4) No middle belt tunnel
5) Motor fan
6) a bunch of weight forward
I am planning to mod my Sc10 4x4 nearly as much but in a different way. I plan to push this chassis as close to 50/50 weight balance as possible while keeping the overall weight as low as possible. Mind you that I am starting with a stock kit with NovaK Ballistic 550 4.5t motor. I plan to install a fan and run tall gears on the motor.
Hope to see some pics soon[/QUOTE]
I do plan to post photos and results. I cannot start the work until July so it will be a while cause I am in the middle of a move. So for now I can only plan what I will do.
That said, what I am planning is a sheet of carbon fiber sandwiched between the center chassis and front and rear sections. This will require milling on the interfaces so that I can insert the plate and cut everything correctly. I plan to buy a bench top drill press and a Mill adapter to cut accurately. I have always wanted these tools so why not!! I could get another chassis for the price of these tools so I must be crazy!!
