others.

This is what I have so far.

Vertical Smile Chassis of course, because there is no substitute for greatness.
2.2 pede rims
Moabs
Stealth Tranny
electrics??

The start..

Just made the servo/upper link mount and 4 of the 8 4 links.
Crappy picture but I think you can make out what it looks like.

Have to lock the Diffs. with 2 part epoxy. I have another set to lock as well. So might as well do them all at once.

Running maxx shafts? If so, this is what I did...

Take one of these:

Cut it to length to fit inside the drive cup, drill and tap it and stick a pin in it. (kinda screws your driveline angle, but allows for larger spur gears).

My first design was a machined one of these:

with the hole made large enough to slip over the Stealth drive cup with the pin through it. Worked well, but only allowed for about an 84t spur. I wanted more gearing options without the GD-600. Click the image to open in full size.

just my .02

Looks like you're off to a good start. You'll be surprised how much interest this will generate in your chassis, too. So spend a few bucks and make it pimptastic!

I just had to pay to get the 2nd run of VS plates so I won't be able to spend the extra money I wanted to, to make it PIMPTASTIC. :(
