Rc monster for the battery tray, motor mount and pinions

For braceing you Can get 12" of 1/8th cf from mcmaster for $30. Create a custom top plate the length of the chassis.

Yep i got the Motor mount from here, that's been installed already.
Im fabbing up everything else, ill have to look into the cf in one of my final stages when i decide to get a chassis.

My mockup on my chassis will give me an idea of what else i need to do if anything when i finally decide to grab a chassis...

I am stuck between a chassis or the 4092 as my next step after my mockup is tested and complete...

go with the motor I say, as its not a given your going to bend the stocker.

And save up to buy a tray from mike.

They are pretty cheap ESP if you use the CRT.5 one.

i built my tray out of 2mm aluminum, to try and add rigidity to the chassis.

I have my brace figured out, which is also going to serve as my spacer for my battery tray along with my esc tray, so i should be good there as i am going to be using the idea of aluminum angle running most of the length of the chassis so that should stiffen it up quite a bit.

The only thing i am worried about is the big gap that has been dremeled out by the other idiot, the brace will run directly across the gap so it shouldn't be that big of a deal...

When its done its should have an extremely clean look to it,
i may not even need the 4link brace setup.

Does anyone know how to fill excessive gaps in a chassis?:neutral:
That would clean the bottom up.
I was thinking J.B. weld but am not sure on how to fill the gap with it unless i put a thin aluminum plate on the top of the chassis to give it something to ad-hear too.

That is true, guess ill have to see how bad my chassis performs when finished,
then go from there.




You work in the sales field by chance?:mdr:

Just for sh#$'s and giggles will a 56mm motor fit:gasp: with the RC monster mount or will i have to shim the center diff mount?

If i have to shim can i just use some stainless steel washers?
or should i use dedicated spacers of some sort?

or is it just plain overkill?

You could shim to clear the chassis with the motor - but you would have a very difficult time getting a reasonable pinion gear to mesh with the spur - so yes, I'd say that 56mm diameter is too much for a Muggy.

Edit: also mounting holes are spaced too wide for standard motor mounts.

I use a piece of metal like the channel you mentioned and it does kind of take away from the look but i dont care because the body covers it up. But that kind of brace does work really well.

Ok, ill stick with 40-45's then as the 1717 is supposed to fit and that's a 45mm

Thats what gave me the idea of using the angle, get it thick enough and i could use it as a spacer for my trays to keep things level, and serve as a hidden brace...

As I run my muggy i think a chassis brace will be something worth looking into... But i really hate the look of the L channel running across the truck..

when i start mine ill upload a pic of how my L channel is laid out as its basically unseen for a really clean look.

Interesting please do im looking for a super clean factory look.
