Hi guys,
Thought I'd keep you updated on what's going on.
I've been quite busy making changes to the model, and I've pretty much finished now.
On the changes, I've mainly worked on providing more room around the motor. That includes a shorter T-plate and new battery strap (which I think looks neat). The pack is also now held by the chassis sides so there are less parts too. This will accomodate stick as well as saddle lipos.
I've modified the gearbox externally to move the shock tower rearwards to give the turnbuckles more clearance and this will also include tabs for the roll bar.
Motor mount has been modified for easier access to the motor screws.
I've designed brass plates to add 160g where it's needed.
Changed the chassis shape so the shell will fit better.
On the production side I've been looking at anodising for the aluminium parts, I'm just trying to find a way to make the gearbox affordable.
Nex stage is a small run of pre-production cars to verify everything fits.
Let me know what you guys think.
