[douwe]

Nothing special yet..
Been collecting parts, drawing chassis and begging my wife for more hobbymoney

Part that are becoming ordered:
Beeftubes
XR10 c-hubs and knuckles (because i still have some vp weights) cvd's
Tekin FX-R and a nice 35t motor
Rear underdrive (ordered already)
Front overdrive
Steel Spur
Heavier outdrives

Links, and al platework will be designed by me and Tomy.

preview of the chassis



The Skid

Working with tomi? Wow, this is gonna be awsome

Chassis looks really good so far man!

[TSK]

Dope. That looks very simila to something I was sketching up for HARDKNOCKZ, except I had the rear shock made to lay down more. I would personally add one more front upper link position above the 3 you alredy have

What material for the side plates? CF?

I really like your design though. Fantastic work

[EverettY]

Hmm this should be good and that's awesome your working with Tomi he's a great guy to work with

[HARDKNOCKZ]

I think you whole just run this chassis instead: I'll PM
douwe & Tomy for you

[douwe]

Thanks Guy's
I stil need to figure out some things..
The mountingholes for the upperlinks on the axle mount.. How wide should i make them?? Just as wide as the chassis? Or wider or more narrow.

@thescorpionking i'll draw one more if you think that is better..
I have some crawling experience, but all of you together have much more ;)

Hope to get the polycarbonate test version in a couple of weeks.. This has no hurry for me.. The next comps here in the Netherlands i still running with my secret agent xr10.

And yes, Tomy is a great guy and can make some awsome stuff..
Hope this teamup will work out great... (been drawing some nice wheeldesigns or him lately, and that is working out great)

Btw My english isn't perfect, so i hope you all can understand what i'm saying lol

[douwe]

Just been drawing the rear linkmount.. ;)
hope you all like what you see.. otherwise....

[BuckImod]

looks really good! I've been hoping there would be some new chassis design show up!

Looks good. If those rear holes are an option for longer uppers, I like it alot. Depending on how widethe chassis is, maybe a little more triangulation might be helpful?

I'm excited to see this project develop

You are right, those rear holes are for long uppers..
The chassis will be as narrow as possible.. For the moment it's set to be 50mm But i hope to make it even smaller ;)
The rear holes are set at 53mm, so a little bit triangulation on the upper links.

Before it can be sold to the masses, I think it definitly needs some testing first .................................... by me

I have thoughts on it...
Maybe under the flag of NCD...
BUT!!!! Yes there are more BUT'S..

1... First we need to test everything
2... I'm becomming dad again at the end of this year, an i know someone
else is also becoming a dad again. So time will be a issue to produce
it in great amounts...
but we will see after some testing

[Tomy]

Looks great, Douwe!

I hope to have a test version sent your way by the end of next week.

Keep the great designs coming! You definitely have talent for it.

[Oz Bruiser]

Hey Mate is great to see you team up with Tomi. Tomi is a great guy to deal with over RCC and via email and im sure in person you get to see some really cool stuff

Look forward to what you guys come up with and i hope it gets done before new kids come along

[HARDKNOCKZ]

Thanks..

It's weekend again. so back to the drawingboard..
Tomi is going to produce a testversion one of these days.. So i hope to have it in next weekend..
Then it is time to think about the links.. And see if everything is bindfree.
Still have to wait for a lot of part till i can drive..

Also have to sell half of my ax10 here in the Netherlands (all i need is the axles, so away with axial cvd, swx chassis, axial bta and shocks)
