Absolutely a Rad setup! Are those amazon cheapo wheels? I run similar cheap amazon wheels on my 2.2 Wraith and would love the info on those rings

Just realized hours later that I've asked for ring tech specs from you before... I used to buy rings off ya for my 1.9 SCX beadlocks back in the day! Glad to see ya back and the rig's lookin killer. Should have never doubted that the wheels (and this rig) would turn out spectacular 
Thanks. I'm sure you did buy rings from me. I sold a lot of them. Enough that it burned me out on RC's for a long time. I'm glad to be back.Just realized hours later that I've asked for ring tech specs from you before... I used to buy rings off ya for my 1.9 SCX beadlocks back in the day!

Got a couple of more things done on this. Printed out a rough draft floorboard so I can see what I want to change. Now having a 3d printer sure helps when I need to make changes. Before, I'd have to send it to our laser department and hope I got it right the first time. If not, make changes and send it back until I got it right.
The final version will be in .080 aluminum. also got the side mounts tacked together so I can braze them. Getting real close to being able to mount it to the chassis. After that, I can work on the final details. And, here is the approximate ride height. The current weight is still 2.4 ounces less than the double body.

Yeah. I'm going on 20 years as a member here. I miss the creativeness from back then. It's too easy just to buy something and bolt it on these days.
Yup, sometimes, well, now you can buy just about everyhing scale these days, for anything else that you cant, there's 3D printing, and a million free prints on the web.Yeah.

Your build. However, is not something that is easily attained without the skill and machines you are using.
I wish I had the patience to build mine. I drew out a sketch from scratch while deployed once based off of a scx10 chassis, and bent up a couple of pieces of tube and rod. And that was it.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I will admit that having the machine access I do, definitely makes things easier. It has definitely taken some patience to get to this point. Unfortunately, I don't have room at home to do it so, I have to go to my workplace to get anything done. It was a lot easier when I lived 3 minutes away.
I guess I've been forgetting to update this. Just about have the floorboard dialed in. Decided I want to go with an 8" figure so, been playing around with scaling some seats to look right. Think I finally got it. Also, got my rear shock mounts designed. Now I can send the file to laser to cut from aluminum. And today, I got the grille surround, hood bars and, rear panel surround done. A few more details and I can start thinking about paint.
