The Trailantula

Got main structure for the top done tonight, Corys dragon and all of his hard work R&Ding this made easy work of this! Gonna change the front of it to match my likings but the rear was perfect to me.

Here’s mine on the table

And here’s Corys #4 chassis that came back to get the drivetrain mounted in.

She’s getting closer to a roller status lads.

Link tabs with spacer that’s .003 wider than a heim with misalignments 👌

Corys cool little table jig that sets the lowers nice and flat with the belly 👌👌

And the rear has links. The actual links will be hest treated 2x.25 4130 chromolly and the upper will be chromolly as well. Tomorrow we will get the upper brackets designed and burned in too 👌👌👌

This may be a stupid question but I’ll ask it anyway. Why are you running the upper link heirs on the horizontal plane instead of vertical?
Easier to mount and they wont care. Uppers should only get loaded in and out really and there is plenty of missalignment in them. Lowers should be mounted conventionally since they see high side loading when smashing boulders.
