The Cheater Chassis - Victor O-N-E"Over - No - Excuse"
The Victor O-N-E chassis is a frame forward design. The frame forward design helps you achieve a greater break-over advantage than most center skid chassis designs. The Victor O-N-E chassis moved frame to the middle of the front half of the trucks wheel base. With a 4.75in tire, your leading edge of the chassis will sit about 1/2in rearward of the lowest point on the chassis. Immediately followed by a 20 degree skid and high arching rear lower-links will help you conquer the toughest of break-overs. Now there is no excuse for not making it over that obstacle!
Drive Shaft Requirements:
Rear Drive Shaft Length: 160mm +/-
Front Drive Shaft Length: 90mm +/-
Link Lengths (Capra Axles / Element Axles / VP F10 Axles): These measurements are Eye-to-Eye
Front Lower Links: 81mm (Straight)
Front Upper Links: 72mm (Straight)
Rear Lower Links: 178mm (Double 22 degree bend 36mm from link eye)
Rear Upper Links: 154mm (Single 22 degree bend 36mm from link eye)
I recommend a nice set of 6mm Brass Lowers and Delrin Upper Links or TI Links with brass on the Axle to adjust weight/bias. This keeps the truck light but not so light you tun into traction issues with most standard foams, and Mini-T Type Springs. Keep in mind, the less the truck weighs, more turning will be required on your tires, foams, and spring-rates.
Base Setup:
This chassis was designed with a few key factors in mind to achieve around 120% Anti-Dive and Anti-Squat. If your configuration is close to the factors listed below, you should achieve the same performance results I have.
Tire Size: 4.75in Tires
Wheel Base: 12.5in
Weight: 4lbs
Weight Bias: 55% Front, 45% Rear
Front Foam: Soft
Rear Foam: Medium
What Axles are a good fit?
We have done all of our testing with the Axial Capra and Element Portal Axles. With that said, Element and SCX-10ii axles are very similar in link geometry. Both the Element and SCX10ii Strait Axles will work well with this kit also.
Best Battery:
The battery foot print on this rig is pretty small. Since the chassis is designed as an ultracompact competition chassis you will need a small battery. Most Lipo batteries 2 or 3S 850 or smaller batteries will be a perfect fit.
My personal favorite is the Helios RC 3S or 4S 850 - https://rcaddict.com/collections/helios-rc/product...
If you want even more compact, you can use the Helios RC 3S or 4S 460 - https://rcaddict.com/collections/batteries-1/produ...

Due to the nature of 3D printing, printed items may contain tiny blemishes. Trimming and painting may be required for best fit and finish.
IMPORTANT: Do not use power drivers on 3D prints. Over tightening parts and cause cracking, crushing, and stripping. Driving screws too fast can cause heat that can make a part to break prematurely.
