Also, I've seen bodies that cover the entire chassis, like this: http://rc-racing.no/images/detailed_...3bf8a18fff.jpg Is it a specific body that's like that, or a specific undertray? I also noticed your undertray is different than this: http://rc-racing.no/images/detailed_...0Undertray.jpg Also, very nice job on this. Looks very good. |

I'll be swaping it around so its rite. Quote:
The chassis is just as straight as the day I cut it out from checking with a straight edge. Even the shelf behind it has a bent look to it lol. After testing I had done with the first chassis I had cut out, I don't think additional bracing is needed. I propped it up on each end and bounced on one foot on the center of first failed chassis and it hardly even flexed with my 210lbs bouncing on it on one foot putting full weight + on it |
OK today I got off my duff and got to it, for a little while lol
Got the battery trays / chassis bracing in place, Lowered the roll cage and moved it back just a little and flipped around the chassis skid / side panel mounts so its in the rite direction. This sure changed its looks. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3014.jpg Still need to cut slots for battery straps and make some stops so packs cant move around, then pad everything a pack can touch. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3015.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3016.jpg 3s packs will fit great and when its done will be well protected. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3017.jpg I think it makes it look much better without the big empty space that was there before.\ http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3019.jpg I think its becoming quite a rig, just need to get that center shaft made and it should be in OMG status. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3021.jpg |
Looks great with the body!!
I may have missed it, but what's your plan for the front dog bone? |

I'm so happy I did, I don't miss the muggy one bit :mdr: |
Tonight I got the rest of the battery trays finished, all that is left to do is pad them, cut slots for straps, and get straps lol

Well figured I'd put a little time in it after work today, got the front shocks rebuilt with the shorter Muggy shafts.
Then put on the Muggy shock tower. Front shocks have a nice angle to them now. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3056.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3055.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3066.jpg Also don't know if anyone had noticed but I had done the rear shock swap so it would look more buggy like. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3058.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3059.jpg I must say I am really enjoying this build. |

Battery boxes all padded. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3186.jpg Moved esc and receiver to their new homes. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3185.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3184.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3181.jpg http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSCF3177.jpg Much cleaner look I think. |
