low side mount is best for performance(drive balance ), jetpro has some samba is nice , barrcuda something like that. or a box is tidy, easy fit.

I can make you one if you want. You said dual servo, is it for steering? If so are you talking MCD style plate?

Ordered the gear plate and shaft holder from 7075rc and the Ramtech adapters

Also finally made a servo tray with servo mount.

Put a radius in the corners, or you will get stress cracks at those sharp corners. Looks beefy though!!
That's true! I'll make new ones later. Thanks!

Can't wait for your adapters to get here so I can mount the wheels and see how it looks.

once again,looks awesome

are you bracin up the shock towers a bit?

by the way,priced the 1 1/4"x 10" x 22" for my little MT conversion and it came in at $218.00.also priced the same size at a 1/4" thick and came to $48.00,decided to go with the 1/4" as you did and add some 1" side rails afterwards as you but thinking about 5/16"- 3/8" thick and screw in from underneath,something like MCF did with a couple of their chassis designs for the bajas

keep er comin and thanks for the ideas,nothing better than actual pics to check it out,can't wait to start back up on mine

carry on ;)

1 1/4" aluminum holy crap what are building the space shuttle?...lol...

I was thinking about building a longer mt chassis so it's more like a losi or baja

I hate the way SC bodies look on a short chassis the wheel wells don't line up

Just got to figure out drive line lengths but that project has to wait till I get more time.

Thanks Carp Boyz! Yeah 1/4" is way cheaper and I like the MCF concept. With the skills you have shown in your project on HBF, I know it's going to be a great project to follow!
