Lolol I love it, more simple solutions to big problems!!Here's some thought..
Regarding possible material for making custom panels.. Since it's just the prototyping stage..
I would grab some of those yummy glazed donuts (from Sam's, Costco, where ever) in those Large Clear plastic packaging..

Once you've enjoyed the pastries, just clean up the container(s) and cut them up to form any necessary panels.
Super Cheap!
And, you're helping the environment by repurposing the plastics!!
Double Bonus
White and red are my initial thoughts. I think I have white already at home. Don't have red though I know that so if you got it then by all means throw it in!!
You love designing stuff and you are damn good at it too! I'll see what I end up doing. I might start with the carbon route first and see what I end up with
When you say smaller ones do you mean use 2 of the original BR ? And how did you put yours together? Did you have to rearrange the input and out put sides?only asking because I have not yet bought any so I can't really figure it out.if you have any spares around and could show me pics on how you put them together as one I'd appreciate it..my chassis should be in next week by Tuesday and the body cover still waiting on it.untill then I'm stuck.also I think it's best I use a second high speed bearing so Ill have to order one more.figure it will support the shaft better .to make it equal.like what you did
Exactly, you will probably use 2 ofthe SWB ones like I did on my first build. and Yeah you need 2 of the high speed bearings without a doubt. They hold the shaft really nice (hehe). But you use one of the red spline inserts to connect the 2 shafts. It's the red piece that normally connects the shaft to the slipper
Ah yes I recall you mentioning that earlier here.my high speed bearing is being held by the screw in mount.i don't think it's molded in .I'm at work and can't check.hopefully it's not molded to the chassis.id like to try to put one bearing to each side .I'll order that bearing now.
Did you start to make panels yet? And where can I find sheets of carbon fiber?

Then waiting more for the rest of the things I need to start my extension.cover should be in next Thursday.that blows.My big rock chassis should be tomorrow.im siked
I love it.thats awesome work .well done.thats a beast .you beat us all in your extended build.im so far behind due to waiting for parts lol but I got plenty of time since winter bis near .no way I'll finish in time.but I'll try to do a vid when it's done .at least pics.
Well the new k4s chassis has bearings supports molded in and they are terrible. The old style that screws into the chassis is much much better and that's what I'm running, 2 of them. The shafts are held nice and tight, I can almost pick up the truck by the center shaft before they pop out of the supports.Sweet! Now we're talking!
Or, slap some Fireteam wheels on it...
So any issues with the Double-Back-to-Back Center Driveshafts?
Are those bearings held nice & firm by those stock holders? Or are they kind of wobbly?
If you need some tighter fitting bearing holders, let me know.
I'm working on some enhanced bearing supports (that's based off of @Camaroboy383 's original design. A Big Thank You to him!)
Any how, That's just fantastic! Great Job!
Can't wait to see how you end up with those custom panels and color scheme.
Your 2nd Fully Functional Custom eXtendo Chassis.
You are on a Ro!!
I'm hyped for get it in a more final form whatever that means lol. Can't wait for V2 parts to come

But thank you very much
Yeah that's one part of the build I'm not going to look forward to .I have 3 things to deal with..that center shaft the chassis and then the body.all should be in by middle of next week.the big rock body should have been here today but slow ass mail man didn't show up.i have a lot of thinking going into my build.lol just figuring out where to cut my body and then cut the chassis on both the original and the xtra one I bought which is another box v3 BRcc and I bought another center shaft with the high speed bearing.if I'm silent for a while it's because my brain is trying to calculate all this crap lol.oh boy thank God for xtra strength Tylenol 600 milligram s
I'm going to start a build thread so I don't talk about mine on yours which isn't right.this is your build thread not mine .I apologize.my baddYeah that's one part of the build I'm not going to look forward to .I have 3 things to deal with..that center shaft the chassis and then the body.all should be in by middle of next week.the big rock body should have been here today but slow ass mail man didn't show up.i have a lot of thinking going into my build.lol just figuring out where to cut my body and then cut the chassis on both the original and the xtra one I bought which is another box v3 BRcc and I bought another center shaft with the high speed bearing.if I'm silent for a while it's because my brain is trying to calculate all this crap lol.oh boy thank God for xtra strength Tylenol 600 milligram s
