I'm going to make a lipo chassis myself I think, I'll use the gt3 setup and I've ordered a 2s saddlepack battery to use in a std lab and the new chassis set up. It will largely stay the same design with the backend narrower and without the battery slots.

I just discover this car, the layout is quite interesting...
You may like my current prototype so (based on TF-FD)

Rclab gt3.5 lol lipo chassis well under way
Still need to countersink all holes and add holes for the diffs and motor cooling and add holes for the battery straps and servo once I receive it as I might move it in closer to the centre line now with the smaller servos available these days!
Cheers
Chris

Done other than a smaller rear belt this one is just wrong anyway, waiting on a new servo also before drilling holes and need to make some lipo L holders.

Well its all complete and ready to race this coming Sunday, Just need to change the battery connections and add a sensor wire to the motor.
Looking forward to seeing how it goes now

Ive had a friend measure both and yes the TA05 is well to small, 17mm between the bearings!
The TRF type though is 20.98mm while the Lab ones are 25.42mm so overall 4.44mm narrower, making 2.22mm either side which I think could be spaced out well to line up belt position.
Lab measurements are....
Overall = 55.37mm
bearing gap = 25.42mm
bearing face dia = 9.92mm
TRF ones
Overall = 51.77mm
bearing gap = 20.98mm
bearing face dia = 10.03mm

Seaball,
Technically,it makes good sense to do it with the Low Cg at rear when running foams on carpet.I don't run it that way,as I haven't found benificial for me yet.This is in regards with the plastic rear hubs.The new ones have one extra hole(total of 3 instead of 2) to drop it even further could be good.
Right now,the lowest hole is what I'm at with foams and rubber.If I were to have small foams(thin)I would drop it to the highest hole to compensate.To do that,I'll need a sponsor for foams...
keep truing them to that size.Sway bars in the frt would help too to keep it from jacking.I'll work on a better way to mount the frt sways so it work better without breaking the frt ball ends for the link on the frt lwr arms.Keep on coming boys........

oh i'll bring it, chrisman.
and yes, that sway bar issue does need attention. as far as the roll center goes, i don't know how comfortable i feel running a roll axis that tilts down in the rear. i want to sink the front hubs into the carriers! when i look at the car, i want to see the arms angle down to the bulkheads. mine go up with tiny foams. urghh. if the front roll center could be dropped, the car wouldn't roll over so much as it would tend to pull itself into the ground. overall roll may be greater, but the direction would be more downward. granted low roll centers require stiff setups, but i want my car to stay down just a bit more up front.
btw - i did learn how to moonwalk today thanks to a michael jackson special. now back to figuring this out.
lata folks.

Long time no post! But I'm still at it racing the lipo chassis one mainly, every other week at my local club. Planning to have a go at some national type events next year to see how it performs against a wider audience!
Making a few changes last night, struggling with turn in so reducing caster, right side showing the alloy parts being added, C carriers are 5 degree not 7 as std on the left.
