Carver's Kamikaze Kustoms ZERO MRC

[carver]

Firstoff I would like to thank Jeff at Kamikaze Kustoms for this awesome Chassis, The chassis is top notch and has many, many adjustments allowing the user to set up the rig to his personel feel.

Build specs:

Kamikaze Kustoms Zero MRC
Holmes Hobbies Mini tourque master
Tekin B1-R
Spectrum Mini Rx
Losi Aluminum goodies on the axles, Lipo and shocks
Mayhem white Delrin 7's
Losi Mini grappler
Aluminum Links for lowers
Hitec Steering servo 7795Tg

Here are some pics of the progress, Mounted these up

I also got the axles, links and shocks ready

I also got the motor mounted to the tranny and srewed to the KK skid plate.

And we got a roller!

I will have to limit the shocks internally as the GC on the belly is a bit high right now due to the Long Losi shocks. I will try and bring it down to about 2 in.

[carver]

[Nabil]

With the rear uppers mount on the top, don't you notice alot of lack of free flex?

 

[Kamikaze]

The links go underneath..........:roll:

I will have to limit the shocks internally as the GC on the belly is a bit high right now due to the Long Losi shocks. I will try and bring it down to about 2.5 in.

I think 2.5 would still be a little high.
I am only running mine at 1.75 and I could not imagine going any higher.

there is actually more free flex in the rear than there is in the front and the fronts are underneath?

The links go underneath..........:roll:

I like em were they are but if you insist..

I think 2.5 would still be a little high.

My bad, typo. It was at 2.5 and I am lowering the GC down. I will shoot for 2", The lowers seem almost parallel to the ground when at 2"

Finally got around to finishing the little thing. For an initial test I drove it around in the house on a pillow course and it was working great. A lot more capable than stock. I was amazed at ow everything went together soo smooth, Probably one of if not the eaisiest builds so far.

I mounted the Lipo on the side of the chassis and holds pretty tight! And the rig seems balanced side to side.

I also decided to us a different mounting plate than I was using before and moved the upper links underneath the mount. You can also see I trimed the body to get the Grappler nice and low how I like it.

I also Limited the shocks internally a little more to bring the belly down a little and you can see it's now a little under 2" probably around 1 7/8"

Oh and the manadatory Flex shot..

And..

Like the paint right now, or lack of it. Is that a keeper or is there more to come?

 

[carver]
