Default Musk-rat's 1.9 Build

Finally got a change to start on my 1.9 build. This was the basic set-up I had for tri-state crawlers spec class, but was not happy with it and we are going to run 1.9 ruels anyways.




So I decided to start from scratch with two MRC side plates and a axial tranny. Before anyone says it, the dig will be gone on the completed truck.

Tranny plate just big enough for the axial


And in almost completed rolling form. Hope to get more completed tonight

Right now I am not planning on it, but there is still time to change my mind

It is about 7.90 inches. I need to read the 1.9 rules to see if it says what the gate markers will be set at.

Flex shot. I can get about 3 inches of flex with the front and rear springs both compressed all the way. I have no comparison, but that seems decent for a 8.5 inch wb. What is everyone else getting?



Hopefully there will some boxes waiting for me when I get home

Nice. How did you get that width without narrowing the axles? I have been looking for a wheel tire combo to pull that off. What are yours?

Thanks

Thanks. The wheels that I am using are HPI Stock Car

with traxxas drive hex
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJH98

The tires on there right now are the 1.9 Tomahawks, but I will be switching to 1.9 Losi for testing, once the 1.9 Flat Irons come out I plan to go to them.

Other than that wheel combo, I have done nothing special
