How much would you sell the chassis you're not using for?

nkldrgr · 07-06-2012, 07:46 PM

I sent you a PM. I hadn't really thought about selling it. Make me an offer.

nkldrgr · 07-07-2012, 09:38 PM

Small update.

Today was a busy day. Its amazing how long the little details take. I started to add the side cage tubing. Its just a start, but you get the idea.

I decided to the a chassis mounted servo (CMS). I started with the frame mount for the pan-hard rod. Then I built my own axle mount. It was actually really easy.

Notice how my pan-hard rod and drag link are at the exact same angle and the same length. In a 1:1, its a must. It prevents bump-steer and death wobble.

As for new shoes: 1.9 Mickey Thompson TTCs on 2.2 Mayhem wheels. It was not that hard either. I just cut the bead off of the tire. The beadlock clamps down well enough. I'll let you know if there are any issues.

I think that they look so much better than any of the other tires that I've tried. They come out to be about 38" tires on 18" wheels

The main chassis is done. I need to finish the bed cage and rear bumper.

So I worked on the cage for a bit. It is now connected to the bumper so it doesn't fly out. Again, a few details need to be added, but here is an update.

where did you get the raceline looking wheels? the chrome with black rings? look super nice

nkldrgr · 08-04-2012, 08:23 PM

Mayhem Monsters
http://www.mayhemengineering.com/rims.html

RC4WD makes a similar set, but the Mayhem's are way better quality and way better looking.

nkldrgr · 08-10-2012, 11:59 PM

FOR SALE. Make me an offer. I'd sell it RTR or as a kit.

nkldrgr · 08-26-2012, 07:38 PM

Selling the chassis and body. The chassis will include the bed cage. The sway bar, endlinks (needs Traxxas metal balls), panhard rod, and tires are included.

For the panhard, you'll need two 4mm RC4WD joints for each end. The ends of the rod are already tapped for M4 thread.

$250.00 plush shipping. I really want it gone. Time for the next project.

The old chassis and bed cage is $50.00 plus shipping
