RE: Fancy a FunFactor 6061 ARO chassis?
Some of the holes that I marked are needed for some of the stock componets. They weren't the ones that aren't need. The reason I asked is for a project that I have in mind and I will not need them and they could possibly be in the way.
I think the extra width would be nice for fitting aftermaket fuel tanks and Rx/bat boxes and a 1/2 inch on each side won't interfere with the body. If anything it will seal it up better.
Having the sides bent really isn't necessary the JT chassis flexes very little. Remember this is a one piece chassis that is going to be nearly twice as thick as stock, the majority of flex from the stock chassis is from where the front bolts on to the rest of the chassis.
The holes for the spurs need to be left. It would be more damaging to spur gears if it is removed. I will take a much smaller rock to strip them.
The one thing that I would really like to see is the extra width. I can deal with anything else, especially since it won't be anodized and I can weld the holes closed if I need to.
Does anyone know how long the center dog bone is on the Magnum? If it is only a couple of mm's it might not be worth it to have a chassis to accomodate the Magnums center dog bone. But the extra length would be nice.
