Dude that thing is awesome...now why didn't I see this thread before my G2R project!?

I see it holds 9 cells per side...Just think of the possibilities lol

The one peice lower plate looks like it will be extremely strong.

However, like previously said, why no VBS? That thing deserves a VBS.

Money issue's:(

Best E-Maxx I've seen. Truely amazing work.

yup, the update-ed shots just keep getting better!

Thank's. I'm working on it right now. More pic's soon.

I just got a question. I found a guy here locally which can water yet cut carbon. The only red carbon he can get is 2.2 mm's thick. Is this thick enough?

the gorilla uses 2.5 chassis. but this is for the top plate, so you may not need that thick. I, IMO try to go at least 2.5 though.

i think that 2.2mm is enough, you could always double the top deck for some strength

For the top deck that should be fine. 2.2 CF is still probably stronger then 3mm Alluminum.

Cant wait to see this thing....

Thats pretty sweet. The $120 was for materials alone, correct? Where did you get it from? How much machine time did that run?

The 120$ was for a complete chassis, laser cut it, bending and shipping. Only thing I need to do it drill/ tap/ countersink all the hole's and finnish the rough look. The friend who laser cut's it work's in a metal shop, he got acces to pretty much anything. From alum to titanium and stainless steel. Only thing he need's now is a 3d mill lol.

Serum and I had a conversation, everything is cool now. Just for the record, Serum did help designing the chassis.
But not the flame's, flame's are mine!:036:

That ok Rene?:005:

Lol, yeah, ofcourse Sicco.

We did a nice job.. And you did a great job on the flames as well.

You guys are really amazing! Kudos to both of you!

Thanks Sylvester..

We exchanged quite some smiles when we where designing it..

More since it's a real chassis now, allot better than a 3d preview in solidwork's.

Ok time for a little update. Thank's to Leroy's idea I got the steering sorted now. It's a little brace that goes on the ue servo saver. Thank's allot Leroy!

This allow's me to put the servo flat on the lower chassis plate, under the output of the center diff.

It work's like a charm. The finnish is a bit rough now, since I was just prototyping this idea. It need's cleaning up, such as loose the ugly blue draglink and get some carbon tube to cover the m4 thread. Also let's not forget to drill and tap the hole's in the servo mount.

You have to do with this for the upcoming week's, i'm going to italy next in 9 day's and not really working on the chassis.

Let me know what you think. Suggestion's/ idea's are welcome!
