|  Designing a Frame. Here are shots of the frames i have been working on for a couple of months.i have gone through about 25-30 different designs to get to the ones that i am happy with. i do all the trial and error on the computer first.made a couple of prototypes and built a few trucks. sounds easy but takes alot of time coming up with the right set up. what do you guys think ? Check out my Vendors section with all the info on the frames. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35527 Last edited by ddiaz10240; 06-15-2006 at 08:51 PM. |

| Are you actually making the chassis that is closest to the camera on the bottom pic? That looks like it may work for what I am trying to to. I am assuming it uses Jugg leafs and shackles? Look good though, look beefy. |

| I always prototype first, to make sure the thing behaves well. Once I get the link mounts, shock mounts, tranny mouts, etc where they need to be, it's just a matter of playing connect-the-dots. Better to have an ugly prototype (you're just going to drill holes in it anyway) and a good final product than the other way round. Usings leafs instead of a 4-link makes your setup a lot easier, though. Looks pretty sweet. |

| Looks like some really nice machine work  I like the leaf spring mounts out of delrin, I bet you could sell alot of those here as there are quite a few tlt leaf springs builds going on. Keep up the good work, im sure the end product will be very demanding Mike |

| i cut these chassis out on a CNC router and use 1/4" 6061 t6 aluminum water jet would be way too expensive. |
