Zippy Basher's Rides

[lincpimp]

Al is very easy to thread. I do alot of mine with just a screwdrive style tap holder and a steady hand. M3 and m4 threads usually do not even require any cutting oil. Just go slow, and when you feel some resistance turn the tab backwards 1/8 of a turn or so.

Best method I found to getting holes tapped perfect was to chuck the tap into the drill press and just turn it by hand while advancing it with light pressure on the press handle.

So I am sitting & looking at the Excess 1/4" 6061, I have here and I thinking I can make an easy extended Rustler Chassis. I already have the FLM "Extended chasssis" But it only pushes the wheelbase to 12.5" ( 1 inch extension) and that thing is still just a wheely king.

I have just enough to make a simple chassis that will stretch the WB of the Rustler to about 16 inches even. I am thinking about trying out a "Mini Baja" type vehicle. Instead of a body maybe make a roll cage out of some Nylon rods or something.

Anyone ever seen a Rustler with an extreme WB like that ? I would love to take a look...

Thanks, Sean.
