Post and tell me what you think

[Old Busted Hotness]

Very impressive so far [H] Have you thought about a way to adjust the tweak of the chassis?

[Mad Ax]

Looks fantastic!  Out of interest, where do you get the CF and how much did it cost for enough to do your chassis..?

Looks slightly easier to cut and file than the aluminium that I usually use, and lighter too!

[mp3ranger]

I got it off ebay for $40 and still got some left over.

[hellbelly]

Your chassis looks absolutely great

I'm very envious of anyone who is capable of producing their own parts!

[mp3ranger]

I got the custom made carbon shock towers and the df03 slipper with B4 sliper gear and pads. Got the Mamba max 5700 motor installed . All part were cut with HAND tools.

Tell me what you think .

In this photo you can see how I cut out he hole above motor to help keep cool.

In this photo you can see the B4 gear installed on the df03 slipper parts.

[Guest joelvardy]

what do I think...

I is sweeeet

I admire your work well done

[mp3ranger]

That makes me go and finsh it. Now I  need to find a lexan sheet to cover the bottom of the chassis.

[Guest joelvardy]

you sure do I would be gutted if I did all of that and on the first run it all got scratched

and again great work mate

[DCM71]

how you mounted the cells?? I am sooo tempted to make one, but get fed up with all the dust.

[mp3ranger]

I am going to run a lipo pack . Going to install 2 post and have hold down strap too keep the lipo in place. I should have worn a mask when I cut the carbon . My chest hurt for couple days.

[Guest joelvardy]

don't kill yourself yet in fact

leave this to joelvardy in your will and then you can die

don't worry I am kidding

so jealous about the lipos I have always wanted some but cant bare to fork out that much

[Guest joelvardy]

just to add I can tell why you marked the the thieves on here (no names) would love them (so would I)

look what I made....

[Wrc action]

Very nice looking work - I would definately go for a lexan undercover to stop any damage as that does look sweet. Great work
