The body is not mounted yet, mainly because the future owner may not choose the same mounting method as me. I had thought about velcro, zip ties, screws or even small bread tie wire to hold the body panels. The rear shock tower was replaced with a fiberglass plate for mounting ESC or receiver to. This was important because space is very limited.
All the suspension and tranny components are from a brand new RC10 Worlds kit, and the tranny was assembled by Team Associated since I had troubles with the gear mesh.
The chassis is all made of steel 3/16" seamless tubing and the suspension mounting plates are CNC machined to match the original hole patterns exactly. It will accept both stealth type and the old 6-gear trannys. During the build, the chassis is attached to a jig to ensure the suspension plates are aligned as perfectly as possible.
For this particular chassis, I TIG welded most of it. There is one additional plate to the rear under where the driver's butt would be that was brazed, and several of my other chassis are all brazed. Both welding methods have their own specific benefits, and I've learned that the best weld joints often use a little of both.
Enjoy!
