a better composite craft setup?

Post by **asashaw** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 7:25 pm

Disappointed by having to cut the rear bulkhead so much (since it looks so ugly when cut), and the fact that i don't own anymore rear a-arm mounts, i decided to search for an alternate. I came up with RPM # 70575 Rear mounts for the B3 or T3. I cut them down slightly and drilled one extra hole per side on my junk chassis... everything (dog bones / axles) lines up great (about 1/4 inch back from stock position) and you dont have to cut the bulkhead. do you guys think it's worth drilling a mint composite craft chassis to accept these so you don't have to cut the bulkhead.... opinions please

personally, i wouldn't drill the chassis. but that's just me. it also looks like the motor (if you installed one) would hit the a-arm. i could be wrong about that, it just looks like it would.

i have a pr. of 3 degree worlds rear arm mounts if you'd need them. brand new.

I haven't tried to fit a motor, but i think it will fit, the suspension mounts are shorter from the top then the stock ones, but i agree i dont really want to drill a perfect chassis, even if it allows me not to cut out the rear bulkhead for arm clearance... pm sent. thanks scr8p

I don't think I would have drilled the chassis either. So I guess you won't be needing my extra worlds mounts afterall?

I do need the mounts still. For the two chassis i bought from you. the junk chassis was an experiment. please i need the parts!!!
thanks

in the side by side shot, it doesn't look as far back as it did in the other pic. it'd still be close, i think.
