In effect you make it a box section, chassis / 4 posts / top deck

It looks very good.

For chassis bracing, I would go for triangulation. A piece on each side of the chassis, from mid way along the cells and going back and upwards mounted high on the tower - triangulation is great for reducing flex. But remember to keep it light - use some Carbon!

Also, I would consider raising the sides of the chassis front to back - carbon? it could be bolted on from the inside with countersunk screws so everything wil still fit.

Also, finally. With mounting those arms you have opened up the possibilities for the rear end, why don't you take the wheels off, widen the track to the point where you will be able to use B4/Losi rear wheels and have the correct total width, should be possible with B4 rear driveshafts.

Id name it the = ognarud

for the brace idea, u cud screw it at the front on the back mounts for the front brace, so it goes over the servo 2, and make some mounts at the back of the battery tub bit.

ye u should mod the back bit with losi/ae wheels should make it handle bumps a bit better

edit: the brace has to miss the servo arm.

Thumbs up

sounds like a cool idea as for the wheels and stuff dunno if it will make it better as already it seems perfect over bumpy sections and jumps stays nice and level !!! im pleased to say.

as for the rear drive shafts yes sounds good, any one selling a set of AE rear b4 C.V.Ds? if so pm me, the cars nearly complete as in over all, it runs and ive raced it and it goes very well, im making a 4wd at the moment along with ryan on this forum as in the "RL1" ( Ryans idea , car design of the RL1 ).

ive tried losi heavy duty cvds but unfortunatly the ends that go into to the diff are too big , ive tried to file them down and the pins got so low and i pushed it a lil hard and they sanpped lol oOps !

cheers garry

(PM me if any one has any b4 C.V.Ds or u know of any one who has any they want to sell, i dnt want to go paying out for some brand new ones jst incase they are no good lol )

Never had a B3, but if it weren't for the imperial stuff, I would put one on my whislist for a project like this one.

Make sure you finish it off in beauty!
