Project Mutant Predator

I have thought about using some mud guards to widen the chassis. But then I have to drill a bunch of holes in this rare chassis. That is one thing I am trying to prevent, modification to the current chassis. By making the new upper chassis deck I can mount things the way I want them, with the current chassis deck and mudguards I still dont have good mounting areas for the Speed Control and RX. I took the "HACK" comment to heart here man. I will not hear that again lol... When it is finally "Done" the COG and ESC mounting will be ideal. Now I just need to sell some unused rigs

Anyone in to Vintage RC?? I have an old Kyosho Ultima that needs some TLC and a few parts to be complete but its mostly there. Will go to a good home for a fair price!!

I think I may take a trip down to nitrohouse/ofna and take a look at some mud/stone guards just to see what I can find. Its not really what I want to do but just may give me the clearance I need. We will see. Unfortunately they arent open on the weekends so next week I will begin my search

Sorry! I really am, its a great truck! You know good parts when you see em. Great job on finding some existing shafts that work! I bet its a blast!
Maybe you could just incorporate the holes in the chassis that are already there. Like overlap the new little widener plate over or under until you come to some useable holes... IDK. You know good parts when you see em.

Infact... I see some holes on the battery side that aren't being used. and/or You could shorten the top plate post(s) ever so slightly with a dremel or sander and incorporate a plate/mud gaurd extension under the post(s) Like with the plate inbetween the chassis and the post(s) Wouldn't ten millimeters of extension be enough? Two screws would suffice.

I went and checked out some losi SC8/RC8t mud guards and they look like they will work but I still run in to the same problem with the upper chassis deck. I think making the new chassis deck is the correct way to do this. So I need to sell some rigs so I canorder stuff online. I cant hide money from the wifey when making online purchases. So i need to sell some rigs lol

I am going to sell the mutant maxx as a roller. It will have the HCR Ti chassis, Proline steering kit, Proline powerstroke shocks with superstiff springs and regular ones, Rpm front arms and RPM tru track rears, Gs Storm Center diff.
