Mach-1 Chassis Build-Up

[alfy72]

Well after sitting on my shelf for a month or so I decided to start with the Mach 1 Build Up

First Things First

Gearcases with locked trac gears, lubed up with some lithium grease



And here Is the Mach-1 Chassis Prior to Build-Up



Next is the Cantelever Set I ordered along with the chassis






Next I wanted to make sure that the axles would be able to withstand any Fall, Crash, Break, ETC While climbing so I went ahead and put in a TTR Inner and Outer axle tube brace kit...A bit Blurry, but we all know what it looks like by now



I then went ahead and decided to add some color to the chassis ..I added some Dynamite aluminum shocks 8)



Then Mounted



Next, throw On some One Of a Kind RokToy Aluminum rims with Imex Pullers
8)


I thought about what Kind of body would go good with this chassis. I figure a long and narrow body would be perfect for this type of chassis. I went ahead and Chose the HPI Dodge Chager.. I put a Chain-Link Paint Mask to give it a bit more of a rugged look



Once I had the body I figured a Kool, Pearl Purple would look sweet on this body




And here she is in all her glory...Completed...This Project took me about 4 months to complete, wouldn't have taken so long if I didnt have 2 jobs ...Anyways, I hope you guys like it

That is what I'm talking about. I'm messing around with a USA-1 trying to get something like that as a completed project. Slow going though, have to make the parts. Haven't made any yet, but I'm aquiring the materials for ideas I hope will turn out similar to that. GOOD JOB!

Man that is nice I love the lower links...

[hcfr34]

Your right I didn't even notice them, awsome design, I bet those add an inch or two in travel, over a straighter link design.

[alfy72]

Thanks For the Props Guys, Yeah the link design does allow a bit more clearance on the rocks , and they look pretty kool to boot


Thanks

No doubt. What did you use to cut them out with?
