the Tazer esc was budget driven, soon i think i will upgrade to a mamba 25 and brush-less motor

I will get the CAD drawing finished and then get a quote from a CNC guy for a run of 100 plates (50 chassis), I should know more next week.

Its a Proline Bushwaker body and I found a sheet of diamond plate decal (Parma I think) for the running boards and quarter panels

-oh ya Co G is good considering verticle pede trans, it will be better with brushless though

Thats such a good idea! I want the designs, but hey this is a great way for you to make a few extra bucks. You got a good setup going! I bet you can get a lot of people to buy your chassis! I would go to comps to and try to sell them if you get um made

Good Luck! I can't wait!

Or so that doesn't happen chuck a fan on the ESC to keep it cool.


Looks like a very nice build, the chassis is really nice and I'm assuming wouldn't weigh much either being made of Carbon Fibre. That shell is ace mate, very nice details with the checker plate around the rear 3/4 panels!

Looks like it's not going to happen for the CF chassis w/ verticle tranny mount; not enough interest and price of material plus CNC work is too much to warrent production run. I do have another chassis I'm designing for a horizontal tranny mount. This one is similar to new AX10 and will be aluminum with delrin skid plate:

Ya the upper links would be short on this chassis design, thats part of the resson why I built the CF chassis the way I did in the first place. CHeck out the beadlocks i've been working on:

Ya man it crawls like a champ, especially with the body off. My speed control is a POS, it has been glitching alot lately, I really need to go brushless! I also hope to get some machine time at my work so I can build those beadlocks.
