Ya got a good deal on it. I have an R2-TT on the way. Just tought I would see what everyone tought about the chassis. I actually like the rear because I have a water proof box that I am going to stick my electronics in that fits perfectly in there. Will get pics and post.

Hey that looks awesome. Is it welded o brazed? You got that on ebay? Did the guy have more? How much was it? I might have to have someone get one for me.

Thats the reason I bought it is because it was different. The guy I bought it from actually bought it awhile ago but never got into the hobby. I got it for $55 plus shipping. It looks welded. There are a few spots that have some spater on it. | |

Body panel templates look cool. You'll need panels like that if you plan on competing!  Can't wait to see progress pics. |

| So now your next issue is... What color are the panels going to be? I think if they were black, it'd look pretty good. |

I think black would look good. You could try to contact the guy who makes the chassis and see if he'll sell you the carbon panels by themselves like the one's that come with the chassis' on his site. They're pre-cut and look good too. Just a thought.

Update pics. Should I keep it at 60/40? Or should I bring the back in a bit or push the front out a bit or both? The way it sits right now it is at 12.5. Any thoughts. |

Here is the progress so far. Do you guys think I should move the front axle forward a little or leave it the way it is?
