Default trying to design another chassis.
I was playing with my other chassis, and i don't like that when I go forward the chassis go up something like the links go to inside, and when I go in reverse the chassis go down, and links go outside. I was trying to figure why is tha happening.

So end download freeware CadSTD it is a 2d software.. I like the X that is in local 4x4 1:1 shop logo, here in my city. www.roadx.com

So I end with this design what do you think ? this one could work ?

Well here is the final design i already order to cut this one what do you think ?




It's gona be on aluminium #16 laser cut

Using my already made links I will be able to adjust my wb from 16.5 up to 18.5

BTW: if someone want the file for one of the designs let me know and i will share it, it's in autocad now by saturday i will have the final chassis.

I appreciate all your coments... And for those that are saying that RC4WD have one like that. Then i feel more confident that i will work awesome , because i never tryied to make a knock off or something like that. So you guys think that it will work good ?

BTW: I will not try to sell this kind of chassis or something like that. So don't take me wrong on that. As i mention above if somebody want the .CAD file i will share it for free. with the Radioactive logo or with out..

PS: This hobby is coming very addictive and i haven't ever run my crawler. I don't want to imagine when i run this ugly duck lol

Cheers

we didnt say you was knocking anyone off just looked like it. its not a bad idea adjustable wheel base monting holes for any shocks you can think of. just make a plate to hold your esc and rx. battery place lowest you can or on the front upper links

Youre holes arent 3mm do theythey look very big and way bigger than the rod end itself.
Wy does the chassis flex along with the shocks?

Yeah you are right the holes aren't 3mm that's why i'm using washers. !! I screw it when sending the file !! but there is another pair of plates on it's way with the correct size of the holes.. And the guy that cut this didn't know that the holes must be 3mm... It is my first time doing a chasis and also using a cad software lol

Why the chassis flex with the shocks i guess because are to tight ? Also those are the stock clod shocks? Or what do you think could be the reason ?

Your chassis is flexing because you need more support. From the way it looks, theres only 2 standoffs. You need atleast 4, maybe 6 to be safe.
