my homemade slash chassis...

[rootar]

finally come up with a design i liked for my slash chassis. im using .125 6061 t6 plate i will cut out the drawing (its just highlighted in dry erase it will be much more prescise) i will bend the sides up (along the dotted line) to a 20 degree incline, at the edges of the sides i will mount a set of shortened xray buggy mud guards for my nerfs to match up perfectly jsut above the bottom of the body. i also extended the wheelbase an 1/8 inch to better match the proline bodies (they seem are a little longer than the stock body). ill use a rustler type front upper chassis. I might make the upper chassis or i might use a stock plastic one depends if brad has one instock at the hobby shop this weekend or not. as for braceing the rear ill be using some spare xray upper links going from the bottom of an FLM rear tower down and forward onto the chassis. Ill also be using an FLM front tower for a better mounting angle of the shocks. For the battery tray i plan on cutting the stock chassis up and using its tray and strap just bolted to my plate. Im not really concerned about the weight as im running 1/8 buggy shocks on all corners, so a little extra weight for traction and with the help of my "cheater" tires as theyve been dubbed i should have one better handling slash. that should hookup and run much better on the track.

any input or suggestions? id like to know if youd do anything different or what you think so i can consider incorperating it into this build.
