Default Mini Monkey Spanker!!!!

Hi all over the next few weeks im converting my std mini t pro into a mini monkey spanker (aka S2) so ive decided to start a thread and show you my progress. Now ive started drawing it all out i have the outline of the chassis draw and a card model made im going to make a plastic version on thursday then once its fully working it will be made from carbon fibre. It will have ajustable battery possition (on a sliding battery tray) 4 gear gear box and new rear shock tower. So here are some pics of my model not working im afraid as the car bends to much lol hopefully will have a working one on thursday. Once the ca ris finallised i will be vacume forming a bodyshell for it. Sorry about poor pics....

i can never spell lol

Made some more decitions on it now im going to have a top deck the full length of the car to help stop the back en from snapping off lol But possibly might reconsider the 4 gear box not to sure on how succesfull thatwill be the 3 gear would be alot easier and just have a new rear shock tower.

Ash .... do you mainly run on slippy surfaces or with really big jumps? If not then I'd stick with the 3 gear tranny as it's going to be quite difficult to make up a well aligned transmission case without access to a decent mill etc.

I have access to a cnc router cnc laser cutter and a cnc milling machine But i think i may stick with the 3 gear box its easy i might just make a new rear shock tower.

Looks good Ash, but aren't you worried the acrylic may be a bit brittle?
