i picked this chassis up awhile back from apex (i think). i started throwing some parts on it, just to see what i'd come up with. here's where it's at so far.

c.c. slotted chassis w/ extra slot added on left side
c.c. team car shock towers
team losi aluminum steering bellcrank
robinson racing adjustable rear toe setup
robinson racing 18 degree kingpin/steering setup
mip teflon shock bodies w/ glass beaded caps............front only
andy's rear bulkhead
mip trans
rw racing yokomo wheel adapters f&r
trinity yokomo/dominator wheels
trc wing mounts

the shocks will most likely get changed, since jimmy hoffa's body will be found before i ever find a pr. of 1.32 mip shock bodies for the rear. i also need to get a couple packs of rc10 body mounts and a sheet of graphite. i'm gonna make a battery hold down setup similar to a yz10. or, i'll get some custom works hold down brackets and use some pure tech saddle pack straps.

is that motor mount and heatsink one piece?

it's 2 pieces. the heat sink is adjustable. once you have your gear mesh set, you can slide the heat sink right up against the motor.

wicked cool. who made it?

well from what i have found out, a guy local to my area made them a long time ago. when i posted a pic of it over on dodc, a few of the guys knew exactly who made it. he was a dirt oval racer in the late 80's.

very nice car Jason, I love it! I also have Robinson Racing rear adjustable mounts and was wondering if they are easy to adapt...

Cheers Scr8p

all you need to do is drill and countersink 2 holes, and put a slot in the chassis for access to the adjuster. this chasssis had already had one on it before i got it, so i didn't have to do any of that. i just had to attach the one i had.

Sweet ride "J" Kool to see all the old stuff assembled,that used to be so common at the races.

nice, nice, nice. You make me want to work on my stuff again!

over the past couple months i've been robbing parts off of this chassis for other builds. so, it's just been sitting in the corner. i was looking at it tonight, and had the idea of making it a mid engine. here's where it's at so far. just mocking stuff up. all of the new holes are drilled and countersunk. i think i'm gonna cut the rear tower down and use 1.02's on the back. the 1.32's seem like a bit too tall to be hanging off the back of a buggy.

Well, this should be interesting.

Looks like a dualsport rear tower might work, if you got one

That tower size is just fine, look at the works YZ10, pretty much the same if not bigger.
You can allways hide it under the rear of the spoiler
Are you gonna put an 8th slot so you can keep the saddle pack congiuration?
(I think the back 2 slots will be covered partially by the moter)
To reverse the rdrive: are you going reverse moter, moterplate or belt drive?

Just curious

someone added the front slot on the left side of the chassis. it was only supposed to be six. i do have a pack of yokomo battery hold downs for a yz10, so the 4-3 setup won't look out of place, imo. although, they'd have to be mounted on an angle, since the motor will be in the way of the battery post. i'll most likey just use some pure-tech saddle pack straps.

i'm gonna flip the topshaft and motor plate to the other side of the case. that way, any standard motor will work just fine. here's a couple pics with a motor installed. plenty of room to the batteries.

i made a roller out of it. i wanted to get a body mounted on it so i could get an idea of what it would look like. with a body on it, the rear tower doesn't look too tall.
