|  orangeplug's 100 Post Build.
This is my 100th post and I had a idea for a chassis that I have been deciding weather to do it or no't,well I'm going to do it! This was the first plan i was going to do but i decided against it:  Now heres what I'm going to do: !*WARNING ROUGH SKETCH*!  Now this is a little better and a lot cleaner and much more organized.  Okay so heres the spec's: Hitec HS-55 servo Stock 4.8v Nihm battery Extended front drive shaft Extended top and Extended bent bottom links RC4WD Rock Crusher tires Wighted wheels Water proofed esc Okay now all of that is out of the way I need some help,What kind of material should I use for it that is easy to cut with the common house hold shop tools I.E dreamal, jig saw, hex saw, grinder and so on. Thank you for your interest in this thread and I look forward in the future of this. Last edited by orangeplug; 12-14-2010 at 08:52 PM. |

I decided against it because of the lack in mounting potions and it was mainly just a doodle,and thank you for the comment!

i like the 2nd. it's a clean and straight forward design sans the extra B.S... but i am w/ The Door, the 1st is freaking sweet!!! you gotta do something with that!!! just my 2 cents..

But I would say the extra b.s. Would be material. Looks like ya got just enough material left at the mounting points to give sufficient support. it appears that this really isn't a "nose" to this design. Which, IMO looks great. Will it work? I haven't a clue. I don't anything about design. It looks good...but come on. The first one looks sweet! I'm 31 yrs old, and feel half my age...so I'm around 15. How thick do you want the chassis? You could use aluminum, delrin, or carbon fiber. Hell I think some have even used u kitchen cutting board. There's a thread on here where someone made a sick chassis out of carbon fiber. All of which can be cut with common tools. Last edited by rik; 12-09-2010 at 06:22 PM. | |

| Shocks
Okay so tomorrow I'm going to be picking up the material for the chassis but for now a have a shock update. So I won't be extending the shaft at all but just the main rod or what ever you would like to call it but enough with the talking here are some pictures! Note that the tape is only temporarily their in-till the glue drys.     |

Well I didnt have time to make the chassis you can blame my science teacher for that errr but I did get the matriel and I did make the template for it and will be making it today hopefully and I forgot to mention in my last post that I will only be extending the front links, shocks and drive shaft becuase of the motor will be mounted in the back and since the wight will all be in the back I will try to fit the ESC in the front along with the battery if i have room that is for some good ol' low COG....Now enough with the talking on with the pictures I made the second shock and the glue had drayed and i also removed the springs it just looked goofy and it didn't work all that well....   And the chassis template....  PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE FEED BACK YOU CAN! GOOD OR BAD.... Thanks, orangeplug |

Well i ran into some problems making the chassis 1) being that the floor board was to thin to drill holes for the skid plate so i have to use the original chassis and 2) the build is at a hault because of one of my shocks broke and I need to wait for a week so i can put some money in my paypal account that is if i can make any money shovel the neighbors drive ways...stupid Christmas making me spend all my hard eared money on family....no i kid, its all worth it so yeah I do have pictures below so be sure to check them out.      |

| BIG UPDATE Well I was looking at my current chassis and i really didn't like the look of it,it just didn't look neat enough...so I started building another one and I finished it tonight and tomorrow I will make the other side.   I also made my extended bottom links for the front and they turned out pretty good and of right now the wheel length is 3.5 inch from the inside of the tires and 7.5 inches from the out side tries...and I also painted my wheels and I'm going to make my own bed-locks out of washers so i don't have to fool around with solider any more and also I want to thank rik for sending me his shocks I really appreciate it man,I really do!    |
