The GCRC Caiman OGv3A UK2/3 - RTR Build Chassis Rails (T6 6082 Aluminium)
Design Requirements Brief: Gareth Curtis of GCRC with Team Driver input
Designer: Adam Bravuso of Spare Time Hobbies
Manufacturing: UK Made from T6 6082 3mm aluminium proven in the C1
The Caiman C2C3 Edition has been designed around modern progressive geometry but allowing a straight swap over from an Axial CAPRA (2ws or 4ws) to create a highly capable LCG bringing your centre of gravity down significantly by lowering the transmission and getting rid of that heavy cage. The direct Capra compatibility means the conversion takes minimal effort or knowledge. Everything transfers over, meaning all you need to sort is a body and body mounts of your choice.
The platform fully supports custom builds with most axles and skids for other transmissions.
The chassis is designed around an 8 degree angled skid with levelled transmission to improve the driveline. Links are best equal front and rear, but again it can accommodate custom lengths. High clearance rear links will increase the benefits of the sloping skid further.
The shock positions are best with a high percentage of front droop, the rear is designed to be sloping not laydown like a hoopless rear or as upright as most LCG chassis. Dependant on wheelbase, particularly if stretched, you may find longer shocks are required for the rear if not using the stock Capra ones.
Chassis rails are cut from quality 3mm T6 6082 aluminium here in the UK.
Wheel base with stock Capra links is 12.5”
