Heavy LCG going on a diat.

[TeraTreker]

My latest project I made a LCG chassis out of 3/16" alum plate the size of the stock chassis, add 2 batteries and it ended up just over heavy for what I wanted, great for speed runs and power slides as the BIG Toro SC120 4000kv combo is Strong ! But its going on a diat with 1/8" alum plate thats only 3" wide so this is my rebuild thread so to say... hope the pics are not to big.

Is the tread on the front tires re cut or is it just packed with dirt.?

Cut... I'm going to put on 2.8 Rustler VXL tires and wheels next.

how is the servo mounted

Very cool ride!

Any way to route the motor wires through the shock tower? I get nervous seeing them hanging out like that

Did it seem to help any ? And are there any factoryt parts on that thing besides the tires and maybe body mounts ?

Std servo mounts with screws from the underside.

They are tied to the upper part of the shock and shock tower... I solder my wires directly to the esc...

Shocks and shock towers, tires/wheels, body mounts and front axles...
But I'm getting Traxxas Big Bores, and Rustler wheels with Anacondas, RPM shock towers, I will keep the stock body mounts so I can say I have part of it still on it.

nice build bud, if you don't mind me asking, what are you using to cut the aluminum with? i'd like to get into something like this

[thatsmrjptou]

We have a plate cutter at work and I have been thinking about making one of these. I just need to come up with a design for it in autocad. Is the aluminum decent for bashing? I don't race at all so I was curious if it was worth it.

[TeraTreker]

I cut it with a jig saw and hack saw, filed it down and sanded the edges, loosly based it off of the stock chassis now my new one will be only 3" wide and out of 1/8" alum.

[TeraTreker]

After my crash, remember this is 3/16" alum plate...

[thatsmrjptou]

Is there anyway you post a picture of the bottom of it?

[bigdodge44150]

That looks like it hurt wow what did you hit? How did those tires do compared to the stock slash ones.

[TeraTreker]

On road they are ok, just wear out fast. And I hit a curb at speed.
