AX-10 axles, upgraded with various goodies as my budget allows
chassis designed by myself
Insane R/C delrin links
SW2 center skid
pede tranny
mamba max and TCS crawlers BM9 outrunner
revo shocks, front set in a 50/50 set-up, and rear regularly sprung.
well, all i got done tonite was get my chassis together. so here's some pics:

here's a detail of the shock mount arms.
as you can see, they are adjustable and have 4 different possible positions. i also have 3 more sets of the arms, in varying lengths.
now, here are some things i am considering:
tranny- i mocked up my pede tranny on the chassis, and the motor kind of hangs over the one side, putting a lot of weight towards the driveside of the rig. i am considering addressing this issue by using one of TCS's AX-10 delrin skids, and an axial tranny. this should put the motor more towards the center, plus it will give me the option of putting on a aftermaket dig system if i decide to go that route.
motor- i have an almost brand new Trinity CO27 Pro 27 turn motor i am thinking of using, and gearing nice and LOOOOOOOOOW.... (i know this sounds crazy, but i like my wheelspeed....) if i use this motor, i am going to hard wire it to my mamba max.
tires and wheels- i have a set of axial beadlocks, and M2K's i am going to still use. i am considering trying out proline's memory foams, now that i can get mem foams at a reasonable price....
body- i am going to use my favorite shell out there, a parma grasshopper lid....
well, that's all i got for now. keep an eye out on this thread over the next couple of weeks. i am hoping it turns out nice....
