RE: Upgraded Chassis

Hey Josh,

I'm actually using Emachineshop's CAD software. I don't have access to a CNC myself but they offer machining services. and they're right in NJ so I can go there if needed.

Thanks...

RE: How "notchy" should my diffs be?

Yeah I know about the upgraded towers. I just don't think the aluminum redcat uses is all that strong. If soft damp dirt bends them, I'm sure some hard pack would bent the upgraded ones too.

RE: How "notchy" should my diffs be?

There is a tiny bit of play like you said. maybe too much?
