Didn't realize you had a hybrid worked out like that. I like it!
Might have to be a new little future project for me! But I'd have to have one powerful motor to need another 1.25" of wheelbase, wow!
I just wish that mod was reversible and cross-compatible (without intense modification), so I could somehow run that trick looking canti suspension on the GB tub chassis, now that would be cool!
But, the black chassis really is sweet, and so is the chance of being able to fit another cell in there too.
Very cool, getting those brain juices flowing.

Nice thinking with the GB02 wheel adapter too... Have to give one a shot. Probalby pick up some of the delrin ones, easier to form.


And yeah, I don't see any reason why the GB02 suspension wouldn't bolt up to the GT chassis any more difficult than the GB01.... But, no possibility of running those dual trailing arms with the canti... at least not without custom parts.
Now you got me thinking. I bet you could bolt the rocker mounts to the stock GB01 chassis, it sandwiches between the chassis and the servo plate. It would need some sort of reinforcement though as one of the mounting points won't be there. Maybe epoxy it straight to the chassis. As for using the rockers/cantilevers with trailing arms, that could probably be done with enough tinkering as well. Not sure how a trailing arm suspension would look with no shock towers or shocks sticking up.
