That chassis does look pretty bad. I have a spare that hasn't been hacked on, but it is slightly bent. I've straightened worse. If you want it, you can have it for the cost to ship.

I noticed you're in WI, where about? I live a bit north of Milwaukee.

I am not to familiar with trying to straighten a chassis but it would be worth a shot.
How bad is it bent? If possible could you send me a couple pics?

Where about's north of Milwaukee?
I live around the Manitowoc area, about an hourish north of Milwaukee.

I could just meet you somewhere to pick it up as well,
I may also be heading down to Lake Geneva here shortly anyhow so i could pick it up on the way down to...

It is so hard to not run them though.
I guess easier if got another one just like it though.
Don't forget to wax it every once in a while.

I wash and wax enough things the way it is from Cars to Sub Cabinets to Collector pool cues. It probably don't help i am a detailer by trade...

Lot easier if you have another one, That's why i had to buy a second to keep thoughts of running the first at bay...

An addition has shown up last night

Now i can start mocking everything up using an existing chassis and see how i want things to go for now.

I am eventually going to do an innovative chassis, and the 4092 which i am set on now...

Some plans came to a abrupt hault for a short time as my car has decided it was easier to short out its ignition distribution system and a couple relays attached to it instead of distributing its electrical power to my Command center and heating system...

I got most everything Cleaned installed and mocked up, I have a few other things to do.

1 I have to figure out what to do for a batt tray if i want to possible fab one up or buy one from somewhere.

2 Servo setup i have to finish, I also want to switch out most of the turnbuckles and a few other things with the steering components.
Have to search on what to use for that.

3 look at different rods for bracing setup as i would like to use four rod style braces.
Have to search on what i can use there as well, I seen it somewhere around here...

4 Find me a mod one pinion, try to narrow it down to 3 pinions prefer 2 if i decide to ever run 4s lipo

5 I currently weight in at 9lbs with a MMM 2200kv With no E.S.C. and a couple missing parts and Batts.
I just want to find some carbon fiber pieces to possible lighten it up a hair.

I think that pretty much takes care of most everything
if there is anything else anyone can think of please feel free to let me know, Or if there is a better way on doing something...

Looks good! I had the 4 link chassis brace setup but i didnt like it. The plastic ends kept popping off and i felt that it didn't provide too much bracing either.

That's what i was kind of worried about,
But that can always be changed by grabbing some longer threaded rod and throw on some closed ends...

I wasn't sure of much else for a brace that could be made to look factory.
The Angle piece would do it, but it would take away from a clean look in my opinion.

My mockup should be finished in a few days besides screwing everything together.
I can then look at the setup to see what i could do for a brace, as i could incorporate the brace on one of the Innovative or Losi hd chassis's if i feel the need to.

I am always open for ideas
