More to come later

You need to focus the camera... Teasing is frowned upon.

Mmmmm....delicious aluminum goodies....

So far i see an aluminum lower deck and some metal lugs. i wanna take a guess and say your going all alumimum?

Its a handcut chassis. My first one actually so its not perfect, the template i made werent 100% straight but its still fine.

And for now, There is only stock part on t. picture as soon as i get further.

Why alluminum?

I cant order online that much so i can't get cf.

And aluminum is light.

But what if you go too fast, and smash into wall?

That thing would be tin foil afterwards.

body isnt for look only :bigwink: and weres the axles are mounted, I've put a double layer of aluminum. so it dosent bend as easy.

Start counting the number of aluminum chassis out on the market.. ;) Plus with propper bracing, and learning to drive, it will hold up plenty fine.

If you do plan any CF later on, www.dragonplate.com is the best source for it. CowboySiR praises it highly on all his projects.

Alright thanks for the site.

Yep thats right, independant wishbone suspension on all 4 corners as suggested texan :)

Awesome, glad you ran with the idea. :)

And flexiable. You'll want some cross bracing with something, driveshaft binding is a PITA.

Looks great though. You want to cut me a copy when your done with it?
I won't need anything cut for batteries, motor mount, or electronics, just like what you have now?

nice! how much would one of them cost.

maybe spray the red arms black or silver.

Thanks:D

I'd be happy to cut one for you. But it would be in a while tho.


I might mount the servo and the motor on one side and the batteries on the other, that would be the best setup for the best CG as i can think of.

EDIT: I dont know yet but i'd say 5-10 bucks? If i get any better and get better tools, I might even cut some out of cf for peoples whos interested. But nothings official yet.

I dont know, i like the red accent to it
:nod:

Yah, I think that's the best you could do. I've been thinking of doing it up with the motor and the servo up front, batteries (Li-Po's) in rear at some point though...

Oh, and I like the red as well. Makes it different and really works with the alluminum.

looks cool so far. cant wait to see it finished

looks great. are you going to use a tirerod kinda thing to make sure the back knucles don't pivot?

Rear Steer..

haha. a HICAS gen 1 would be awesome
