I am a bit upset, I really thought this chassis was good, especially with the new towers and bottom plate I made. I mean there was no problems with the middle part of the chassis where those parts are. It's the front and rear part where the bulkheads attach to. It is just a flat plate of aluminum with a lot of material removed in the middle to save on weight. When I look at the nitro Revo aluminum chassis, I appreciate the engineering that went into it. That hump all along the middle, the bent edges that go downward all along the sides and the numerous curves all come together to make a very solid chassis. It looks simple but it isn't. The Kershaw chassis is simple. Maybe too simple. The top plate of the Kershaw chassis is just a flat sheet of aluminum. I may order that new top plate from Dan, it is supposed to be a revised version of the revised version. A 2.3 version But it will still be a flat sheet of aluminum, easily bendable. If I get it, we'll see if it is better.

In the meantime, I bent back the plate I have now to where it should be and am working to incorporate parts of the nitro Revo chassis into the assembly of the Kershaw chassis to try to strengthen the front and rear portions.


No brain, no headaches.
