Good luck with the Plexiglas, I've built a few and there a huge let down. You better brace it like HELL!!!.

I now stay away from building things that need to be relatively strong with the word "GLASS" in it.

I would suggest you use some lexan.

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 10:20 AM

well it is 7/8 inch thick plexi
and i dont think it is going to need anymore braning than what it has i have to add maby one more an thats it

There's no way that's 7/8 thick, It looks more like 1/4". It WILL BRAKE!!

Also why is the tranny mounted so high up?.

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 02:12 PM

becasue idk its they way i mounted it its not a comp rig by anymeans

so i really dont care about cog
and i went and tested the chassie today on some rock i just let the chassie fall down nothing but some scratches came froma 5 foot fall to a cement sidewalk i dont think it is going to break

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 03:17 PM

its almost a rolling chassie and its going to sit right at 16 inches i think

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 03:58 PM

ok its almost done all it needs is frunt drive line and a way to mount the body and a charged batt its sitting at 16.6 inches and i love it now to the pics

now artic shot i know someone is bound to ask its kinda forced that high but all three tires still touching

and a flat pic you can see the driveline hanging in the frunt lol

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 04:42 PM

here is a quick body just siting on it cole hope you like the chassie is really strong and i dont think it is going to break

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 07:23 PM

haha its alive it moves and it dose better than i expected i need to get a smaller pinion and im ready to go do anything anybody want to give me a 48 pitch 12 tooth pinion

anyway the body is mounted on the side by body post and yp frunt i is mounted by vecro but it might change i dont know

edit: their is no torque twist at all and the ds angle is high but it all works ok

Cole82 · 04-14-2006, 08:46 PM

Looks Good Man
As long as it holds up it should work great. I like the body with those red rocks.

TMXONR · 04-14-2006, 08:50 PM

That looks nice, quick build too.

smokinubyrc · 04-14-2006, 08:52 PM
