I see now how you cut out the bottom chassis plate. It looks like you have enough material to make another custom chassis.
In my line of work I have access to enough material to make thousands of chassis. That's just the one piece I brought home for this project

Now I'm finished fabricating parts. I might change out the arms later for less yellow ones but done for now.

Mcmaster carr is the best for the sheets, there are a lot of choices but i typically use the 1/8 12x12 part number 8667K213 and black 1/8 12x12 is 85345K12
Those should get you in the ballpark

Cuts easily with a jigsaw, dremel, etc but make sure to wear a mask. It's very bad to inhale the dust
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

A&L Trailing arm 10T, the C2 based double decker

First post
Just something for fun. A&L arms on a custom chassis with some modern, some old school, and lots of A&L 8)
I hope to be able to run it this weekend. It will just be on foams around the street

The cv's should work. I have the output cups we used with the dogbone conversions but the plastic universals won't clear the trailing arms.

Some pictures of my recently new truck I won off fleabay, you know how I collect in 2's. I thought it might make a nice companion to my dual engine USA-1.
Picture off ebay.

Left engine ran a few tanks already. Heat cycling one cools while the other one runs.
Still a long ways to go not even a half gallon between the both of them. Awesome fuel!
