Im working that, but it isn't the priority. If it goes right, it will be adjustable.

Yes

i have it pretty much planned out in my head.. just making it a shaftless RWD i kinda throwing me off, i should be able to get some drawings in today.. then if i have time, ill move them into rhino, then move on from there

[brettley]

can i ask what rhino is?

rhino is a designing program used by jewelers, my dadd being a jeweler, he has it, i think it also makes cutting the product out of a cnc machine easier, but not sure, xxx can answer the cnc part more than i can, well cause he OWNS one lol.. i dont

I don't own a CNC machine.... I cut my CF by hand with a scroll saw and other hand tools. I know a guy with a 3 axis router, who is going to be doing some cutting for me from now on, but he can't do CF, only plastics and foam... so the CF will still be by hand.

[brettley]

Hm. I use autodesk to do my cad work. And I hapen to be doing the cad stuff for tripleX. And since were on the topic of chassis howd that cad drawing work for you tripleX?

Thanks, it is very time consuming... And six if I mess somthing up because I have to start over. If you invest in a scroll saw $50-$75 and a dremel... U can do ur own stuff with some patience. I just got the little skil saw attachment for the dremel, and that thing works great...

Brett, the Chassis looks great. I want to add somthing, but well talk.

i have the dremel but i lack patience.. especially for long periods of time.. and i dont have a very steady hand.. i think the extra $10 to have it CNCed is worth it, because a) it wont have any mistakes(unless i do some calculations wrong).. and it will be well cleaner that what i could do

[brettley]

i have a dremel too, its one of those wireless ones with the ajustable speed. I was actualy thinking about dremmeling out some parts on my gen 1 Xmod to lighten it, but not making new parts, i dont think im capable of doing something like that.

[mycrors4]

small update:
This is what i got around to doing so far.. made the main chassis.. most probably gonna look similar to that... still cant think of a shaftless RWD for the gen1's, but i will be making an aluminum one for my supra :-p

[brettley]

what exactly is shaftless RWD for gen1? is it RWD withoud that ****ed rod that goes all the way thru the chassis to the front?

yep.

[reaper]

take a gen 1 front wheel stub (2wd) pass it though the rear bearing and glue on the crown gear

shaft-less rwd

[brettley]

is it realy that easy? that makes me wana try it!

we are trying to think of way to make it switchable from 2wd-4wd LOL but that works too
