Thanks guys, glad to hear it.
Anyway, here is another shot of the guide holder that was bent and soldered to the front bulkhead.
I used brass rod and formed a front bumper. Nothing fancy, just something to move guys like Jeremy out of the way. :eusa-whistle:
As you can see, I am no expert chassis builder. But it works.
I soldered the MT motor in place. Then I used some brass plate and cut to fit. This is what I will drill into to make my body mounts.
The one thing I do not like about these Pro Motor mounts is that the distance of the rear axle is set just slightly to far back. This means the motor shaft does not sit inside the crown gear as designed to limit side to side play. So, you need to shim it. I used brass tubing, measured and cut the desired length. It works just fine.
I made a rear bumper out of brass rod that slides into the rear chassis rails. Again, very simple and you can slide to adjust it as needed.
All finished. Test runs reveal a decent runner. Not an award winning design or pretty...but it works.
Test fitting the body. It is too low in the photo, but my mounts will pick it up slightly so it looks like it should.
