| dieselfuel's blackjack... the next evolution of blacksmoke.
this is a new chassis that a couple of us here in vegas have been working on. we're calling it the blackjack, the goal was to make it low profile and still have a great breakover angle... so far its working pretty well, theyre very stable and climb very well also. the top of the chassis sits just barely above the top of the tires and the bottom still has great clearance. the r2 with the revolver fit perfectly in there look at pic #2. just poser shots for now i cant get the action shots to resize... specs... sincityrcrc "blackjack" 2.2 chassis rc4wd R2 transmission maxx shafts locked and loaded TLT axles OG revolver/quark33 brushless novak XXtra reciever erickson straight 6 beadlock wheels moab/masher hybrids traxxas aluminum body rustler front shocks internal springs from a hardware store here in vegas team associated external springs memory foams stick on lead wheel weight ground clearance - 3 1/16" wheelbase - 12 7/16" top of chassis - 4 7/8" track width - 10 1/4" Last edited by dieselfuel; 08-18-2007 at 03:04 PM. |

cc405, thanks man, im trying to get used to driving it. its much more stable and predictable than what im used to run. lowed center of gravity and less articulation are working out well for me. naz-t, thanks again man, its inspired by a few of the chassis that rizzo and i have run and seen run well in the past. | |
