Hell horn. Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Been adjusting it again. More making a massive mess. Ha. Only part I'm still not keen on is the rear shock mounts. Still looks wrong. But I think half because I'm using shocks that are way to long. Might get some cheap 90mm ones to test fit before try and find some 2660 shocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Like I said on txt, the DE shop will have them back in stock late April.... But yeah, you’ll be fighting geo with shocks that long buddy.... So you not still have the bully shocks? ( if you sold it with your 2660s)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sold the shocks ages ago unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Got nothing that size now. Only spare shocks I have are 120mm ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 So even more messing around with it. Even closer to being spot on. Flipped rear axle over so the drive shaft clears the links at full drop. All works well now. Rear shock mounts are sorted. Looks nice now. Tempted to see if I can find a. Centre rear axle for it. See how that works on it. Might be better then the ar60s off set. Getting there with it now. Next version will have slightly different rear link mount points to work better.

Hell horn. Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 So then. Updated the chassis style. Forward motor mount now. Love the general look now. And the feel of it. But got to make a few changes to it still. Next version we will getting very close to being finished I think. Then I can get some nice shinny parts for it . Custom links needed for the rear end. Need to make a new sump for it. And finish of the shock mounts as I'm not 100% on how they are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Made a battery mount for it tonight. Its a dig servo mount from a capra. Works spot on. Small bit of carbon bolted to it. Just need to counter sink the holes now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Right. More progress on my chassis project. Remade the front shock mounts. Much better this time. Getting very close to this being finished now. Almost time to test it out. Temp links made up. Work well. General look of the chassis sorted. Got to mess with front axle roll still to get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Love this build, and love that nearly every post since the first page has said something like “nearly finished now...” ...who are you trying to kid? 🤣😂🤣👍👌 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm trying to kid myself. If I think it's almost done. I will keep trying to finish it. If I think I have loads left. I might give up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Closer closer closer. Almost so almost right. Need the few bits to arrive so I can test it. Redid the front shock mounts. Best ones yet. Slight tweeks needed on the chassis and sump. Need my parts being delivered now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Arrrggghhhh the long wait to see if it works lol coming on mate and looking forward seeing it finished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I really like the look of it buddy. All that hard work is paying off!! Then you'll have to ship it to me for a test!😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Once it's sorted. I could possibly make a second chassis for testing purposes. For a small fee if say £5000 to cover basic costs. Lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Right thats it. People have seen. You have agreed to buy 2 chassis. You now owe me £10k. I will message you my PayPal details. Seriously. If this even works and is usable. I'd be happy to make a couple more. You supply the hamburger for yourself. As no idea if it would work with any other gearbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Now have to wait for parts to arrive for it before I can test it. 3rd attempt at ordering a set of drive shafts for it. First 2 went missing in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then see about the Main chassis redone to. Used an old chassis to get shock mount holes lined up. Getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way how it is devouring those innocent plastic toys below 😈 But are those still your long shocks??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yes sort of. They are now 95mm long now. I have made it so I can use shorter shocks without messing up the car now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
