This whole truck is so heavy....I cannot add anymore weight to it. The carbon was cut using hacksaw and dremmel then files, i tried to avoid using power tool to minimize the dust. Pipeous, cheers for the tips, but that's the last I'll be cutting any CF if I can help it, lol it's just too much work and hazardous.
I will be fabricating a NYLON front bumper for this, and if I make a roll cage it will be nylon as well. I think that the chassis need to be STIFF, but impact protection should be flexible plastic to absorb the impact and not transfer it to other vital components of the truck.
HERE are what I build and sell for the nitro 1:8 HPI savage trucks.
Installed Pico remote kill switch.
Installed Servos.
carbon Fibre flight deck.
Front view zoomed out.
Birds eye view.
Lump end view.
Left side view.
Gear side view.
Got the baby driven today for the very first time everything was functioning as it should, I just need to install the rollbars back on, paint the body then fabricate a front end bumper. The gears are still way too tight, still need to run her in.
