Re: AYK Bobcat Project - All Suggestions and Help Welcome!
Here's a few pics from last nights progress, the shocks seem to be working okay now but I have no idea how or replace the uprights.
I may even take them to a local engineering firm and see if I can get them made. My dad is retired now but he was an engineer and could replicate all these things.....dam him for enjoying his old age!!!

Nice progress on the project, shocks are looking much better now.
As for the uprights - the ones from the Ishipla Monster is just the same. I compared them to the ones on my Bobcat/Buffalo (Thanks to gomachv).
These are not rocket sience to remake if You have a drill, wise, 3mm and 2,5mm drill bits and a 3mm thread tap. 6mm alurods can be found a most home depots/hardware stores, at least in Denmark.
If You´re still stuck without rear suspension mounts (uprights) after a half year, give me a shout and I´ll get my wife´s 8 year old, to make You some

Re: AYK Bobcat Project - All Suggestions and Help Welcome!
Well she´s certainly better than me at dancing and skipping rope
I find it hard to make a straight cut with a hacksaw, so after cutting, I mount my net power drill in the wise and install the cut-off bit in the chuck without scratching it too much. Then rev up the drill to a reasonable speed and use a flat file (not too coarse) at the end of the cut-off, trying as good as possible to keep it at 90 degrees when moving it slowly back and forth. This should give You a near perfect stand.
Don´t know if this makes any sense to You, I´d rather explain it in Danish

Your English is better than mine Dennis, the only word I can correct you on is "vice" not "wise"

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
