Cut a SWB chassis down 47mm and had it welded back together. I haven’t found a 74mm dogbone with a big enough end to fit the diff cups so for now McQueen is rear wheel drive. Senton arms/drive shafts, infraction mounts which sit a little high, infraction xlx mount over the center diff on a stock blx system geared 20/50. I want to get the body lower, a nicer chassis, and maybe eventually more power 😂

My grandkids would love this build 🤘🏻🤘🏻
 
That weld looks really sick. How's it handle with the extra short wheelbase?
About as expected, took a little bit to learn the finesse needed to not spin out 😂 once you get the hang of it it’s not bad
 
Very cool. Got a link for the body?
Search eBay for Disney 20” push toy. There’s a few different ones. They get cheaper if you don’t mind stickers ripped but run $25-50
 
Update, I flipped the front body mount and got the body down lower. I may have some clearance issues with the front on a sharp turn, I’ll have to see for sure soon

Got it a little lower yet again and massaged the front wheel wells to clear when turning. Also upped the rear diff fluid to 30k

It’s hard to handle on the track but I got 60 once hahaha. This thing is a blast!
