I wanna be Dave
As most of you who have been around a while know, I worked with H3RESQ a few years back on a production version of his Mantis chassis design - half torsion/half 4 link chassis setup. Well, being that I like to explore different concepts, especially those outside of the norm, I've made some ground on an all new Mantis that I've redesigned from the ground up, while still based on the original concept.
Anyway, more details will follow but here's a few pics of the first semi-close prototype :mrgreen:
This new version is very light weight and eliminates the axle wrap found in the old production Mantis. It also uses equal length front upper/lower links standard.
I'll post pics of it "Dubbed" with the new XR-M bodiless top this weekend if time allows.
