sorry i havent updated this in a while...
Very limited progress up to this point:
CF base plate chassis is complete and ready for parts layout
I have back filled a couple rear micro-t pivot blocks (they are hollow to slot onto the gearbox) with an epoxy/cf mixture to create some solid blocks. I will be halving them and mounting them below some gen1 xmod gearbox towers to give the arms an oem mounting look....no ghetto custom work for me.
Just to give you an example of where I hope to head with this project...imagine the photos on this link in 1/28th scale.
