Magnesium Chrysler 300C body on an xmod.

replaced all these plastic bonded parts with gpm alum
steering knuckles/tie rod and upper a-arms in the front and for the rear, the axles and cup joints.





and for Bling. modified a Kyosho Magnesium Chrysler 300C Hemi body + chrome rims to fit on the xmod. this thing has major detail.

batteries on my camera are dead so i'll just describe it.

thin strip of metal bent in a small vice in a "Z" shape. adjusted it so that the front wheels are centered and at a good height. one end has two holes drilled in it to attach to the stock mounting holes on the chassis.

took about 5 minutes.

now for the rear mount.
well, the mini-z bodies have side mounting tabs behind the doors.
well i just trimmed them down enough so that it "grabs" and secures itself between the two AAA batteries, just aft of the center battery clip on each side. works perfect. i doubt id ever drive this body with the lithiums so thats all i needed to do.

that was another 5 minutes.

i drove it around the room being very carefull not to hit anything. yes it is too nice to drive.
the body is tight enough that full speed blasts and drifts to not disturb it.

I posted a picture in the Camaro Gallery showing a Camero Xmods body that I fitted to a Mini Z chassis. It is nice to know I am not the only one mixing and matching bodies and chassis.
