Ok cool all those sound like some great ideas.Chief409 said:My plan is to take the original chassis, trim the side rails off, enlarge the mounting holes so the screws don't have to be changed, (they'll only mount in the chassis, not the doubler) and use JB Weld and some rivets to laminate the pieces together. Going from in front of the center diff, to the end. After looking at RCGASSERS pictures, the doubler might run to in front of the gas tank. And make some windows like I'm using on 5b sand buggys to reinforce the cage and make it stiffer. It'll add weight, but should still be lighter then a 5IVE, and the body will still fit.Man, that's a nasty wreck.
I need to get a band saw, and a rivet gun + bucking bar, so with other things going on, it'll be a winter project.
If someone else makes the mods first, I'll be happy to hear the results. Wish I had unlimited funds, I'd redesign the chassis, but you do what you can do.rcgasser said:Ok cool all those sound like some great ideas.

If that big son of a b**ch was flying at me the brace on the bottom would be the least of my worries, lol.Chief409 said:I have a T-Maxx with a reinforced brace, but there's tons of ground clearance between the axles. This brace replaces the stock plastic brace. I've thought about using angle bracing under the chassis, but a) the limited ground clearance, b) doubt any track would let you run, because of damage to other rigs, and c) risk of serious injury if it ran over someone's foot or flew off the track. Same risk of c) bashing, too.To reinforce the back the brace will have to extend forward past the center diff, and all the way to the rear across the bottom of the chassis.
