Another copy
----------------
just tried to fit a PL bulldog truggy shell on it. If i have the batteries vertical (on their side) on the wings the body will fit if i squeeze it over, so it definately wont fit if i use the flux battery boxes.
However, if i use the upright CD mount i should be able to have the flux boxes lie on their side on the upper plate. This will of course raise the COG but make the weight more towards the centreline. I think that is what i'll do. I should be getting the flux boxes tomorrow (thanks towie) and i'll see how they fit. But once again i am not gonna cut into the mock chassis until i get the CD mount let alone the CF chassis.
I think for some of the screws i will have to countersink them as to have a flat chassis.
Also i need some muggy shock towers and lower shock mounts. RCH have them listed on their website but seeing as the muggy is no longer available parts have dried up.
The only thing i am a little unsure about is the rear dogbone. I will need to find one that is the right length or get one custom made. not sure how long that is gonna take and once again i cant sort that out till i get my CD mount.
This weekend will not be a good one for me. I have my moogen but not the conversion kit, i have my XXL ready for the CD but no CD mount, and my hyper 9e that was supposed to arrive today didn't.
Just a question to anyone in brisbane -> By any chance does anyone have a router table that they are trying to sell as this may make making parts out of CF much easier.
If i can't get a router table i might just send the other bits and pieces i want made out of CF to carbonfiberaus as they have a CNC service but i reckon the price would be ridiculous.
Hey LD if this works out and works well might you try and do the smae thing. I've been thinking about it and if i can get CFA to CNC some chassis' i could sell them. This probably wouldn't work out though.
