Default My First Crawler.....in 3D!

Hi all,
In the last 4 years have built some different frames and tubers and I have just finished the shape of my last frame which I present in 3D on RC Crawler France => http://rccrawlerfrance.com/viewtopic...p=24978#p24978

and I deposit to you a copy of it here

This is an outline because I go to improve it obviously.
The first step of the frame construction will be born soon

well, it will get rid of the torque twist...not much for adjustment is there.

worminator axles might save you a little fab time if you dont have to have as much clearance as your rendering shows. still alot though

How is the rear axle gonna articulate? its solid mounted with the motor/trans. Or is that the idea?

i like the design, looks like you can integrate, an R2D for disconnect geared close to 1:1, *caugh caugh @ RC4WD* and use RC4WD's Worminator axles as previously stated.

then you can sell off this chassis setup as a bolt up kit to that.

if possible try to make the rear links out of some material with some give for added articulation. thin Delrin rod possibly.

LOVE the design, good job.
I approve
