I found a set of new Houge trailing arms in my parts box. Do I need a special chassis or will a conventional chassis drilled properly work (like a gold or black tub)?
You cannot mount them to a tub chassis without serious modifications to the chassis (a lotta hackin' and a whackin'). They can be mounted on any other flat graphite or G-10 fiberglass chassis with proper drilled holes. No reason why not, just make sure you drill the new holes straight.
IIRC, there is a thread on the forums somewhere that shows a photo with the exact location dimensions of the Houge chassis holes for the trailing arms.
i have a nearly new houge trailing arm chassis, black graphite, never ran, but car was mounted to it. if you are interested in it, let me know and ill take pics
I started fabricating a carbon fiber chassis for use with a pair of Houge trailing arms. I found that the placement of the trailing arms on the chassis vary depending on the length of the rear shocks. Otherwise, there are length issues with the...

Doug - never mind about the chassis... I eneded up fabbing my own:
This is what I meant to show you with respect to the rear shock placement. As you can see, dues to where I mounted the shock on the trailing arm, I mounted the shocks on the rear...
Hey guys, here’s another project I’m working on. It started one night when I was going through a bin of parts and decided that some of these “fun bits” should come together on one car. Some Houge, Andy’s, RPM, Litespeed, custom powder coated parts,...

This is as far as I’m taking this project but I think it turned out pretty cool this far. I sold it to another member and I look forward to seeing how he finishes it off.
Found an old Houge car in a box i thought was long gone. All of the suspension is still there with Andy's front arms and a six gear tranny. I remember trading a 1/12th scale car for it and only running it a couple times.
Any members experienced with...

Thanks! Still have not brought myself to cut the Andy's Heathen body out for this chassis.
I found a NIB trailing arm kit so for what chassis will they fit directly with no problem.

Crappy pictures , but without tearing my car apart , this is the idea. Nerf bar holes seam to line up nice . I think with some creative Dremel work , two rectangular slots could be cut without sacrificing the pan to bulkhead mount . Just a thought .
Just got a new set of HOUGE ENTERPRISES RC10 Trailing Arm Kit #155 :D
The instructions dont explain much :cry: Is it possible to mount this on a aluminium tub :?: Is there a teplate for this :?:

Doug, I have gone through three Associated 66 qt tubs and I can't find the body mount. I know I have it, as I remember it clearly, just don't know where I put it. I will keep looking. Sorry.
