Mojave 6s roll tower pins to move the roll cage into the right position.

Not
When is the first run?
Not sure.
First, i want the side guards on somehow.
Since the holes don't line up, i may have to drill and tap some new holes.

Edit:
Am i dumb?
Drill and tap in the chassis??????
How about just drilling holes in the composite guards???
🤔🫤👍

After trying some things with three different side guards, i went for the wider Asuga guards and i fiddled the Shiroi side bumper on.
One side done.
There's plenty of room in the chassis now!

I was gonna say id avoid drilling the sideguards if can, I did to fit battery straps before & plastic very soft in a heavy hit I reckon they’ll pull through it. But with all that space now you’ll have plenty room for battery’s. I’m currently in process making bigger battery tray. Wasn’t quite happy with my 1st effort 2nd underway.

I made two battery trays out of aluminium L profiles, to fit 6800ma 6s batteries flat under the bodies of my Asugas.
They look like crap, but they fit nicely. They are heavy, though. I am thinking of drilling some holes to save weight. I'll post a picture later.

The Corally battery trays are not sturdy enough to hold big batteries. I have broken the front off of all of them.
I like your idea of making trays out of CF.
Are those waterproof? Because i rinse my cars after every run.

Even if it did fit it would not offer as much protection from debris as the Asuga sideguards even with slots cut in them for a larger motor and ESC.
On the Asuga they work well to keep debris out, because the body fits snug to the guards. On an sct, high or low guards don't really make a difference, unless the top of the guards touch the under side of the body. Otherwise debris will still fly into the chassis.
 
The centre diff is in different location on kagama your gonna need front/ rear centre driveshafts also to put it on kagama chassis. But look fwd to seeing the build.
It turns out that the Kagama chassis offers both motor mounting positions, as well as all the holes for the different bracing styles. Both double rear upright tower braces, and the Kagama system. I think it can even fit the Asuga braces.
My first test run of the finished car on the Muraco chassis was frustrating.
The rear input cup came loose and the drive shaft went flying.
Now i have to tear the rear end apart again.
Might as well transfer everything to the Kagama chassis then.

The rear chassis braces on kagama are the same used on older lwb models same part no.s but not convinced the motor mount can be put in different positions looking at drawings online I don’t see the holes for it unless there’s different versions of the chassis. If drive cup come loose id replace the grub screw so maybe not dealing with same issue again once fixed.

Put a strap of nylon hanger tape around it lengthwise screwed in place on the front and rear verticals with countersink screws facing inward and adhered on all sides with marine epoxy (marine epoxy being the only thing I've found that will effectively glue nylon). You can countersink the holes with an M3 flat head screw that has a slot cut in the side of the head and a dremel tool, the head will eat a perfectly fitted countersink into the plastic.

Nope. You are right. Just one motor position and it's more towards the rear compared to the Muraco.
I am still comparing parts. I am considering to swap my current creation to the Kagama chassis. I will then use the Asuga center braces and drive shafts to finish the car.
After comparing the different side guards, i don’t understand why Corally made new guards for the Shiroi. They are narrow and even with the nerf bars on, the body is much wider. I think the Asuga guards are a better fit.

The centre diff location is different on the Asuga compared to kagama chassis the chassis braces& driveshafts from Asuga won’t fit kagama chassis. The centre diff is even further back on Asuga , rear driveshaft only 112mm , kagama 137mm I think. I’ve looked at both when planning out my next build as I’ll be changing my centre diff location.

I just looked. The Asuga chassis is shorter than the Kagama's and Muraco's.
Diff locations vary. Braces are different.
It looks like every new model gets its own lay out. Not much is interchangeable anymore.
Does that mean that when i buy a Shiroi chassis, non of the Corally upgrade parts from previous models will fit?

They not as compatible as the older corally models where they all shared the same basic layout within chassis, some criticised corally for this in past saying their models where all same just different bodies but plenty parts still compatible and upgrades will fit. The shiroi is basically a kagama with shorter arms, different bumpers, sideguards, bodyshell & rear plastic chassis braces removed. So if want to upgrade or add any parts just look at kagama parts. But for the kagama not many upgrades available except for 7075 parts corally do & what adu offer. Adu only company that does 7075 chassis braces & steering deck for kagama. But anything you’d want to upgrade you should be able too , only part not available for it in 7075 atm is the shock towers, I’m sure someone will make some for it but being a sc truck the shock towers more protected so maybe not as necessary as on other models.
 
Ok guys. I got the car up and running.
The Asuga hinge pin mounts are on.
They are stronger than the thin plates on the Muraco and Radix. I can't screw the mounts to the chassis as intended, because i stuck to the stock Muraco chassis.
I will be ordering some more of those to put on the Muraco truggy and Radix as well.
7075 front and rear chassis braces and chassis stiffener, the aluminium steering plate and upper arm mount and steering stiffener are on the way.
An esc extension cable is also ordered.
The blue/white/orange body has already been approved by my oldest daughter.
I will grant her the maiden run when she is here for the weekend.
 
After some runs and contemplating what to do, i decided to move everything over to the Kagama chassis, because of Corally's way of screwing the hinge pin retainers to the chassis. It takes the stress off the composite bulkheads.
Now the center drive shafts don't fit anymore, so i went through the parts bin and i found two shafts i could use. I did have to put some rings in the cups to prevent the shafts from popping out, but they are held in place nicely now and they move smoothly.
Also none of the braces i have here from various other models fit.
I am waiting for the ADU bracing kit for the Kagama. Thanks for the suggestion Nelson.81!
