woo

Looks promising... one thing i would say is you need to "centralise" the turnbuckle...

Make a small traingular shape from CF or similar and mount that to the gearbox where the motor guard was, then with the a hole in the middle of the two holes mount the turnbuckle to that and then the middle of the chassis... if that makes sense??

Good work though :thumbsup:

it makes sence its off at an angle to clear my lipo, mainly because i could do with some threaded bar from b&q so i have a link long enough

it also stops twisting of the t plate as the motor plate is secured to the chassis, this helps to blance things out

the problem i have is the whole truck is very bendy and the plastic isnt very rigid some obviosuly i expected some flex but this gets ixed with the inherent bendyness making problems bigger

this is v1.0 version 2 will come when i see what breaks and why

I was thinking that may be the reason for the offset when i looked closer and noticed the motor plate attached to the chassis...

You could run some "raised" CF supports down the sides of the cassis...? that helps to reduce flex, i did it on a custom B4 i made a while ago...

Kind of like this...

I LIKE THAT !!!

cheers will look in to it

could also run a CF plate across the origional battery posts and secure it so the rod could be mounted centrally

also the two plates coming from the gearbox to the chassis where do they mount to ?

Glad you like it :thumbsup:

Not too sure which 2 plates you mean??? The ones that are mounted to the rear shock tower??

Nice work.

I surely am interested.
I have an E-Firestorm on the shell that has not have been driven in yonks.

Might be an interesting project.

i need to redo

all the angles neeed rofining and measurements making

but the mod is east nothing is requires except a dremel and some tie roda

tested it the otherday and the handling is very different loads more steering but the rear end loses some consistency :eh?: still fun to do and changes things on the cheap

Youldme

Did you have to reverse the speedo / motor so that the transmission didnt run in reverse ?
