| 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. Last edited by TURBOFEST; 12-24-2007 at 11:04 AM. |

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. |

| 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 |
