Looking from the top, it doesn't look square at all. The cross-thing is off center, the singer is on the left, & the shock mounts all look like they're off. IDK, just looks that way.

It does look a little off square in the pics. The shock mounts are alligned with each other. When I took the pics the skid had a little lift on one side. When it's mounted on the axles it looks straight. I built it around the tranny and axles to make sure everything worked. when it's mounted to the axels and everything is on and if it it doesn't look right I'll make him another one and let him have this. I think in the end this will perform well. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll be sure to double check everything. Last edited by Double J; 11-27-2006 at 03:48 PM. |

You know, I didnt even notice that at first. It may be the picture, every other angle of the picture makes something else look off square. To be honest, I'm not concerned if the cross is dead center. As long as it drives straight, looks good, and preforms well I'm good to go.

No, what would be the point? It is a tube chassis.

The coater said it would be ready on Wednesday. Stopped by to pick it up and it wasn't done yet. He told me it'd be done today. I'll give you and update and pics if I'm ablet ot get it. Oh and I looked at the chassis and it looks straight, not perfect straight but straight none the less. The coater agreed with me, as I had to get a second opinion. |

I personally dont mind if one X is 1/4 inch off, The main part of the chassis is straight and thats what matters to me. Its far better than I could have done myself, just ask TwistedCreations. Don't forget to send my axles with it or I wont be able to run it. I still need to pick up a second, then third TLT, but first I have some bills to pay. |

The axles will be in there. I stoped by the coaters today and he had them ready to shoot, but I couldn't hang around till they were done. I will get them in the morning and will have pics by noon (ish). I told you when he says Wednesday it's usually a day or two later. |

It's back from the coaters. I'll take some better pics tonight with the tranny and plates on it. The color chose really complements the chassis, in my opinion.     |

The "Hammer" coatings are stronger than the "normal" out door coatings. I'll let XJ do the Coating test when he get's it all togeather next week. |

SCHWEET, it comes with the links too? I'll get some video of it for sure. You have to pardon my driving ability. My motto - When in doubt, throttle out.

OK I just weighted it with the tranny and a Lathe hooked up. It Came In At A Whopping... 23.40 OZ. And I'd say that at least 90% is the tranny and motor. Oh the battery. Hold on OK it weights 3.80 OZ. |
