New Savage project - stretched tvps!

[lincpimp]

I used 6061 sheet al that i got off ebay. About the same thickness as the stock tvps. 3mm? I figured that i would have plenty of cross braces and a solid battery platform up front so the tvp thickness did not worry me. I also planned to make a complete skid plate too.

I will be finishing this, as soon as the longer chassis savage gets finished, as most of the left over parts will go back on this one. I also plan to make a budget savage out of the various other parts I have laying around, should be fun!!!

As far as completion goes, I just need to cut out the tranny hole on one side and I am done. I will make a battery tray and skid plate when I get it assembled again. Should be soon. I plan to use the battery tray to tie the top of the steering posts to the tvps, kinds like the stock radio tray. The battery will sit high, but this is a monster truck and they are a bit top heavy. Not sure of the power source anymore, as I stole the 2200 flux motor for the 1/7 scale on road car. I do have a neu 1521 1y and a CC1520 1y. Either would be great on 6s lipo, so it does not really matter. One will go in my lst and the other can go in this truck.

Suddenly wishing I had not sold the various MMM that I had. Oh well, I can always buy more!
