| Materials included: 3mm threadrod x8 1' lengths @ Approx 2.00ea. Approx a 6"x10" sheet of WELD 16g18 metal 8.00 Alloy tubing @ 3.00 each for 4' lengths (Need approx 2lengths) 3mm nuts,washers and screws @ 20.00 for all Then the rest which involved Clod parts: Axles and such as described on the website. I found the ESC to be the most expensive part involved at 200.00 CAD. **NOTE: I just added these costs into the website, Thanks for the heads up....I completely missed that part Last edited by Torredo; 05-21-2005 at 11:30 AM. |

Just to clarify this.... It is not sheet metal, it is WELD steel I used and it is Solid as they come. Goto your local candian tire or such and search for it. WELD 16G18 STEEL found in the same area as the threarod and other metals. | |

| Update! Not only did I insert the material costs for this project, I also have the Clod hardware costs involved and cleaned up a few things and added some more info on the "Build-up". If there is something you think would help, Please reply here and I will try to clean it up further. Im hoping this helps people out! |
