Remember you will need to overbend slightly as it will spring back.

oh, ok. that was my suspicion- do you think that my methods affected it?


its 3/16-pretty thick.

Well I don't think it will like the burning and rapid cooling - Lean on it and see if it breaks...

Can't wait for pics

Takedown 10.08.2008 06:51 PM

Dude yay! And yes I used 2.5539237 rolls of clear tape. Was a mofo to wrap... Anyways let me know what you think. We need for this build to get going...

brushlessboy16 10.08.2008 07:25 PM

well i like it so far, everything is good. drivetrain is bind free. suspension is smooth as a baby's butt..

Spur gear looks like it came out of my mountain bike :D

I think i am going to rework the mount you included, the holes in the chassis are already countsunk, and the holes in the mount itself are the perfect size for a 4mm tap :D

so i just have to drill some holes for my mud guards. then mount the battery tray
pics will be up shortly

trev3813 10.08.2008 08:43 PM

Awe, NO pics? You fail!

brushlessboy16 10.08.2008 08:54 PM

ill routing the rx antenna over the diff cause interference? the antenna mast is halfway down the rear chassis stiffener, and the rx is up by the front shock tower.
