RE: 5t tube chassis 4wd
hi cheers guys, the rod ends came off ebay, i dont know who makes them, they are brand new but have megga play in the socket s will need some modding, the chassis here is a conversion from a tube chassis i did for the 5t 2wd to a 4wd mcd runniong gear, so alot of the tubes are a combination of the 2 , this will be used as a test bed and another will be built , my green sandrail which uses std hpi stuff and weighs the same as a std baja gets some abuse and holds up well, so if i can get get the end chassis some where near it, it should be ok, i think also that if you can get the weight of a buggy right so as to make the suspension work rather than have somthing so light that when it hits a bump it just jumps off the ground and looses steering and drive momentum
