i'm curious as to the length of the front arms................and why so long?
what wheel base are you looking to achieve?

peter henry

king cj · « **Reply #204 on:** December 04, 2006, 12:49:07 PM »

why not all the shock loads are going to be hitting the same point on the chassi so it can be beefed to hell round there, the wheelbase is 110 so the wheels stick out front and rear just a bit

king cj · « **Reply #205 on:** December 04, 2006, 12:53:47 PM »

we were just playing to see if there was any binding in the links

looks as you have mounted the engine and gear box further to the rear, is that the case and if so why?

peter henry

king cj · « **Reply #219 on:** December 21, 2006, 11:11:14 AM »

no, the engine and gearbox are in the stock location

isle of man · « **Reply #220 on:** December 21, 2006, 11:13:23 AM »
