It’s like you need quick-release everything for this car! Like Legos so you can reconfigure it for each event!

So…. I’m done fabrocating again..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

third go around on tranny mounts😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳.  I went back to the type 1 nose cone .  I adjusted the rear mount for proper engine angle and a less positive camber attitude😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎. Made some extra room for axle boots and I also repaired my worn out stock rear spring plate stops.  and BAM!!!  Getting there..

a few pics…

feeling good about my cars chance of making it to hammers….   Some good news got me pumped to work on it, I wanted to make sure I could do the couple things I wanted too before then, and it looks all doable…  👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The firewall,   Tabs..  need some…And putting the old tank on top of the tunnel  looks easy enough.. and two straps to hold her tight..

big tank, little tank..

I suggested “making” a stock tank work up front…. That went over like a turd in a punch bowl😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Did some mock up for this old 10 gallon desert tank…. Gonna be fine!  I have some simple and light weight ideas for straps….  Battery relocation is not an issue.  I could mount that tiny battery anywhere!

After I got my RC painted..  I started welding in some bars to hold up my gas tank. ..  saves me money to reuse this tank any ways 👍🏻  Now I question why I would ever run the little tank…. I got the weight lower and more forward now..   and more to the @inside@ if your building a car just for CRANDON 😘. I had to think and rethink my tabs and straps….  I think I got it finally 👍🏻
