oh sorry, i did type emaxx in there, i guess not plain enough.

It may not look like much with one brace on it's own, but a motor mount/gear mount, shaft bearing floater, bottom chassis plate, upper connecting plates, and ESC mount/heatsink (Quark 125) are yet to be made. So sit tight, it's coming! One major feature of it is the extreme rigidity.

Alibre CAD tells me one brace weights in at 94 grams, i am aiming to cut that down to AT LEAST 60 grams. That's 6061-T6, i might just go ahead and use 7075-T6 alloy, it's almost twice as strong, and hard.

Cheers,

zero
