Underground Crawlers XR-10 Chassis

[Tydl]

Its all coming together.

I can't wait.

[articzap]

Whats left? Delrin and cf?

[Jeepkid]

Its so close, I cant almost taste it. CF and delrin. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[bigstu]

Schweet. I can't wait for this to be available. I am ordering two, one for beating on and one for spares or ideas.
Going to be any order limits? I was thinking that I would post up some pics at my comp this weekend and see if anyone else was interested in this chassis.

I say spread the word. These chassis are the best thing since bacon in a bag.

ughh. Comp coming up Feb 2nd. Really hoping that by some miracle this is ready to ship this week, which I highly doubt.

It will be feb, but C.H.U.D. doesn't have a complete production model in his hands yet. I know as soon as possible he will post that it is ready, patients. It will be soon. Trust me, I'm as anxious as you.

[Jeepkid]

Lets not rush the man. I dont want him to put it out till he is damn well ready.

[PipeDreams]

Amen to that... I want this thing to be as good as the rest of the products UGC did. No half a$$ I think I can build parts stuff here. UGC has always had great performing stuff and this won't change that reputation!

Chud knows where I stand and he knows my offers. Regardless, you're right, you can't rush machinists.

I don't really want to put the truck together though without its final chassis. Don't know what to do. Maybe just skip this points event.

I doubt it too....I don't believe in misleading which is why I posted February 2011. If I could get this out sooner I would.

Take a ticket.....I'm on pins and needles with this one. I honestly think the wait will be worth it. Parts are on their way, kits are being put together and once Team Drivers have theirs, everyone else will too

It's not just me...Team Drivers have been testing and having their say as well.

DickyT would kick my ass if this was released with a half-assed effort.

The final parts are coming in, and this is scheduled for early February. We have been working out the details of DickyT's electronics tray. The Team Drivers have their first run prototypes, and this tray will be included in the final price. Here are some renders to show you what will be included.

Maybe a little, but that is a non issue

I like the electronics tray! Much better than the dremeled cutting board proto

SWEET

[DA1378]

This chassis actually makes me want to go bodiless.
And lets just say, its ONLY this one that makes me want to!

Looking good mate.

Is there any way that you can thicken the electronics plate closer to the lower link mounts and have a taper toward the forward most tip of the plate. I am sure you guys are all over this but it looks like it may fail if it gets a heavy knock in the wrong place.

[Darth Smoke]

Ive been watching this for the last few weeks, and I will say you have some awesome ideas and the work looks awesome, Ive been a cnc machinist for well over 14yrs working with plastics, and metals and this is simply top notch!!!!

It doesn't show well in the pictures above, but this shot may clear it up.....It is the same thickness as the skid, and has a chamfer at the front. Or do you mean tapered all the way to the leading edge?

[Tydl]

I think he imagines it tapered all the way to the end, but it is unnecessary mass.

The tray sits at the top of the links, and doesn't seem to get impacted, so it doesn't need to be thick.

[crawldad91]

this chassis looks awesome... whats the price on it when its ready... been lookin at mikes t1e i hear its comin out or out already.. but i realy like this one... top notch!

[Stormin2u]

This is an amazing design I'm liking how easily it breaks down when it's necessary to repair or maintenance great work Juan.
