![]() Joining the Baja Buildoff and taking a new approach to my LR3. All I have to show is the chassis design and tubing made by bigdodge88. I will be using 1/16 Slash axles (independent) and a custom chassis also by bigdodge88. The internal roll cage will be made out of styrene for now (decorative purposes).
This will go into the 4WD Production Stock class. ![]() Two is always better than one. ![]() My old LR3 body, and a brand spanking new one, in the best color; black. ![]() Got me some SDI Grip Doctors! Test mounted the Doctores on the LR3, and the are a perfect fit wheel well wise. Just waiting on my rims. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() This is back, finally got the 1/16. It was a steal at $155 from my LHS. :nice:
I sold the CC-01, but I still have the two LR3 bodies, so I will keep one for any "oops" incidents. Anyhow, I am really stoked that the 1/16 Slash axles are the perfect width for the body. I will be sending the axles soon to bigdodge88 for him to make my chassis. Before I put on the LR3, I had this Mini Cooper body weathered by 7point2 that fit the wheelbase perfectly on the 1/16 Slash: ![]() Discovery 3 photos. Sorry, cell phone pictures: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The suspension is compressed halfway in the above pictures of the LR3. It has more ground clearance as shown in the second picture.

![]() Started to disassemble the Slash today. This is what the center driveline looks like:
![]() Here is the transmission removed with motor. I am surprised at how small it is! It is perfect for a transfer case in my opinion, so I will either use two Slash transmissions, one at the front connected to another one as the transfer case, or just a center mounted transmission. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then I removed the front axle from the chassis: ![]() ![]() ![]() I mocked up the LR3 with the axles to see how I was going width wise, and it is perfect. If anything, I might add a bit of spacing. The body will not be as high. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Started toying with the drive line layout: ![]() ![]()
