testing the new modifications (pics) I went down to the basement and went crawlin' today. :) Actually in the basement of a house that was burned and abandoned years ago. This was our party spot back when I was a teenager, makes a good place to play around and crawl you just have to watch out for broken beer bottles. :wink: I stretched the wheelbase out to 15.25". I love it! Gonna need to do rear steer now tho. :? I cut the chassis and fabricated a skidplate but didn't raise the transmission. I notched out the skid to fit snuggly around the bottom of the trans so I was still able to shave over 1/2" off the bottom of the chassis and keep a lower COG. I drove all over the piles of bricks and didn't get hung up on the center at all. I also cut the tires last weekend and this was the first time I really got to test them out.... I think I'll need to add foams to them, they crumple up and roll under a little too much. LST's will be here tomorrow so I may not bother with them for a while. Enough rambling, here's the pics.... http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...7_Aug18001.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...1_Aug18002.jpg I drove over this spot a few times without getting hung up. http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...3_Aug18003.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...8_Aug18006.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...7_Aug18007.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/csr/2004-0...7_Aug18004.jpg |

Re: testing the new modifications (pics) I'm impatient, how about some picture links? |
Re: testing the new modifications (pics) Very Cool! I'm putting together a TXT right now (that damn Dirk made me want one and now my Max Force is getting lonely :P ) and I like your skid idea. I'm also wanting to keep the CG as low as practical so if ya don't mind i'm going to steal your idea :idea: :D BTW, Nice rig! |
