Yah, it is a viscous circle really! I just want 7075-T6 on the bottom plate strictly for abuse reasons, after all it sees all the action.
Here are the weights on each part:
Drive shaft (steel): 20 grams
Chassis plate (7075): 140 grams
Chassis braces: 93 grams (x2)
Front connect plate: 7 grams
Rear connect plate: 27 grams
motor/gear mount: 23 grams
rear bearing mount: 10 grams
Total weight: 413 grams
HOWEVER, i do not need a transmission. I am using a direct pinion/spur setup as it is the simplest, and strong enough. Im thinking i am going to make a new shaft setup to allow for Revo slipper, and maybe a V1 slipperential.
But, if anyone likes the general design, and would like to have one, i could perhaps make a more 'standard' design. Such that it will take a tranny, slipperential, etc. and upper level servo mounts.
cheers!
