Default Finished my 2.2 chassis...

Well, after a couple weeks of design and alot of CAD drawing I finally spent some time this weekend and put all my design efforts to the presses...Have a look see.

The chassis definetely takes some design cues from other well known chassis, but with some revisions of my own. And, I just like makin my own stuff.

-1/8" 6061 aluminum side plates
-3/8" delrin baseplate (courtesy of uncle sam ;) )
-its pretty narrow at 2.5" wide and extremely lite!






I'm pretty fired up on it...it came out better than I thought it would.

Nice works, looks cool.

How did you cut it, by hand, mill?

Thanks, from you thats a great compliment.

I used the usual homebuilt crap...band saw, drill press, some lathe work for the cross braces and alot of dremeling and filing for clean up.

Are you going to but button heads on there to hold the skid on? Cause if not they are going to get hung up on stuff.

Default Work In Progress...

Thanks guys!!

Heres a couple updates...

I made some servo plates / 4 link upper mounts and some threaded rod "mock up" links just to get the lengths I need. The plates came out good and it articulates very nicely...not too much, not to little...just right!

I only have one axle built..lol
