nice work!! one suggestion i would make is to either chamfer or fillet the bottom a bit more (it's boxy edge might get hung up...) or... run the skid plate all the way out the the edge with a nice chamfer/fillet on it... also... don't forget to run a bead of CA along all of these cut edges, so you don't get splintering.... |

looks very good. I think that you should make the skid plate out of delrin. Not only is it slippery but it is a little heavy and will keep the weight low.

I don't usually comment on people's builds, but that is gorgeous. The thin skid, with larger area for the screws is a nice touch. What is the thickness of the CF and do you have any more info on how you designed/machined the chassis? Manual/CNC? |

Nice design, I like the backbone for bending stiffness and the fact that it's just three different components, how is the torsional ridgidity?

Bender. You simply amaze me, I sent him some suggestions/opinions, and asked if he was going to sell these as a vendor, and if he needs help, or a tester Id tear apart my certain TLT to run this chassis this summer. Im not out for a free product. Ill pay for a prototype. Last edited by TLTCrawlin; 05-14-2007 at 08:01 PM. |

I don't see a blue vendor's star, so he shouldn't be selling anything. And this design looks very familiar to me too.  | |

Looks like a p4+XRC hybrid to me.

Regarding the chassis It's CNC machined and I did it with some scratch 2mm CF plates I got in my garage, It whould work better with 3mm CF but I don't have any now. I used the 3 pieces desing before in a Clod chassis and rigidity was pretty good, I've adapted the idea as it gives a unique design tough. Thank's for the technical advice guys, I'll make the radius on the bottom nylon plate by the way this is the 3 pieces clod chassis I did some years ago, I thing I allready posted it in the Clod section.

i get the CF in a local manufacturer, they make custom bike parts, it's not a cheap CF but It's good www.carbonoracing.com , you will not find any dimenssions because they custom cut the plates under customer requirements, I've bought up tu 5mm thickness plates, I don't know if they ship overseas.
