Lightning 2 Pro carbon rallygame conversion

[nativepaul]

I am waiting for 3.5mm carbon for the chassis and shock towers, but I have some 2mm on hand for the rest of it, I hope to have more updates with carbon replacements for plenty of the alloy stuff soon

I made a new servo top plate.




Ackerman plate, I've now sanded all of the forward adjustment holes off.




I cut out parts for a new battery tray that is not only much lighter but will lower the CoG too, as the alloy tray I have at the moment is raised off the chassis on spacers by about 5mm to clear the mudguards, I will mill groves in the chassis to hold it in position at the bottom.




I made a full front diff/steering post/centre diff/rear diff top plate that stiffens the chassis a lot over the regular front and rear braces, but with a significant weight saving.




Motor mount lightened from this,

to this,

As well as the material reduction around the motor to make it more like Mikes current mounts I removed 3mm from the bottom so i no longer have to use the spacer mike made me under the front centre diff upright lowering the CoG as well as weighing less and removed about 3.5mm from the top of both the motor mount and the front centre diff upright so the new long chassis top plate sits flat from the rear diff case across the centre diff to the steering bellcrank posts.
