MMV Challenger BUILD Mindwarp

[Mindwarp]

Ok, here's my official start to my MMV Build thread.

Not much to show for now, just a pile of parts and an unfortunately cut gold pan.

I'm looking over my parts bin for inspiration.

Should be fun, mines on hold till we move....Gutted....

Decided on my wheels.

Decided on my wheels.

WOW... you are going for it...

[Mindwarp]

Yup! But I do want to slim down the front so I need to get some slimmer Hole Shots up there.

[Mindwarp]

Quick update.

Can you see where I'm going with this?

[fredswain]

Laid down shocks. This should be interesting.

Laid down shocks. This should be interesting.

Correct! I have the front pretty much figured out, the rear though will be a head scratcher.

[Norman]

you could just lay down the front and make it a ifs car like all the tamiya cars are becoming.

[jwscab]

what are the rockers from?

[tim.sanderson]

what are the rockers from?

Traxxas, maybe?

[fredswain]

I imagine the front will be done very similar to the old Schumacher Top Cat. As for the rear perhaps the shocks could lay down above the battery?

[8rad]

Are those 1/16 revo rockers? I was thinking of getting some for carpet kitty. They look the proper size and geometry. I will be paying attention to this for sure.

I have a strange obsession with lay down suspension. It is just different to everything else out there.

As for the rear perhaps the shocks could lay down above the battery?

Run them along the side, a la frog-style.

[Mindwarp]

For the front, I plan on doing them Revo style, in fact the rockers are from a 1/16 Revo. I'm not normally a big Traxxas fan but they do have the right parts for the job I need done.

For the rear, I'm thinking going flat as well but somehow coming in through the rear chassis.
