Custom Buggy Thoughts

[HotnCold]

Nice - good to see another conversion - i have a couple of thoughts to add - i would think about the servo ( as jh mentioned ) - i would shorten the front drive shaft - move the center diff up towards the front more - hang the motor off one side of the diff with a custom diff mount/motor mount - rather than over the top of the diff - you will get better handling with the lower center of gravity for racing purposes, offset the motor weight with batteries and speed controller - and have a shorter throw for the steering servo. As far as support - ( i did this on my HB truggy - ) I placed a custom made brace that runs from one shock tower to the other - rather close to midline in the chassis - threaded on both ends thru the shocktower - worked like a charm - no chassis flex at all - and i used aluminum - so to keep the weight down... And as far as for mikes machine, it should be big enough for a chassis - i know the chassis length will not be a problem. Definately a good start though.......
