Got my Midgard Truscale, and have started the build.

Not quite sure if this is the setup I want, but it's getting there.

I really need more WB than this. (250mm)

R2 tranny is on it's way from RC4WD, but I don't know if it's going in this one or my HL yet.

Been working a little bit more on the chassis now.
Now the WB is more like I want it.

Pete, the frame is coming along very nicely. What are the pros and cons of that chassis?

Wildtrail, that jeep looks great. The tall wheels remind me of the old army jeeps.

He's asking you what are the good points and the bad points of the chasiss?
i hope that this helps you.:D

McFig

07-17-2008, 03:09 PM

Sorry, didn't realize I wasn't being clear

Basicly what DaKillSwitch was saying.

What do you thing are the best parts and the worst parts of the chassis? What do you really like about it and what would you change?

I'm just looking for more information for myself and others that are thinking about getting that frame.

Pete359

07-18-2008, 03:01 AM

Now I'm with you.
There's nothing I would change on the chassi.
I found it very easy.

Midgard does not have there own webshop, but you can send "baremorten" on www.norcc.com (http://www.norcc.com) a pm with questions or orders.
He's the man that makes this nice chassis.

I will send him a pm myself, about how to ship to US.

Nice looking build there! It looks like you used a Traxxas transmission?

I have a Bandit that I was thinking about using for parts to build something else.

How's that working out for you? What did you use for driveshafts?

Pete359

09-03-2008, 05:30 AM

The Traxxas transmission works great!
Driveshaft is Traxxas 1951 and drive yokes 4628X.

Thanks, I'll have to look into getting one for a future project, being a Norwegian-American I really like to buy products made in Norway, usually because the quality is tops and the design asthetic appeals to be.
