Leopard 2 Question

[easy]

If I upgrade to the new longer chassis Can I use the stock carbon rails ?

Would it be possible to re drill the holes ?

Chassis or rails that is ?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

You can use the stock carbon rails, but you need to make two new holes in the chassis ......

Okay thank you I may pursue that idea when I find a longer chassis

cheers

The longer chassis requires different carbon rails and longer linkages from the steering servo to the servo saver.

Ok thank you so the front part is kind of extended I guess .

Amazing how a 24 mm longer chassis can make a buggy perform better

I owned a car with the longer chassis and found it was still too short.
The extra length is between the steering servos and the servo saver, I made a test chassis out of carbon fibre that was an additional 20mm longer and it made a difference.
Our track is hard packed clay with low grip, If more grip was available the chassis you are looking at buying probably would have been good enough.

Maybe think about making your own chassis?

That looks okay

I guess a bit less rigid than full carbon length but minimal diff .

making a chassis is a good idea.

I ll get some alloy shaped out

Do they use a 3000 series alloy ?? as 600 will snap when being bent correct ?
