Extended wheelbase GTP2 - 01.12.2013, 07:52 PM

After being a little disappointed in the over all look of my OFNA GTP2 for a length to with perspective, I decided to take the scale out to a 1/7th scale wheel base. Basing my measurements on the Traxxas X0-1, I fabbed up a carbon fiber extension plate to move the rear section of the car back nearly 3 inches. The wheelbase is now exactly 15.9 inches from center front to center rear and the perfect length to fit the X0-1 body. Just as with the rest of the chassis, the extension plate and the top plate is 4.4mm carbon fiber.

After getting it all back together the fit and finish could not be better. After a few tweaks to the GTP mounting posts, the body went on without a hitch and the road test was a success. The first of two projects down, one to go.
