Default RE: REVISED 2-speed shaft drag chassis

Well after a pain in the butt for trying to get my centex clutch to work and the tires not hit the gears with this set up that you see above, I ditched it all-together for a new design. It is a centered trans with a driveshaft to extend the motor away from the tires and now I can even bring the wheels in closer to the diff case and use my centex clutch and all without any issues. Of course the carbon fiber is useless unless someone wanted to do a chassis like I had but then you can't use a centex clutch but you can a regular 3 shoe clutch no problem. This chassis will use a side pipe instead of a boat pipe too.

Anyways, I will order a new carbon fiber plate tomorrow, cut it out to the new template and get this thing finished up and ready for some testing. Here's a few shots of it beside my Walbern belt driven chassis.
