dual 5t

[roofchopper]

here we go again, 5t full tube chassi and with the shell off a sandcar :huh:

 

[roofchopper]

gonna make it as tight as poss to suport the shell better

Roof have you thought about doing a Mid Motor Mod? not sure if you could pull it off, but a mid motor unit would be much better balanced and should be easier to control?

 

[roofchopper]

hmmm, funny you should say that

mantis LT mid eng, been on it for a month now, just working out the susp angles, gonna run 4 shox per side on the rear, the susp pivit point will be inline with the drive shaft coming out of the gearbox, abit like a motor bike swingarm and chaindrive down to the wheel, if i get it right you could swing the susp almost 180o with out the shox on, keep it under your mate

[roofchopper]

hi thanks, chassi so far, plenty of tubes to fit yet

 

[CSR260]

thats so nice, you got skills, where is the chassis going to fit? ur is that a built in chassis?

 

[roofchopper]

hi, its a full tube chassi, you use the rear lower engine plate from the baja but thats about all, the rest fits to the chassi including the front suspension

 

[CSR260]

iam looking forward to see the updates, how many are you making? will you be selling the tube chassis's?

 

[CSR260]

will the stock 5t bumper fit the tube chassis?

 

[roofchopper]

hi i think it will have its own front bumper welded or bolted,im on the front tonight sorting the shox tower/ front bumper section
