Time cutting, making it spot on and your speed is still in the same place for impact, the bumpers are higher than the chassis as I said

I do this sort of thing for a living so its more fun than hassle.
It would really bug me seeing the speedo vulnerable hanging over the side every time I look at it. And not looking isn't an option.

If you were god and had to live as a man, would you really have put the nuts on the outside? Na, didn't think so

i recently bought and installed the core 1s speedo , it fits perfect on the chassis , before this i used a novak gtb 2 , that did have overhand but not enough to frett about it getting damadged ......just go with the kit reccomendation , you will be fine

took some quick pics and i really think your going over board, car taking the hit has no body, car hitting has a foam bumper and body that would hit speedo EVEN if there was chassis protruding from the speedo

I Like the adjustable camber arrangement.

[mark christopher]

It's not for camber,camber is adjusted by different spacers under the lower plates, the turn buckle was something I added to see if it did what I thought not yet tried it out. But that front end is made for oval.

[Apricot Slice]

I didn't notice the trailing 'oval' arms.
Whats the idea behind the turn buckle?

[mark christopher]

Just wondered if it would do anything, not tried it yet

I think the best option to prevent the esc hanging over the edge it to buy a mardave. I do see where mr slice is coming from. It does look a bit over the edge. 2.4mm would be enough i think

ok how many tc cars do you see with the motor/lipo hanging off the edge, and how many actually get destroyed?

[Apricot Slice]

Mr Chequered Flag Racing's esc got destroyed.

[snail speed]

Granted the speeds are lower but having a esc only held on with just over half fixing it down any one would be worryed. The difference is a lipo is secured with tape and mountings. also a motor is screwed down. So they arnt going to move. To finish first you first must finish.

well im not worried bout mine, but then i use good tape! if your going to take a hit to take out my speedo the car is going to be busted more than the speedo.

and i doubt having grp all the under it would have stopped it! the bumpers ride higher than the chassis!

The further something sticks out, the greater the chances of it getting pinged off or broken. No two ways about it.

[Apricot Slice]

Think I will make a number of other adjustments while I'm at it.
Figure the battery could be moved back 5mm or so. Get rid of unused holes. New camber straps to give clearance for the servo mount posts. Not bother with area clearances for sub c cells, don't need them. Probably reshape the outer edge of the chassis. Shrink down the battery area a tad to fit my lipos nice n snug. Also was thinking about an alternative to Velcro.
CAD and CAM are such great toys.

Anyone know what gives the cleanest cut on laminates. Maybe a tungsten carbide straight flute cutter?

I would do some with what ever cuts it ok then figur out exactly what uou want then get it done by water jet cuttinh or even that rc cnc company ..
