This is the second chassis that I made the first was more of a prototype. the best way that I have found to mount the shocks is to do it like they do on the big trucks and make a hoop with some brass plate in between and mount the shocks to that. im waiting till I get the suspention links mounted to mount the shocks and I cant dop that till my carbon fiber gets here.

its 11 " long from tip to tip and it will have a 9 inch wheel base ive mocked everything up and besides the wheels and tires it looks sick. very scale looking. i should be getting 4 sq. ft of blue carbon fiber in a week to make the body pannles . thats the part I cant wait for. if you go here and look at there "rock rods" its sort of modeled after there "Big sexy" rock crawler. http://www.spydercustoms.com/index2.php Last edited by mrrc; 02-28-2005 at 09:06 PM. |

I like it, but I am worried about your tranny hanging down there. Also, where does the battery go? I really need to assemble my venom. I only started working on it back in january... I really need to put it back to stock is what I need. |

Other than the gearbox hanging down that far it looks awesome man! But, you might not have any problems with the gearbox position...
