BEAUTIFUL! Great work microgoat. I may have to sell some things to get the $$ for the chassis, I will admit I thought the price you had posted before was steep, but it looks to be well worth it. Great work!

Must be nice to have the CNC do all the work. I have to mill everything by hand. The way a machinist would do it. Not a computer geek.

Just kidding. Thats freakin awesome work man. I made a ladder frame but it came out a bit treaked. I think I'll sell it.

rck, if a machinist did this by hand, he'd charge me a grand, and then he'd break both my legs. When you see how this all fits together jigsaw-style you'll see what I mean.

4x4XJ · 01-07-2006, 09:05 AM

wow that sure is one fancy looking chassis you gots there. Looks like something gmade would produce. Great work

Unimoger · 01-07-2006, 10:31 AM

Nice work Goat, very impressive. Always nice to see another guy utilizing the CNC in their shop.

rckjeep · 01-07-2006, 04:22 PM

I know Goat, I'm taking a machining class currently so I know how much work would be involved. CNC's are so nice, if you have access. If not you tend to hate them. In a jealous way.

microgoat · 01-07-2006, 05:33 PM

I really wish I could take credit for the CNC work, but all I did was draw the thing (with a pencil, no computers were involved). I've got a few bucks in these prototypes, most of it in programming.

Seeing the pics makes me want to go back to school and learn this stuff for real. I envy the skills a real machinist takes for granted.

When the real deal gets here I'll probably have to change my shorts. I'm severely excited about this thing.

slugzracing · 01-07-2006, 07:53 PM

Since the prototypes are junk why not send a set my way for "testing"

They look good

Knytemare · 01-08-2006, 12:27 AM

Yea I too thought it was a steep price when I first read this post but now Im saving my money for one. This is just one awesome looking frame! Any time frame on when they will be available for sale so I know how long I have before I gotta pony up the dough?

NorCal 2500HD · 01-08-2006, 12:43 AM

nice work....looks great

microgoat · 01-08-2006, 04:17 AM

I should have the prototypes in about a week, give or take, and I'll know soon thereafter how much tweaking is needed for the production version. Not too much will be my guess.

I'll start a thread in Vendors to discuss the selling details.

XSRCdesign · 01-08-2006, 11:57 PM

ok.. uhm wow.... i better build those nib tlt axles ive had for months...

microgoat · 01-11-2006, 08:40 PM

The finishing touches are going on today, and it ought to ship out soon. With luck I'll have it early next week.

Here's the skidplate, before finishing (yours won't say Prototype). The raised pad is where the tranny sits.

JasonInAugusta · 01-11-2006, 09:11 PM

Nice!
