OUT OF THE QUESTION!

Let's get one thing straight, this is a Kershaw Design chassis. Not a MC chassis. No matter what I did to it to make it better for my truck, it is still a Kershaw chassis. I didn't think of anything new, I took Dan's idea and design and made it better.... Well I think I did anyway. But the design and ideas that make this chassis have not changed, it is Dan's design and ideas, not mine.

If I put together the time I spent just making the chassis braces and bottom plate, I would say I spent a full working day on them. And I didn't make the top plate which would be the longest and hardest to fabricate. This would take a lot of time not to mention the cost of the materials needed. In order to sell a chassis at a reasonable price that no one would bitch about, I would be left with a net profit of maybe $25/$30 for a full days work. I ask you, would you be willing to work for $30 a day? Nah! Not gonna happen sorry.

I said before that the chassis was overpriced, well after doing what I did and thinking about how much time and money was involved, I think that Dan is reasonable about the price. And I seriously think he does it for a very small profit for himself. I like his design, it's simple, elegant and it works. But I still think that the chassis braces should be stronger. And that he should buy a new counter sinking bit.

A little 5S fun in the snow.

- Bashing through the snow
- With a brushless ERevo

I ran until my fingers couldn't take the cold anymore. And Traxxas plastic doesn't like the cold. I cracked a front bulkhead. It's fun to bash in the snow but it freaked me out to see the truck when I took the body off. Especially since I didn't do anything to water proof. I should at least use some love balloons over the lipos.
