Very nice design.... im also using a vertical steering servo so i can mount a bulk pack on the front, works incredibly well!
 
Went down to the laser shop today and picked up some goodies:lol::lol::lol::lol:.
Now I just need to go pickup the skids later this week.

Looks great, you will be using bent uppers to clear the shocks how about the bottom? Will the delrin slide easy enough that bent lowers wont help to much?

yea bent uppers to clear the shocks.

I dont know if im going to run the delrin links I made today. I might run some 5/16 aluminum bent links:lol:
 
Why don't you run your upper links on the inside of the chassis :shock:

Because the upper links wont be perfectly straight.

If I move them inside the chassis they will be .053 ^ off on the on the axle side. and if I move the links on the link plate in to the very inside holes they will be off .161 V chassis side.


and its not very hard to make bent links:lol:

You lost me...What are you talking about??
I always run all my links on the inside of the chassis....much better (imo).
I've never understood why anyone would run the uppers (or lowers) on the outside of the chassis.?...
Can you please explain:?: Thanks:)

Btw your chassis is absolutely beautiful, nice work as usual"thumbsup"

It has to do with keeping the upper links parralel when viewed from the top, which affects the way the axle cycles....different strokes for different folks;-)
