I'm on R7R, I'll PM him or something, I kinda like my chassis, but I might just get one off him.
Lay your chassis out on styrene, dril a few holes throught and secure with bolts. Then drill the rest. The front end has some room for adjustment too.
No styrene. 
What you want to do is reinforce what holds the servo and stiffen the chassis if you go custom. My eXo-T had the habit of the servo jumping out of place.
The chassis is plenty thick for this thing, and the servo will be flat with super-high strong mount tape(trinity).
Also, what batteries are you going for? If you go the Li-ion route, consider cutting battery trays into the chassis. Lowers the COG a bit. Cut the springs and shorten your shocks and get it down a few MM's and it will handle even better...
Losi LiPo. I might make my own pack for more punch and runtime.
And... Flip the rims the right way and possibly get some street meats. They're heavier but SUPER sticky. It will look more correct too.
Well, I'll flip the rims when I go to lhs to get some paint. Or have my mom mail me my paints. More correct?
Or course, but they are too tall for what I want to do, I saw them for 7 bucks on ebay...I'm trying to use what I already have, I can dremel off the unused part of the rim, so the foams fit okay.
EDIT:
On mine when I get money in my wallet again (after summer, as always) I'm doing shorter shock towers in CF as well as shortened Atomic Dampers. You might want to consider it, it can help quite a bit with the handling.
Yeah, I will consider it, I may try it, may not.
*Still need to ship my EP. I'll get it out 2mro. |
And for the EP, I still haven't gotten in my AM wires, I got some 22 AWG wires in, they are like the AM size, with about 40 strands, perfect for what you want.
Also, is the charger that one Phone Charger jacked for Ions, and what side is the male plug on the charger?
Either AIM me or pm me, or just reply here, any of those work for me.
And thanks for the suggestions.
