Eagle Racing TT02 FRD: Finishing up the Chassis

I had a little bit of a delay finishing the chassis up, because I needed a longer sensor cable for my Speed Passion 10.5 motor.  While I was waiting, I went ahead and made a simple mount for they gyro.  It is made from a small piece of extruded aluminum.  I like mounting the gyro this way, because I can mount it more securely to the chassis using the bracket.  I also use two pieces of double sided tape on the back side to minimize the vibration that the gyro sees.  I have had good results using this method.

Next was adding some body mounts.  Up front, I added some generic 6mm body posts to the bumper using the holes already provided.  They are perfect spacing for the Eagle Racing stealth mounts.

The rear proved to be a little more challenging, as the stock body mount holes (square ones) were not at a good distance apart to work with the stealth mounts.  Also, the square holes are big enough that the base of the mount will pass right through them.  Ultimately, using the outward most shock mounting holes, and the right combination of spacers (included in the mount kit), a good solution was achieved.

I tried to make the wiring neat and tidy.  Once I get the chassis setup and am happy with the layout, I may go back and try to clean it up even more.

My well used D-Like GT86 body fits perfect.  Ready for battle!
