Finally an update!

At my friend the cutting does take to long. So I managed a professional CNC specialist for my chassis. He made a sample off the upperdeck and chassis, out off 1mm steel, to see if all the parts fits. I don't let the other parts cutting out, because I can see if it fits, by simply printing it out on a paper 1:1. So the most important parts I have now.

The chassis needs to be a little tweaked for a perfect fit. But that is easy! I let the complete chassis be cutting out soon. Out of 7075 and 6061 aluminium.

Here are the parts that I use for the Truggy:

Carson: center diff, front/rear diff with housings, spoiler mount

HPI savage: 123mm stock dogbones for center-rear/front, complete front and rear suspension, steering setup

Dace: 23mm hex

Pro-line: spoiler, 40 serie bowtie with wabash rims, crowd pleazer 2.0 body

Ofna: shocks

Custom: four shafts for the suspension. They need to be 3mm shorter than the HPI bones. I need to find a person/company for that. I know rcalloys. But I want one in the Netherlands.


Let me know what you think of the chassis so far? Any tips?


NOTE: the chassis is out of 1mm steel. The shocktowers are made by myself. The wheels need to be adjusted.

Lookin' good Jasper!!

the rear wheels need toe in, not toe out.. :)

Did you had him cut a motorplate as well?

this is 6061 aluminium, right?

Yes I was curious about the motor plate too

Eeh, just read what I wrote guys...

nothing about a motorplate.. Or do you want me to go thru the other 3 pages as well?

you said to me on MSN you had them made out of 6061, that's why.

Rene, I managed a professional CNC guy for the truck. So not the the boy from metaalbewerking :) Because he can't get it finished. In case of the vacation...

This chassis is not out of 6061 alu, but 1mm steel. As you can read in my post ;) It is a sample. To see if it all fits. When I got all the bugs out off it. I give him the sign to cut every part. Including the motormount.

Nice!!! Custom chassis!!!

can you explain the difference between a professional cnc guy and a person who has the ability to use a laser? this sounds kind of weird to me. If you have got the machinery, it's rather professional to me..?

Looks great,do you plan on having some front kick-up though?

Thanks guys!

Yes, I plan on making a front kick-up. I just have to bend the place off the front diff. Right?

The schoolboy had the ability to a mill and lath, not a cnc laser. He cut the chassis and upperdeck. But there were a few mistakes in the parts. And it took about two month to make that parts. And now he has got vacation and can't do anything. So now I managed alu-cutter, from rcracingcars, to CNC laser my stuff.

Here is the finished chassis! Complete assembled!

Weight rolling chassis without electronics/tires: 2,4kg

Material: all the parts are made out off 7075 aluminium.

The chassis is bended for extra strengh. (just like sneeck flamemaxx chassis)

The chassis is very stiff. The truck can take some abuse! :D

Chassis: 3mm
Upperdeck: 3mm
Shocktowers: 3mm
Motormount/right center block: 8mm
Battery straps: 3mm

Let me know what you think!

Nice conversion you got there Jasper. Just curious, why 4 tower's?

Hope we can race on the next rc-rc bash somewhere in september.
