20 € 1 /7 kraton chassis

[Phamous]

Hey guys, as some of you already noticed, I've been working on diy chassis. Inspired by the Mojave one.

I bought a 5mm 7075 plate, and work on it mostly by hand. No cnc etc. I've got some issues with the bulge for the diffs in the front and the rear. Had these 2 open, more often than I want to count.
Used the original dogbone from the back and used it for the front. Cut the original one in 2 pieces and pressed them back together. This one is now 163mm long. So that the motor is almost in the middle of the chassis. I also used the original chassis as a template to make sure that the holes fit correctly. Got a lil carried away in the end, by thrilling the holes for the side guards and thrilled some wrong.

In the end im pretty satisfied with the outcome. Haven't clean it yet. All the inner parts are clean though.

Just wanted to share.

Had a senton 3s body around, looks like a good fit.

Will you have to fabricate something for the rear body posts to reach the body?

If I use the kraton yes, the senton fits.

Did you drive it already? How does it behave with the strechted chassis?

Unfortunately it was about 23:00 yesterday, so I didn't get the chance to. And today it's raining ?

But I expect a good handling performance. Some guys on yt did the same with a bought Mojave chassis, and the handling was great.

I'm itching to get it out there.
