Finally got the wheels and suspension mounted and all the extra play out of them. Also the rear bearing supports and track tensioner in. Happy about the improvement so far. Feels strong. Put it through the paces and haven't lost a track in the testing of it.
Still need to finish the chassis bracing. I'm using sheet aluminum for the gear box mount and bottom hull reinforcement.
the front hull will be boxed separately but tyed together. A weight box will be added to improve on the balance frome front to back. Also to keep the nose down in the grass, or to help it get over obstacles easy. Not much more weight, but enough.I'm also looking into high guilty lab top speakers to place on top of the weight box.
My 4:1 pro boxes have been here, but put them in my S.P. to see how they run and work them in a little. I'm very happy with them and feel they'll make a good home in the mud dog.
