Twistex
 

I have a design I've been working on for a while and finally got the bug to finish it. I can cut prototypes and put them up for sale if anyone wants them. For the most part this project is done, the only remaining issue I'm having is driveshaft binding that effects articulation in one direction only.

Hey Bud, Good to see ya still designing. Chassis looks interesting, different. Can you post some more pics of the front suspension? Looks like a lot going on there. :ror:

Re: Twistex
 

Thats Awesome. "thumbsup"

Re: Twistex
 

Looks interesting. A shot from the top would be great. It is hard to figure out which way is which with the flexy shots.

Re: Twistex
 

By far the most interesting chassis in forever.

How did this go uinnoticed for 3 months?

Cd13, what's up man. I'll post more pics on Monday. I'll have the tester trucks done and shipped out ASAP.

Rockedupricky, how's it going man?

Re: Twistex
 

Good, Looking forward to seeing ya again.

Re: Twistex
 

Yeah really?

Hi Kevin.

Re: Twistex
 

I see two pivot Axis and a torsion beam to locate. I want the deets and one made for AR60 axles.

Re: Twistex
 

It's going fine. I've just been here waiting for you to throw some fuel in the fire, it could use a flare up. :ror:

Oh my, :shock: I hope you didn't send that tester truck to my old addy, I've moved.

Re: Twistex
 

I've heard things could use a flare up! :)

You want a chassis too? I can send you one to try out.

Re: Twistex
 

That's crazy!




I like it. "thumbsup"

Re: Twistex
 

This looks interesting, is there any vidfilmyoutubefootage?

Re: Twistex
 

No video footage yet. Once these testers get sent out I'm sure they'll post up some footage.

Two testers have been sent out yesterday. I'm waiting on more hardware to arrive to package up the remaining three to send out. I hope you guys like it and I'm open to further development of the chassis. As stated there is the one articulation issue with driveshaft binding but the truck still crawls. Also, I think the addition of a damper setup with springs in a 50/50 configuration would benefit this rig. But even with these possible modifications the current design is still a fun operational chassis design.

Re: Twistex
 

Oh cool, I can't wait. :)

Re: Twistex
 

Any updates from those of you that recieved the chassis already?

Re: Twistex
 

CD13 is just getting started on his. I can't wait to get ahold of it. Mad Mike Manning and I are going to work on this together. "thumbsup"

Re: Twistex
 

Ricky, you should have yours soon. They shipped out about a week ago. I've also updated one of the parts already to make it a little stronger.
