hello roofchopper,for a while i been following your other post on the hpi,and i will say you do a great job.i was looking at this one and i was wondering if the wheel base on the final chassis will be longer that the original marder specs,just wondering...

 

[roofchopper]

hi mate, yes its slightly longer than a hpi baja so will be mega longer than a marder, im gonna do some wide arms to get the look right

 

[sperera]

me likey very much, how much does it weigh?

 

[roofchopper]

hi thanks, i think about 27 to 30 lbs or abit lighter

 

[sperera]

nice work, cant wait to see the finished product!

 

[rcpwr4me]

it looks so good...ROOFCHOOPER...because of your work i start back again on my own proyect. (one of so many)

 

[roofchopper]

hi cheers mate, i think now you can never have enough projects

 

[sperera]

so whats next? front end of finding a way to mount radio tray?

 

[roofchopper]

hi yea, if it was me i would use the hpi steering/r/c box etc but i think i will put mounts in for the fg

 

[sperera]

guess you could go either way, fg stem is a lot less fiddly though

 

[roofchopper]

hi, the steering mount has hpi and fg mounts

sorted the rear shox/ cage brace

got the rear cage section sorted



starting to take shape, exhaust is going to be interesting

 

[roofchopper]

coming on, hope the shox will give me some shox tower to build
will take the std marder r/c tray or you could copy it in ally sheet

tank mounts next
