Thanks guys, your comments really mean a lot to me. :)
My friend did the bits of CAD work as a favour, and then he sent me the DXF files to get plasma-cut over here in the UK. I found a great place that cut both the chassis plates for £45 (4mm alu, 6061) and both shocks towers for £15! The plasma finish is a bit rough so it needs a bit of treating, but after that it looks fine.:018:

What system you plan to run in it?

Coolhand, thanks dude. I just ordered two Mamba 5700 systems to run in it...but after reading recent posts on the 5700 motor, I'm worried that they might overheat. They'd be running on two packs of eight 4500mah Elite NiMh cells (wired in parallel to create one 9000mah batt). I was assured by Shawn that heat wouldn't be a problem, but I must admit that I'm dubious. Does anyone have a prediction about the runtime that I should expect? Like I say, I'm guessing in between 10-20 mins, but having never run them before...I really don't know lol!:032:
