Street sign skid plate + 3s/4s droop screw addition

[neighborhater383ci]

Found that a street signs width is just about the same width as the 3s/4s chassis, and so I decided to go on ahead and cut it down and use it for a skid plate/brace and it works out great for adding droop screws by drilling holes in arms and forcing a screw to cut threads, only issue is the arms flexing if you run super stiff springs but I have a fix for that too if someone asks I’ll make a post about that. Also modified a 1/7 scale diffuser for the rear end just cause why not lol

Nice work
For the arms flexing you might be able to do something like what the race brands do:

I ended up getting some aluminum arms to fix that( yeah yeah I know it’s not ideal for the chassis but it’s braced enough now+ have two extras) with the plastic arms I drilled a hole through the arm long ways and pressed 6s hinge pins through the arms opposite to the side the shocks mount
