My homemade bmvii knockoff

[dezfan]

Wally World, or one of those kitchen specialty stores in the malls or outlets.

[rcca]

how does the homemade chassis compare to the one sold by the vendors?

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

thanks dez! looks like that's where i will be going later today then!

[wiebs6]

yea I got the black cutting board at the locate grocery store

[wiebs6]

finally got the tranny installed

[Tanis]

Looking good man, I think there are going to be a bunch more of those chassis at the next comp, than there was at the last comp. I can't wait to beat it with the SW2.:-P Just kidding, it should be a contender.

[wiebs6]

yea I can't wait for the comp

[nik77356]

would you be willing to make one so i can buy it?

[wiebs6]

they sell them in the vendors section somewhere I think toyofast sells them

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

my mind was spinning while i was in the shower and i had a few thoughts on a chassis of this design:

1.) has anyone considered making one with between 1-3 more removable
wires in it for stiffness adjustablity?

2.) and has anyone considered putting sides on the center tranny mount to
lower the tranny for a nice low C.O.G.?

these are just a couple of thoughts i've had on this chassis i've been considering for when i build mine.

Hey I am waiting for my last two tlt kits to come in and i was thinking about building one and my question is, does it flex enough to crawl good?

[wiebs6]

I haven't had a chance to use it in a comp but I have seen them win comps before and for the price it just made sence to save the money

[TerribleOne]

Adding more wires would really just be adding more weight, the best way to have more adjustablity is to drill more holes in the plates. As the closer the wires are together the more flex you will have, or keep them spread out for less flex and a more stable setup. I was really hoping BM and RCrockgear would have added that, Maybe in the future?

I dont really see a point to get the tranny lower, its already pretty damn low. Any lower and you would be getting hung up on everything plus how they are setup now my truck will literally drive on its side, id say the cog is good enough

Dez, I don't think your first place in your last comp qualifies you to answer that question.
