Retrofit XX Tranny Chassis Mods

Post by FasterLouder »

I picked up a super clean JRX Pro chassis that I'm going to modernise some,with XX front suspension and a retofit XX tranny.
I have the retrofit tranny-I just need an accurate template of the cut I need to make in the chassis for it to fit.
Can anyone help?

I had good luck with the dremel for cutting the hole for the retro trans on a molded chassis. I scratched out the outline with an x-acto knife, then I used the drywall cutter attachment with a suitable bit. It worked really well, the plastic is easy to cut through. I have not tried on a grpahite chassis yet, that would probably be a little harder on the bit.

I used my Dremal drill press, I set the depth with a flat grinding stone and moved the chassis around till all of the material was removed and with the drill press you will not go through the bottom of the chassis.
